Product Information
The Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Ariel Posen Stratocaster in Faded Lake Placid Blue is a distinctive signature electric guitar developed in collaboration with acclaimed guitarist Ariel Posen. Combining vintage-inspired Stratocaster styling with unconventional electronics and premium Custom Shop craftsmanship, this limited-edition instrument captures the expressive feel, dynamic response and powerful tones that define Posen's playing style.
From soulful grooves and beautifully voiced chords to soaring slide solos and saturated fuzz tones, Ariel Posen is known for his unmistakable musical approach. As a self-described Stratocaster enthusiast, Posen worked with the Fender Custom Shop to create a guitar that combines his favourite traditional Fender characteristics with carefully selected custom features.
The guitar features a two-piece select roasted alder body finished in Faded Lake Placid Blue Relic nitrocellulose lacquer. Its aged appearance evokes the character of a well-played mid-1960s instrument, while the roasted alder construction provides a resonant foundation for the guitar's distinctive sound. A quartersawn 2A flame maple neck with a substantial 1969 "U" profile offers a vintage-inspired playing experience, complemented by a premium 3A rosewood fingerboard with a comfortable 9.5-inch radius.
At the heart of the Ariel Posen Stratocaster are two custom AP-90 pickups, developed in collaboration with renowned Fender pickup designer Tim Shaw. These pickups combine the warmth and clarity associated with a vintage Jazzmaster neck pickup with the pronounced midrange bite of a classic soapbar-style bridge pickup. The result is a versatile tonal character capable of delivering delicate, bell-like cleans, rich chord voicings and powerful overdriven sounds.
The electronics feature custom Caballo Férreo wiring with simplified master volume and master tone controls, operated using distinctive brown cupcake knobs. A three-position toggle switch provides straightforward access to the bridge pickup, both pickups together or the neck pickup. This intuitive configuration allows players to move quickly between contrasting tones during performances.
A vintage-style six-saddle string-through-body Stratocaster hardtail bridge with bent steel saddles contributes to the guitar's resonance, sustain and direct response. Additional appointments include 21 Jescar Vintage frets, mother-of-pearl position markers, vintage-style tuning machines, a bone nut, a three-ply parchment pickguard and nickel/chrome hardware.
Supplied with a deluxe hardshell case, Moody Leather Ariel Posen signature strap, The Rock Slide Ariel Posen signature brass slide, Dunlop Ariel Posen picks and a certificate of authenticity, this limited-edition Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster offers a complete signature instrument package. With its premium materials, custom electronics and distinctive Relic finish, it is an exceptional choice for guitarists seeking expressive vintage-inspired tone with a unique modern personality.
