FSR American Srtatocaster Rustic Ash - Surf Green
 This product is no longer available.
The FSR American Stratocaster Rustic Ash introduces a visually striking new Strat style. It features a never-before-seen brown anodized aluminum pickguard, which accentuates the attractive wood grain visible through the ash body's elegantly faded satin lacquer finish. Together, these create a complete aesthetic entirely new in nearly six decades of Stratocaster design.

Other premium features include a tinted maple neck with satin urethane back finish, 9.5"-radius maple (Surf Green model) or rosewood (Olympic White model) fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets, three Texas Special single-coil Strat pickups with five-way switching, aged white control knobs (master volume and "no load" tone control), and two-point synchronized tremolo bridge with vintage-style bent steel saddles and high-mass block.

Walking into the store, my eyes locked immediately to the surf green Strat hanging up on the wall. I read quite a bit into it prior on Fenders site, and was piqued by it's traditional design, with a modern-like antiquated look. First impressions were quite good. I own to American Standards, (98 and 11) and found this to be a slice above the two in terms of out of the box fun. These FSR's tend to try a new flavor to the old and true, and that resulted in my mixed bag. The Texas specials rang true, and I was quite impressed with the feel - but after extensive hours playing it, I'm already debating a swap of pups for something with a bit more kick and less twang. Previous standards I own had more of a rounded sound that didn't feel so resonated when transitioning styles, whereas this guitar does modest justice for the pups chosen. Mind you, Fender has way to many Texas Specials laying around so prepare for more with them in it. The pros' though - stellar to look at, just can't stop picking it up even next to my Les Paul Traditional it just stands special. It plays like butter, and after the initial set up and brake in, I love how the sustain kicks. It's one of those "play it with your eyes closed" smooth experiences. Standard toggling and volume/tone knobs for a familiar feel. Overall - I'm very happy I picked this guitar up, and I know that with a bit of playing with pickup configurations this guitar will achieve exactly what my head is thinking the sound aught to be.

The boyz at Fender really got this one right, this guitar has the play ability of a "Road Worn older Strat" and the sound is a bit more punchy than my other American Made Strat's, this guitar is Worth every bit of money I paid! I wasn't crazy about the Surf Green colour at first but its really grown on me, my main reason for the purchase was the playability and the Sound, it Amazing!

Got it on sale, very rare for American made Strats. Got the surf green colour and love the way the grain comes through. Took a few days to get used to such a different finish but really love it.Tried an American Deluxe and Standard at the same time and actually prefered the sound of this one. Might be the Texas Special pickups or the Ash body...maybe the combo of both. But seemed to have a little more snarl than the more expensive models.Great Strat neck, very playable. Love this guitar.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.

Great Additions
