It combines bold visual style with a more modern, performance-oriented spec set, while still keeping plenty of classic Fender character. Finished in custom Rei Blue, this model stands out immediately, and the slightly downsized body, 24-fret neck, and thoughtful signature details make it one of the more unique recent Fender Japan releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"664\" data-end=\"673\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"675\" data-end=\"865\"\u003eThis guitar is in mint condition.

The 24-fret neck, slightly downsized body, and 2-point tremolo make it a more modern and performance-focused instrument, while the Vintage Noiseless pickups keep the sound clear, dynamic, and usable across a wide range of styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2352\" data-end=\"2613\"\u003eThis model also includes a number of unique signature touches, including the custom Rei Blue finish, signature graphic on the face of the headstock, and the R246 logo on the back. It is a genuinely distinctive artist model rather than just a cosmetic variation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2615\" data-end=\"2626\"\u003eTone \u0026amp; Feel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2628\" data-end=\"2857\"\u003eThis guitar has a very fast, lively, and responsive feel. The 24-fret layout and slightly smaller body make upper fret access easier than on a traditional Strat, and the Rei Original C neck feels comfortable and easy in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2859\" data-end=\"3149\"\u003eThe Vintage Noiseless pickups offer classic Strat-style clarity and articulation with reduced noise, making this a very flexible guitar for clean tones, edge-of-breakup sounds, and more driven lead work. At just 6 lbs 14 oz, it is also impressively lightweight and very comfortable to play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3151\" data-end=\"3172\"\u003eTransparency \u0026amp; Photos\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3174\" data-end=\"3541\"\u003eAs with all Guitar Chimp listings, detailed photos are provided of the actual instrument.
