Fender Musical Instruments Corporation (FMIC) released the all-new Tash Sultana Stratocaster, which is Tash Sultana’s first artist signature model with the iconic guitar brand. Sultana has long played Fender to create their signature sound: layered loops that fuse indie with ambient rock and impressive guitar licks.
In the past five years, Sultana has rocketed to global fame, from open mic nights and busking in Melbourne to sold out shows around the world playing their hit songs Jungle, Notion, and more. Designed in collaboration with Sultana, the Stratocaster reflects their unique, multi-faceted playing style allowing for a wide range of tones and sounds.
“Fender is one of the first guitars I saved up for when I started playing and in fact is the first instrument I learned to play,” said Tash Sultana. “It’s surreal to have my own signature model now after walking through music stores as a kid seeing so many guitars I wish I could have owned. The guitar has truly become my third arm and I hope that my signature guitar with Fender sparks other guitar players to create music that inspires and allows self expression freely.”
Finished in vibrant Transparent Cherry and furnished with all-gold hardware, the Tash Sultana signature Stratocaster has good looks to match its upscale appointments. Featuring a matching painted headstock, custom “skull” neck plate and the clarity and sparkle of Yosemite single-coil Strat pickups combined with the powerful Double Tap humbucking bridge pickup, this guitar delivers a wide range of tonal options at your fingertips – a nod to Tash’s ability to create a diverse range of sounds.
The Deep “C” shape maple neck with 9.5” radius fingerboard and 22 medium jumbo frets provides comfortable modern playability while the vintage-style synchronized tremolo offers classic Strat vibrato action.
“Fender is thrilled to be partnering with Tash Sultana on their signature Stratocaster,” said Justin Norvell, EVP Fender Products. “We collaborated with Tash every step of the way to ensure their signature model has the capability to emulate the unique tones they create on stage. The pickup combination offers a wide tonal variety that lends itself to the vast tonal palette required for building complex loops just like Tash does. Tash’s unique style of playing is an inspiration for young artists everywhere to push their creative boundaries with the guitar and not be afraid to chase their dreams.”
The Tash Sultana Stratocaster is $1,099.99.
