Black Paisley

The Black Paisley finish is what immediately separates this limited-edition Stratocaster from a conventional production model.

The paisley pattern is framed by a dark outer burst, creating a more dramatic appearance than Fender’s traditional paisley finishes while retaining the unmistakable late-’60s-inspired aesthetic.

Combined with the maple fingerboard, black dot inlays, and vintage-style hardware, it gives this Strat a distinctive look without straying from classic Fender design.

1969-Inspired Feel

The maple neck features Fender Japan’s 1969 “U” profile, paired with a traditional 7.25" fingerboard radius and 21 vintage-style frets.

Vintage-style single-coil pickups, a five-way selector, F-stamped tuners, and a six-saddle synchronized tremolo complete the familiar Stratocaster configuration.

Upgraded Hard-Shell Case

A major advantage of this example is the included hard-shell case.

The case is a substantial upgrade over the protection offered by a soft gig bag, providing a rigid shell and much better protection for storage, transportation, and shipping. It also gives the complete package a more premium presentation and is especially worthwhile for a limited-edition Fender Japan model.

For buyers comparing examples offered with soft bags, the included hard-shell case is a meaningful added benefit that helps set this guitar apart.
