Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Ariel Posen Stratocaster Relic Faded Lake Placid Blue - Pre Order
Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Ariel Posen Stratocaster Relic Faded Lake Placid Blue - Pre Order
From scorching, octave fuzz-soaked slide solos to beautifully crafted chord changes and soulful grooves, Ariel Posen’s guitar playing is unmistakable. As a self-proclaimed “Strat guy,” Posen teamed up with the Fender Custom Shop to introduce the Limited Edition Ariel Posen Stratocaster, creating the most authentic representation of what he’s looking for in a guitar. Drawing influences from both traditional Fender specs and more unconventional features, this Strat can deliver anything from flowing, bell-like chime to gnarly, punchy tones.
***This is a one-time run that Fender is offering only to Custom Shop Showcase dealers. It is now available for pre-order and will start shipping in January 2026, continuing through the first quarter of the year. Only 100 will be built for the whole world, and once they are gone, that will be it - this will not be repeated.***
The Faded Lake Placid Blue Relic lacquer-finished 2-piece select roasted alder body, quartersawn AA flame maple neck and round-laminated rosewood fingerboard give this guitar the look and feel of a well-loved mid-‘60s instrument, while the dueling AP-90 pickups, simplified controls and cupcake knobs are distinctly representative of Ariel’s playing style and taste.
The custom pickups were designed in tandem with Fender’s legendary pickup designer, Tim Shaw, to capture both the nuanced warmth and clarity of a vintage Jazzmaster neck pickup and the powerful midrange bite of classic soapbar bridge pickups. When combined with vintage-style hardtail Stratocaster bridge and roasted alder, these pickups enhance even the most gentle, subtle playing with full-bodied resonance and sustain.
Other premium features include a 1969 “U” back-shape, 9.5” radius, 21 vintage upgrade (45085) frets, mother of pearl dot inlays, custom Caballo Férreo (master volume, master tone) wiring, 3-way switch, 3-ply parchment pickguard, vintage-style tuning machines bone nut, and an American Vintage ‘59-’64 string tree.
The guitar comes with a deluxe hardshell case, Moody Leather Ariel Posen signature strap, The Rock Slide Ariel Posen signature brass slide, Dunlop Ariel Posen picks and certificate of authenticity.
