Introducing the latest signature guitar from Soichiro Yamauchi, the well - known vocalist and lead guitarist of Fuji Fabric. A big Telecaster fan with his famous Fiesta Red Stratocaster, Yamauchi designed this model to blend the best of both guitars. The ash body, with a white satin finish, has a special thin - line design. It's hollowed out on the left and right but keeps the center intact. Paired with the CuNiFe® Wide Range Humbucker on the original aluminum machined escutcheon, it creates a rich and warm sound. Yamauchi paid great attention to details. At the bridge position, it follows the specs of his 54 - year - old Telecaster and is upgraded with a Custom Wired Vintage Style Single Coil for a stronger tone. By highlighting the Telecaster's bridge structure on the Stratocaster, string vibrations are directly transmitted to the pickup. The neck grip, inspired by the 54 - year - old Telecaster, balances thickness and comfort by narrowing the nut width. With unique features like a direct switch for quick transitions from rhythm to lead guitar, this guitar shows Yamauchi's innovation. Only available in the first production from the official store, each comes with a signed fret guard, making it a truly one - of - a - kind collectible.

Using this guitar is a breeze. First, tune it up with the tuning machines. You can switch between different tones easily with the pickups and the direct switch. When you're done playing, put it in the gig bag to protect it. For maintenance, keep it in a dry place. Wipe the body with a soft cloth regularly to keep the satin finish looking great. Check the strings often and replace them when they start to sound dull. Also, make sure the hardware doesn't get loose. If you notice any issues, take it to a professional guitar technician.
