Brown anodized aluminum pickguards that are guaranteed to turn heads in the studio or onstage. With their weathered exteriors and a look that’s bona fide Americana, U.S.-made Fender special edition Rustic Ash Telecaster® and Stratocaster® guitars prove that some things do look better with time. And with 60-plus years of perfected pickup artistry under our belts, we know they sound better, too. FSR Rustic Ash Strat and FSR Rustic Ash Tele available http://www.fender.com/features/american-rustic-ash/fsr-american-stratocaster-rustic-ash http://www.fender.com/features/american-rustic-ash/fsr-american-telecaster-rustic-ash
peterleroux Alan Ratcliffe wrote I'm not wild about aluminium pickguards, but the wood finishes are great. That green strat is tasty, but I think a parchment pickguard would look better. Brown pickguard looks ok on the blonde tele, though
peterleroux Norman86 wrote These FSR's only come with the brown anodized pickguard! Nothing stopping you from swapping them out though.
UntitledNinja Anyone know when these will be available and the price? Really like the sonic blue model.
andrewjbryson Beautiful! Fender probably wanted this series to have a distinctive look so they sticked with the brown anodized pickguard. I think it works. Very cool
