Hey, this is Josh Smith, here with Fender,
checking out the Fender Rarities Quilt Maple Top Stratocaster.
The Rarities is a limited collection
to showcase the best of everything Fender has to offer,
including the best hardware, either custom
made pickups for each guitar, or custom shop pickups, or US Pure
Vintage.
And the guitar is made in the Corona, California, factory.
The tone you heard in the beginning
is a guitar plugged into a 64 Hand-wired Deluxe Reverb,
with little distortion and reverb.
Let's hear some clean tones, and then, we'll
take a look at the key features.

All right, here's a quick look at the key features.
The guitar has a two-piece, roasted alder body,
with a quilt maple top, and a gloss polyurethane finish.
The pickups are set a Pure Vintage
'65 Gray-Bottom single-coils in the bridge, middle,
and neck, great sounding pickups, sweet and articulate.
And to add to the vintage look, we
have one-ply, gold anodized aluminum pickguard,
standard Strat controls, volume, two tones, and a five-way,
and a Fender Pure Vintage synchronized tremolo.
It has a beautiful rosewood neck,
with a "60s C"-shaped neck profile,
solid rosewood fretboard, and hand-rubbed satin urethane
on the back.
9 and 1/2 inch fingerboard radius, 21 vintage-tall frets,
and Pure Vintage Fender Deluxe tuners.
Let's hear a little more from this guitar.
This time around, I'm going to bring back some pedals.
So let's check it out.
