Fender has teamed up with popular Australian singer/songwriter Tash Sultana to create a new signature Stratocaster.
The good-lookin' Strat features an alder body and a Modern “C”-shaped maple neck with a 9.5” radius and 22 medium jumbo frets. The guitar also sports a vintage-style synchronized tremolo.
Sonically, the Strat boasts a pair of Yosemite single coil pickups and a DoubleTap humbucker – coil-splittable via a push/pull tone knob – in an HSS configuration. The tone controls, meanwhile, adjust the neck/middle and bridge pickups.
Visually, the guitar is outfitted with a striking Transparent Cherry finish, a matching painted headstock, all-gold hardware, a custom “skull” neck plate, and a pearloid pickguard.
The Fender Tash Sultana Stratocaster is available now – with a gig bag included – for $1,099.99.
