Made from select ash whose singular styling is clearly visible through a coating of aged transparent satin lacquer, the American Stratocaster Rustic Ash delivers all of the sparkle and bite you'd expect from a Strat. Moreover, a trio of Texas Special single-coil pickups give you the sound of pure southern rock and blues. Top it off with some very cool and unique hardware, and you just won't find another Strat like the Fender American Stratocaster Rustic Ash.

• The sound of Texas blues and Southern rock
• Hand-selected ash for astonishing looks and tone
• Decked out with premium hardware

The Fender American Stratocaster Rustic Ash brings you the sound that redefined the Texas blues sound. These Texas Special pickups are nothing less than overwound, calibrated, vintage style Strat pickups that deliver plenty of midrange chirp, crystal highs and the tight bass you want. Alnico 5 magnets and enamel coated magnet wire create the increased output and low noise, and a reverse wound/reverse polarity middle pickup adds hum cancelation to the American Stratocaster Rustic Ash's positions 2 and 4.

Ash and alder have been staple tonewoods as long as Fender has been around, but the ash Fender used for the American Stratocaster Rustic Ash will knock your socks off. This hand-selected body provides the natural definition, clarity, and punch you expect along with beautiful figuring. Finished in transparent satin lacquer, The American Stratocaster Rustic Ash provides you with a stunning balance of good looks, great sound, and a simple elegance.

Here's a combination of exceptional hardware you don't see all the time. From its artfully aged control knobs to its never-before-seen brown anodized aluminum pickguard, the American Stratocaster Rustic Ash looks like no other Strat out there. But this hardware runs more than skin deep. A 2-point synchronized tremolo with vintage-style bent steel saddles is all about business, and the high-mass steel block gives your American Stratocaster Rustic Ash plenty of extra sustain.
