2022 Fender Final Fantasy XIV Stratocaster Black with Blue/Purple Crystals

A brand new Fender Final Fantasy XIV Stratocaster in Black Finish with Imbedded Blue/Purple Crystal finish.

One of the things we love most about Fender is the innovation they consistently display while still remaining true to their roots. From the beginning, Leo Fender designed his guitars based on what guitar players wanted. It's no different today as evidenced by this inspired creation that pays tribute to guitarists who also love online role-playing games like Final Fantasy XIV. Here's what Fender has to say about their latest creation.

FROM FENDER:

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.
