Fender FINAL FANTASY XIV Stratocaster

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.

MAPLE “C” SHAPE NECK WITH 9.5” RADIUS ROSEWOOD FINGERBOARD
