Real rarities

Top of the range. The Fender Rarities series combines the best pickups with exotic tonewoods for a truly unique and powerful playing experience. You'll hear the difference in the way these guitars feel and sound – they're a step up from anything else. Helping to bring out the best in your riffs, they're real treasures which will bring you a lifetime of quality tone and performance.

A trio of tone

They're packed with punch. Pure Vintage '65 single coils sit in the bridge, middle, and neck positions - they create a waterfall of sound. With these beauties humming away beneath your hand, you'll be able to make your licks shine like never before. The bridge pickup has a strong, bright midrange which cuts through, whilst the neck pickup is warm, rich, and smooth. Then there's the middle – balanced and articulate, it bridges the tonal gap between the two. This trio of pickups will serve you well in any situation, from the studio to the stage.

Rare rosewood

It's a sight to behold. The rosewood neck on this fine guitar is incredibly unique – you'll only find it on a handful of guitars. Warm and smooth in tone and superbly sleek, your hand will enjoy pure bliss as you fly along its surface. Its darkness contrasts with the body for a beautiful visual effect. Then there's the rosewood fretboard. Fresh, smooth, and comfortable, you'll love improvising on this superbly crafted tool. It also offers plenty of note sustain to help those notes and string bends ring out. This fine combination offers a wealth of sonic possibilities for you to explore.

Naturally beautiful

It's a rare sight. A quilt maple top on a Stratocaster. But it works exceptionally well. With a beautiful, natural finish, it truly helps this guitar to stand out from the crowd. It also offers a touch more tonal brightness, whilst being protected by a luscious black pickguard. You'll never want to take your eyes off it.

Built to last

Like a fortress. This American Original 60s Strat has it all – from a solid bridge to quality tuners. You won't have any tuning issues with this expertly crafted model, and you'll find that this gives you complete peace of mind playing live. The alder body is also sturdy, and adds a strong resonance to this guitar's overall sound. Both rare and exceptional, anyone who touches this guitar is sure to fall in love with it.
