Fender introduces a visually striking new Strat style – the FSR American Stratocaster Rustic Ash. Premium features include a tinted maple neck with satin urethane back finish, 9.5″-radius maple (Surf Green model) or rosewood (Olympic White model) fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets, three Texas Special™ single-coil Strat pickups with five-way switching, aged white control knobs (master volume and “no load” tone control), and two-point synchronized tremolo bridge with vintage-style bent steel saddles and high-mass block.
The Fender FSR American Stratocaster Rustic Ash features a never-before-seen brown anodized aluminum pickguard, which accentuates the attractive wood grain visible through the ash body’s elegantly faded satin lacquer finish. Together, these create a complete aesthetic entirely new in nearly six decades of Stratocaster design.
