Meet the Fender Rarities Koa Flame Ash Top Strat

Check this beauty out! It features a two-piece ash body with a flame koa top and a one-piece, quartersawn European maple neck. The custom Tim Shaw overwound 59 gold-foil single-coil pickups are warm and clear, while the Shaw custom Filter’Tron-style humbucking pickup delivers a powerful, articulate voice. The “Modern C”-shaped quartersawn neck delivers classic Strat tone while the 9.5”-radius fingerboard and narrow-tall frets make it comfortable to play.
Here’s a closer look at those pickups. The gold-foil single coils look amazing and I hope we see more Strats with this pickup configuration. I’m imagining these on a bound black Strat or on a Mustang or something. Oh please, Fender.
