Fender Limited Edition Channel-Bound American Professional Stratocaster | White Blonde

This Limited Edition American Professional Stratocaster stands apart with one of Fender’s rarest neck constructions: a channel-bound fingerboard. Instead of mounting a separate slab board on top, Fender routes a precise channel into the maple neck and inlays a perfectly radiused piece of rosewood, creating a seamless edge-to-edge feel that plays smoother than a traditional board. It’s a premium detail typically reserved for Custom Shop builds.

Everything else about this Strat leans into high-end refinement — premium tonewoods, a fast and comfortable neck profile, and the classic Strat versatility that works for clean, edge-of-breakup, and high-gain tones alike. The channel-bound design also gives the neck a sleek, boutique aesthetic that immediately sets it apart from standard production models.

As a limited run, this model is harder to find and highly sought after by players who want something classic but elevated, with a neck feel you simply can’t get anywhere else in the Fender lineup.

Made in the USA and built for performance.
