Fender Rei Stratocaster R246 Electric Guitar

The Rei Stratocaster R246 was developed based on the modified Stratocaster that Rei has used for many years, fitted with her preferred Lead II neck. The neck profile, described by Rei as offering the most comfortable feel in her hands, has been faithfully recreated and boldly extended to 24 frets. The body has also been made slightly smaller, allowing smooth and effortless access from the lowest positions all the way to the 24th fret while preserving the classic Stratocaster silhouette.

To improve tuning stability, this model features a 2-point synchronized tremolo with Graph Tech saddles. Its tonal core comes from a set of Vintage Noiseless pickups, preserving the classic Strat sound while eliminating unwanted noise.

The finish, called Rei Blu, was inspired by the cover art of Rei’s first album. Additional signature details include Rei’s signature engraved on the back of the headstock and a custom-designed R246 logo created specifically for this model.
