Combining exotic tonewoods with premium pickups and appointments, the limited-edition Rarities Collection creates unique musical experiences. The Rarities Flametop Stratocaster HSS Thinline features a mahogany body with a Violin Burst flame maple top and solid rosewood neck. The Custom Shop 69 single-coil pickups add a breathy, open note to the traditional Strat voice, while the custom DoubleTap bridge pickup offers both a sweet humbucking voice and — via an S-1 switch — dynamic single-coil sound. Other features include pearloid inlays, two-point synchronized tremolo with bent-steel saddles and pop-in arm, staggered-height tuning machines, and special Limited Edition neck plate.
