WTB: Fiesta red Startocaster with Rosewood board

What's Hot
NCoNCo Frets: 44
edited September 2023 in Guitars £

Continuing my search!

 Looking for a Stratocaster with the following specs ONLY:

  • Fiesta Red.
  • Alder/Ash body - No basswood, poplar or any other option.
  • 21 frets.
  • Maple neck with a Rosewood fingerboard. No one piece Rosewood or Pau Ferro fretboards.
  • 6-point tremolo.
  • 9.5" radius is preferred, but might consider 7.25".
  • Prefer nitro.
  • No crazy relic, please.
  • Vintage style 50's/60's pickups, nothing high gain, ceramic or active.


Up to £1500 for the right guitar, although it would not hurt to get some change

Some considerations:
  • Anything that fits the budget and specs considered.
  • Partscasters are great.
  • Refinished guitars are also great.
  • Non Fender Stratocasters are great.
  • AVRI 62/AV 61 could work.
  • No problem with made in Japan/Mexico.
  • No Squiers or anything made in China.
  • Fully loaded project body could also work.

Thanks for reading!

    Thanks for that, but it isn't fiesta red and has 22 frets.

    It would be helpful to know your budget. I have a fiesta strat but it wouldn't be cheap.

    As stated in my post, noting custom shop and anything from AVRI to Mexican. Looking at some AVRI models that were sold here over the last month or so that would mean £1200-£1300 tops?

    I have a 60s Traditional MIJ in fiesta red w/ rosewood. 9.5" radius. It's a basswood body. 21 frets. One small ding on the underside of the body otherwise mint. Awesome guitar and now discontinued. Way better than anything MIM I've played.

    Fair enough, that rules my one out then. Good luck with your search.

    After an unsuccessful first attempt, trying again. Hoping I won't have to resort to a project build.
