Description
If you're into high-performance Strats with a boutique vibe, the Fender Richie Kotzen Stratocaster is going to speak your language. Built for the seasoned player who wants both flash and feel, this one brings Richie's distinctive specs to a production model that's finally available outside of Japan. With its eye-catching Transparent White Burst finish over a flame maple top, it's a guitar that commands attention before you even plug in. Perfect for intermediate to pro players chasing big tone and killer playability.
Under the hood, you've got an ash body topped with flame maple, a thick "C" neck with a 12" radius maple fingerboard, and 22 super jumbo frets that make bends effortless. The DiMarzio single coils are voiced to cut through a mix with clarity and punch, whether you're on stage or tracking in the studio. Add in the 5-way switching and separate tone controls, and this Strat gives you the kind of sonic flexibility that's hard to outgrow.
It's also just plain fun to play. The thick neck fills your hand in a way that encourages confident phrasing, and the Gotoh tuners with pearl buttons lock in tuning without drama. The gold hardware and pearloid guard push the looks over the top without feeling flashy just to be flashy. We've had a lot of high-end Strats come through, and this one holds its own with style, tone, and substance.
