Introducing the Exclusive Made in Japan Limited Raw Ash Models from Fender Music

Fender's New Exclusive Limited Edition Models

Fender Music is set to unveil its much-anticipated Made in Japan Limited Raw Ash models on May 23, 2025, available through authorized Fender retailers. These special edition instruments are crafted with rare ash wood, highlighting its natural texture through an innovative open-pore finish that leaves the wood grain exposed. This distinctive design not only enhances the visual appeal but also adds a unique touch to the playing experience.

The lineup includes the Telecaster, Stratocaster, and Jazz Bass, each offered in three captivating colors: 3-Color Sunburst, Black, and Vintage Natural. The open-pore finish allows players to feel the characteristic wood grain while they play, adding to the overall sensory experience of the instrument.

Based on the popular Made in Japan Hybrid II series, these limited models are thoughtfully designed for musicians who prefer a diverse sound palette. The guitars and basses feature customized specifications, such as upgraded pickups and frets, enabling a wide range of tones suitable for various musical genres.

One of the standout features of these models is the lightweight open-pore body finish combined with a smoothly finished satin neck. They also include medium-jumbo frets and a modern “C” shaped maple neck with a 9.5-inch radius fingerboard, all of which contribute to exceptional playability and comfort over extended playing sessions.

Additionally, each instrument is equipped with US-made Fender pickups, delivering a rich and nuanced single-coil sound that can inspire players across all genres. The inherent versatility of these instruments makes them an excellent choice for any musician seeking to expand their tonal range.
