Fender Stratocaster HRR (1990)

Brand new example of this fantastic guitar. Never gigged and probably used for a total of 30 minutes – pristine condition – as new, no scuffs or scratches. Also included Fender RAD amp 75 watt in brand new condition, and brand new hard case.

Produced from 1990 to 1995 and, as the name suggests, was a souped up version of the 50's and 60's reissue Stratocaster.
• 11 screw laminated 3-ply pickguard with 1x DiMarzio humbucker and 2x single coils.
• Maple neck with 22 fret rosewood or maple fingerboard.*
• Truss rod adjuster at nut end of neck
• Single bar string guide and locking nut.
• Floyd Rose vibrato unit.
• Basswood body
*The HRR 60's model no. 25-1000 featured a rosewood fingerboard and the HRR 50's model no. 25-1002 featured a maple fingerboard.

After the sale of Fender from CBS to the group headed by the late Bill Schultz, management began to restructure Fender to make it profitable again. In the late eighties, Fender introduced two new lines of guitars, called the HM (Heavy Metal) and the HRR (no literal translation, but the catalog indicates H stands for “history,” and a guess is the Rs stand for “Floyd Rose” and “Hot Rodded”).These new, hot-rodded Strats featured a DiMarzio humbucker with coil tapping abilities in the bridge position. After the initial release, Fender took notice that players wanted more “beefed-up” pickups in their guitars, and more Strats became available with new, hot-rodded pickup configurations. Fender offered the Japanese-built HRR ‘50s Strat (maple fingerboard) and the HRR ‘60s Strat (rosewood fingerboard) until 1995. Made in Japan, but with an American neck, body, and pickups. So, they were kind of a mystery and quite rare. There is actually a Fender USA neckplate on these guitars, but the bottom of the neck is stamped "Made in Japan". The body was basswood and the neck was Japanese because it was better than the American version! Really nice guitar
