Fender FINAL FANTASY XIV Stratocaster Electric Guitar Rosewood Fingerboard, Black
DESCRIPTION
Developed in collaboration with the FFXIV team, the limited-edition Final Fantasy® XIV Stratocaster® captures the originality, style and excitement of one of the world's most popular online role-playing video games.
This incredibly unique Stratocaster is dressed in all black with a body that features translucent sections of blue and purple "crystals" designed to mirror Crystals of Darkness and Light, key thematic elements of the game.
The guitar features a maple neck with a slim "Modern C" shape that fits comfortably in the hand. A 9.5" radius rosewood fingerboard with narrow tall frets affords precise fretting and choke-free bends. Crystalline, warm and touch-sensitive tones are made possible via a trio of V-Mod single-coil Strat pickups while a "limit break" (a special ability used in FFXIV) switch takes the form of a push-push tone pot that puts the bridge and middle pickups in series for beefier sounds.
The FFXIV Stratocaster is highlighted with special game badging in the form of a meteor symbol inlaid into the 12th fret and a numbered neck plate decorated with the Final Fantasy XIV logo. Another special badge featuring both Fender and FFXIV logos adorns the front of the included vintage-style hardshell case. The guitar also comes with a special book containing a numbered certificate and an exclusive FFXIV illustration card made by Square Enix.
CRYSTAL OF DARKNESS AND LIGHT
Cloaked in all black from the headstock to the hardware, the body is infused with crystal accents to symbolize light and darkness
METEOR INLAY
A comfortable rosewood fingerboard boasts an inlay in the shape of the Final Fantasy “meteor” at the 12th fret
LIMIT BREAK SWITCH
A “limit break switch” mimics a crucial gameplay aspect of Final Fantasy XIV, and by pushing it, you can access thick, overdriven sounds reminiscent of a humbucking pickup.
V-MOD SINGLE-COIL STRAT® PICKUPS
Covering a multitude of tones from glassy cleans with the bell-like chime and warmth that made Fender an icon, to raucous crunch and rich lead tones, this specially calibrated set can do it all.
VINTAGE-STYLE HARDWARE IN SMOKED CHROME
Black nickel hardware complements the dark finish and crystal highlights. The six-point tremolo offers proper intonation, full adjustability, and a wide array of cool vibrato sounds. Includes a custom numbered neck plate decorated with the Final Fantasy XIV logo
MAPLE “C” SHAPE NECK WITH 9.5” RADIUS ROSEWOOD FINGERBOARD
Premium rosewood provides traditional Fender tone while a flatter 9.5” radius offers superb playability and smooth bending.
