Fender Custom Shop Lexus LC Stratocaster

MORE ABOUT FENDER LEXUS LC STRATOCASTER®
The all-new master designed Fender Lexus LC Stratocaster guitar is the newest custom-built piece designed by Fender Custom Shop Principal Master Builder Ron Thorn. The guitar features an omnidirectional Structural Blue finish — a spectral range that produces a light-metallic to deep midnight-blue color inspired by the Morpho butterfly, whose uncommonly large iridescent-blue wings create the illusion that the beautiful insect disappears and reappears in mid-flight. Until now, the only other use of Structural Blue has been on the Lexus LC 500 Inspiration Series coupe and convertible. The fasteners on the guitar’s pickguard are black-button machine head screws that create a clean automotive appearance, and the latest version of Fender’s Noiseless pickups are used here by the Custom Shop for the first time.

The fingerboard is a polished deep blue made from Richlite, a material new to the Fender Custom Shop and selected exclusively for this build given its similarity to components in Lexus vehicles. To match the Lexus sound system configuration, Thorn included custom machined-brushed aluminum knobs to match the auto’s Mark Levinson knobs while reducing the typical number of Stratocaster control knobs from three to two — Master Volume and Master Tone.

Seems like this would have been an HSS. Super cool, none the less.

Looking forward to playing this guitar when it’s shipped!! 😊😊

I definitely have weird taste in guitars, and this is a dream strat for me. This guitar made me put a carbon pickguard on my metallic red telecaster. Also I’m a Toyota/Lexus nerd.

That’s a nice looking guitar sounds good your playing is awesome as ever

[billytee]

Beautiful guitar with some great sound. Some nice playing too!

Just because something can be done, doesn't mean it should

Why Lexus? Lol This reminds me of the South Park episode where Satan gets an Acura cake instead of a Ferrari cake

0:41 damn, that neck is not seated correctly in the pocket.
The strings are way off center.

Love the look of it. I’m curious to the pickups and pots, and why they chose to use a single volume knob (which I like)

[johnbriggs]

Have they done a Jaguar Jaguar? Or a Ford Model T?

[garycoates]

Honestly, , , give me a super-ultra-mega-heavy relic any day of the week over this for the looks, that being said it does sound good. And on the other side I would love to see fender make a complete carbon fiber strat

[Scaredycat-dad]

Beautiful color, the Na’vi will love it.

[DeirdreSM]

OMG, they’re finally getting out? Can’t wait for mine; literally ordered from my local dealer minutes after I heard about them.

[kisschicken]

How do you have time to get this good and still play Hell Let Loose?

The pick guard to the bottom side of the neck is cut wrong.

If a lexus could make music it would be a boring but very comfortable song.
