“When I picked up the Fender, it immediately responded to what I was putting into it. So I went out and bought a Tele and a Strat on the same day”: Fender's highly sought-after Richie Kotzen signature Stratocaster has just been rolled out worldwide

Richie Kotzen Signature Strat.

Fender is rolling out Richie Kotzen’s classy signature Stratocaster to the masses after the success of its Japan-exclusive release.

Bearing an ash body with a flame maple top, custom DiMarzio single coil pickups, and a thick “C”-shaped neck, the American virtuoso has strayed away from the classic Strat recipe, ensuring his individualism is all over the signature guitar.
