While the Mod Shop is currently only available for US customers, it’s an intriguing move from the manufacturer. The Silverburst finish is only limited to those models selected with alder bodies, and can be added to bespoke Stratocaster, Telecaster and Jazzmaster creations.
Previously, Fender have played with Silverburst finishes on a limited edition FSR run from 2017. Tool’s Adam Jones claims that the Silverburst finish adds “something to the tone or resonance or the polarity somehow,” and while we’re not entirely sold on that notion, it’s still a very, very eye-catching look for a Strat.
