Fender Limited Edition Whiteguard Stratocaster Electric Guitar, Maple Fingerboard, Hard Case - Vintage Blonde

For every guitarist who’s dreamt of combining the biting twang of a Telecaster® with the sleek, ergonomic contours of a Strat, we created this limited-edition guitar: The Whiteguard Strat. Tele hardware, electronics and playing feel? Check. Ash Strat body with lacquer finish and custom-shaped white pickguard? Check. The unique style and sound you can only get from Fender? You better believe that’s a check.

The secret to this Strat’s biting tone is the pair of Fender Custom Shop ’51 Nocaster pickups. True to the original design, these pickups have the classic sound that made the world fall in love with Fender. The “Modern C”-shaped maple Telecaster neck sports a 9.5”-radius fingerboard for enhanced playability, along with 22 narrow-tall frets and a bone nut. Other stylish touches include a silver Fender logo on the headstock and a “Limited Edition” neck plate.

A twisted take on a classic model, The Whiteguard Strat is a visually stimulating music machine that sounds as killer as it looks. Includes a hardshell case and Certificate of Authenticity.

ASH BODY

Strong and dense, with a striking grain pattern, ash is classic Fender tone wood. Notably resonant, it offers clearly chiming highs, well-defined midrange and strong low end.

LACQUER FINISH

The nitrocellulose lacquer finish lets the body breathe with its true tonal character and also ages and wears in a distinctively personal way.

MODERN PLAYBILITY

Combining a modern 9.5”-radius maple fingerboard with narrow-tall frets gives this instrument a comfortable fret-hand feel while making it easier to bend notes without fretting out.

CUSTOM SHOP ‘51 NOCASTER PICKUPS

Created to accurately mimic the original Nocaster pickups, these period-correct single-coil pickups have tight low end and clear, balanced midrange.

AMERICAN PROFESSIONAL TELE BRIDGE

Blending vintage style with modern feel and performance, this Telecaster bridge sports three compensated brass barrel saddles for accurate intonation and vintage-informed tone.

BONE NUT

A string nut fashioned from bone contributes to superior tone and performance, as well as being an authentic original-era Fender design element.
