Fender FSR Roasted Ash American Vintage '56 Stratocaster, Natural Overview

Fender FSR Roasted Ash American Vintage '56 Stratocaster Overview by GAK:

Roasting woods for use in guitar making involves the timber being specially heat treated to remove moisture and other impurities. As a result, the wood becomes lighter in weight, more resonant yet much less susceptible to moisture and climate changes making it more stable. This process also deepens the colour of the wood. Having been available for some time as a special order option in Fender's Custom Shop this process has now made it over to the American Vintage line as part of this limited edition 'Factory Special Run'!

The American Vintage ’56 Stratocaster guitar takes you back to mid-1956, when the model was still new and a brand-new musical phenomenon called rock ‘n’ roll was making its first raucous waves. Built with original tooling and based directly on real-deal 1956 models Fender tracked down, this U.S.-made guitar returns you to that electrifying era when the Strat was just beginning to stake its claim, with pure tonal magic, style and feel. Now available in this Limited Edition Roasted Ash finish, the American Vintage Stratoacaster takes on a distinctive look and feel. The thin, natural finish allows the guitar to resonate and unleash even more of that rock ‘n’ roll Strat tone.
