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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplied 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
