Fender has announced the latest limited-edition electric guitar to join its Rarities series, the Flame Ash Top Stratocaster.
The guitar is built from a two-piece alder body, with a - surprise, surprise - flame ash top, finished in Plasma Red Burst nitrocellulose.
A one-piece birdseye maple neck features a ’60s C-shape with 9.5” radius, while pickups comprise a trio of Custom Shop 54 single coils.
Elsewhere, you’ll find vintage-style hardware and a six-point synchronized tremolo.
The Rarities Flame Ash Top Stratocaster is available now for $2,499/£2,219. See Fender for more info.
It follows last month’s Red Mahogany Top Telecaster and April's Flame Maple Top Stratocaster, with more limited-edition models set for release throughout the year.
