Fender Richie Kotzen Stratocaster, Maple Fingerboard, Transparent Red Burst with Gigbag

The Richie Kotzen Stratocaster – Built for Brilliance and Burn

Premium Design and Eye-Catching Finish

The Richie Kotzen Stratocaster in Transparent Red Burst is a bold expression of individuality, precision, and tone. This signature model showcases a stunning figured ash top over an alder body, beautifully finished in a gloss Transparent Red Burst that highlights the wood grain and screams stage-ready elegance. The contoured body offers both visual allure and ergonomic comfort, making it a standout piece for players who want style and substance in equal measure.

Versatile and Powerful Electronics

Designed for expressive clarity and raw power, the Richie Kotzen Stratocaster is equipped with a DiMarzio Custom Single Coil in the neck position and a DiMarzio Chopper bridge pickup. This combination brings a vast tonal palette—from rich, articulate cleans to searing high-output crunch. The push-pull tone control allows you to coil-split the bridge pickup, adding an extra layer of tonal versatility right at your fingertips.

Player-Centric Neck and Fingerboard

The thick "C"-shaped maple neck paired with a maple fingerboard gives this Strat a rock-solid feel while delivering articulate attack and vibrant sustain. The satin urethane finish on the back of the neck ensures smooth movement up and down the board, perfect for fiery solos or intricate phrasing. The 12" fingerboard radius and 22 jumbo frets encourage confident bends and fast playability.

Rock-Solid Hardware for Dependable Performance

Every detail on this Strat is geared for performance, from the deluxe locking tuners that ensure tuning stability to the six-saddle vintage-style synchronized tremolo that allows expressive pitch modulation with precision. Whether you’re diving, shimmering, or subtly accenting, the trem system keeps up without losing tuning integrity.
