“Channeling the Sound of a Rock Legend” – Fender Releases the Custom Shop Limited Edition John Frusciante Stratocaster

Guitarists are drooling over one of the hottest releases from Fender. Take a look at this Limited Edition Masterbuilt John Frusciante Stratocaster.

Handmade in tribute to the mythic sound and tones of Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante’s 1962 Sunburst Strat… This new guitar is a true work of art, crafted by Fender’s Senior Master Builder, Paul Waller.

Known for his meticulous attention to every detail, Waller replicates every nuance of Frusciante’s guitar with accuracy. Ever wanted to play with the depth, emotion, and subtle brilliance of the legendary Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist? Now’s your chance.

A Tasteful Recreation of Frusciante’s Iconic 60’s Strat

The first thing that strikes you is the body. It’s a perfect relic’d masterpiece with every little detail to capture decades of hard-rocking history.

The finish is a dead ringer for Frusciante’s original, with just the right amount of wear Fender fans love. But the light, resonant weight of this guitar feels as organic to hold as it does to hear, breathing life into the Stratocaster’s golden era.

You’ll notice the early 60s “C” shape rift-sawn maple neck complete with a slab rosewood fingerboard — so you can easily mimic Red Hot Chili Peppers riffs or draw inspiration from that style of sound.

Hand-Wound Pickups by Abigail Ybarra

To capture Frusciante’s unmistakable tone, Fender has equipped this Strat with three ’60s-style Strat pickups hand-wound by none other than Abigail Ybarra, a Fender legend in her own right.

These pickups have amazing range, highlighting Frusciante’s signature blend of clean tones and intense overdrive. Every note you play on the fretboard rings with a dynamic response. The best part is how that fretboard seems to fit a wide variety of styles. They truly capture Frusciante’s iconic sound.

Noise-Free Overdrive: The Hum-Canceling System

You’ll also find the Ilitch Electronics Hum-Canceling system, which is one of the modern enhancements made to this classic-style guitar. This system helps you slam those high-gain tones without having to put up with unwanted noises.

Staying true to Frusciante’s impeccable tone, the hum-canceling system keeps the background noise as silent as possible, so you can crank the distortion without ruining clarity. The hum-canceling technology will ensure that you only hear what you’re playing – without much buzz or distraction.

The Perfect Guitar for Collectors, Players, and Performers

The Limited Edition Masterbuilt John Frusciante Stratocaster is truly incredible, combining vintage authenticity with subtle updates for modern players.

It’s so much more than a guitar. This is a perfectly designed tribute to one of rock’s most influential players. Revisit rock history by getting your hands on it, and experience the iconic feel of a rock legend when you slide your fingers up the fretboard. Check it out here.
