About Fender Rarities Stratocaster

Combining exotic tonewoods with premium pickups and appointments, the limited-edition Rarities Collection creates a truly unique musical experience. The Rarities Flame Maple Top Stratocaster features a two-piece alder body with a flame maple Golden Brown top and a solid rosewood neck capped with a flame maple fingerboard. The Pure Vintage 65 Strat pickups add a classic voice to the more modern, custom DoubleTap bridge pickup which offers both a sweet humbucking voice and-via an S-1 switch-a dynamic single-coil sound.

The "Modern C"-shaped solid rosewood neck with flame maple fingerboard provides both depth and snap while the 9.5"-14" compound-radius fingerboard and narrow-tall frets make bending easy. Other features include black pearloid dot inlays, two-point synchronized tremolo with bent-steel saddles and pop-in arm, staggered-height tuning machines and special Limited Edition neck plate. Includes a brown vintage-style hardshell case.

Flame Maple Top
The lightweight and resonant two-piece alder body sports a flame maple Golden Brown cap that adds elegance to this guitar.

Premium Pickups

Solid Rosewood Neck with Flame Maple Fingerboard

Compound Radius
The 9.5"-14" compound-radius fingerboard and narrow-tall frets offer modern comfort and playability.

S-1 Switch
The S-1 switch activates the DoubleTap technology, switching from a humbucking voice to powerful single-coil sound.

The Rarities Flame Maple Top Stratocaster includes a deluxe brown hardshell case.
