FENDER UNVEILS TASH SULTANA SIGNATURE STRAT

Fender has been on a signature guitar roll of late, and looping pioneer Tash Sultana is the latest recipient of a signature Stratocaster. Sultana’s made-in-Mexico model makes a statement with its Transparent Cherry‑finished alder body, pearloid pickguard, matching headstock and gold hardware, but it’s got some versatile sonic tricks onboard, too.

The HSS pickup configuration is composed of a coil-splittable DoubleTap humbucker, as well as two Yosemite single-coils, as seen in Fender’s American Performer series. The tone controls adjust the neck/middle and bridge pickups respectively.

Other specs include a deep C-shaped maple neck with 9.5-inch radius, 22 medium jumbo frets and a vintage-style Synchronized tremolo. Signature touches include a custom ‘skull’ neckplate, as well as Sultana’s signature on the rear of the headstock.
