Fender Limited Edition Sandblasted Stratocaster Ash MN CRT

General

This rather tempting Sandblasted Crimson Red Transparent Fender Stratocaster has an unusual finish. Its body was first given a black base coat and then covered with a transparent red lacquer. Subsequently, the body was sandblasted to really bring out the beautiful grain of the ash. The combination of wood types, vibrato unit and hardware also isn't very common among Fender instruments. All in all, this is a unique Strat, both where its looks and its specs are concerned.

Construction

Thanks to its ash body, this guitar's sound features less mid frequencies and stronger basses and trebles than that of a guitar with an alder body would. The bolt-on maple neck has a 22-fret maple fretboard. Three American Standard single-coil pickups ensure proper amplification. As a cherry on top, this Stratocaster also features a no-load tone control circuit for the middle and bridge pickup. This circuit takes out the tone controls in the highest position of the pickup switch so you can fully enjoy the pure signal of the high-quality pickups.
