These are actual photos of the one you will get and this one weighs in at 7 pounds, 5.82 ounces.

Butler Music is pleased to offer this exclusive FSR Road Worn ‘60s Stratocaster in Three Colour Sunburst, spec’d in-house to offer you what we feel best represents the ultimate early ‘60s Fender Stratocaster.  This model is a limited edition FSR (Fender Special Run) Model - this model is not standard to the Vintera II range. It features a Road Worn Lacquer 3-Color Sunburst finish, Custom Shop Texas Special pickups and is available in limited quantities. 

Featuring a ‘60s C-shaped neck with slab Rosewood fingerboard in partnership with a 9.5” radius and Medium Jumbo frets, this Strat strikes the perfect balance of speed and comfort and is a pleasure to play up and down the fingerboard, no matter what genre. Its alder body provides a balanced and resonant tone with just the right amount of mid-range push to stand out in any situation.

We pushed the limits even further by selecting a special Nitrocellulose Road Worn finish which has been specifically aged to mimic the natural ageing and finish checking that occurs over time, even after only the most careful use. Its trio of Fender Custom Shop Texas Special pickups provides full-throttle vintage Strat tones with enough punch and bite to tear through any mix, and its Classic Series wood hardcase offers premium protection both at home and on the road.

Closet Vibe Road Worn

The Fender FSR Road Worn ‘60s Stratocaster celebrates the innovation of this early period in Fender's legendary history and offers guitarists a genuine taste of this bygone era by tapping into the core essence of these early revolutionary models. The special closet vibe, Road Worn Nitrocellulose Lacquer finish in Three Colour Sunburst looks like the real thing. It’s expertly done light finish checking and tarnishing to the hardware oozes irresistible vintage charm, and the vintage-voiced, American-made pickups with era-specific neck profiles make it easy to lose yourself in the authentic vibe and mojo!

Texas Specials

Originally introduced in the early ‘90s, the Fender Texas Special pickups were designed to reproduce the esteemed fiery-hot Texas blues Strat tones that rose to popularity in the 1980s. These over-wound vintage-styled Stratocaster pickups offer a bell-like chime, sweet highs, and a snappy bass with cutting mids that help push overdriven tones to the next level! Made using Alnico V magnets with Enamel-coated magnet wire along with period-correct pull-back cloth wire and black fibre bobbins, these pickups are perhaps the ultimate Strat pickups.
