Fender Rarities American Professional Strat Flame Maple Top, Rosewood Neck, Golden Brown Overview
Fender Rarities American Professional Strat Flame Maple Top, Rosewood Neck, Golden Brown Overview by GAK.
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.
