Fender Rarities Maple Top Stratocaster HSS Thinline

The Rarities Flametop Stratocaster HSS Thinline features a mahogany body with a stunning Violin Burst flame maple top, plus the luxury of a solid rosewood neck. The Custom Shop 69 single-coil pickups add a breathy, open note to the traditional Strat voice while the custom DoubleTap bridge pickup offers both a sweet humbucking voice and— via an S-1 switch—dynamic single-coil sound. If you're looking for traditional semi-hollowbody warmth and classic Strat playability, you can't afford to pass up this special instrument.
