The Fender Monster Hunter Rathalos Telecaster: A Ferocious Tribute to the King of the Skies
The Fender Monster Hunter Rathalos Telecaster is a unique collaboration model celebrating the 20th anniversary of the legendary "Monster Hunter" game series. Inspired by the iconic fire dragon Rathalos, known as the “King of the Skies,” this guitar captures the ferocious power and majestic presence of the mighty beast. With special graphics, custom pickups, and unique features, this Telecaster is a one-of-a-kind instrument that embodies both the spirit of the game and Fender's dedication to quality and craftsmanship.
Inspired Design and Distinctive Details
The Monster Hunter Rathalos Telecaster stands out with its stunning visuals, featuring Rathalos feather and flame patterns, a guild mark on the body front, and the dragon's icon on the back. The 12th fret inlay is decorated with the Rathalos emblem, making this guitar a true collector’s piece. Its satin polyester finish on an alder body, combined with a tortoiseshell pickguard and black hardware, creates a look that captures the fierce essence of Rathalos.
Powerful Monster Hunter Pickups for Rich Tone
Equipped with custom Monster Hunter Rathalos pickups, this Telecaster offers a versatile range of tones. The neck humbucker delivers warm, powerful sound, while the single-coil bridge pickup offers the bright, cutting tones characteristic of a classic Tele. Together, they produce a rich and dynamic sound that pairs perfectly with distortion pedals, allowing you to achieve everything from smooth, melodic leads to aggressive, high-gain riffs.
Authentic Fender Playability with Modern Features
The 9.5” radius “C”-shaped maple neck provides a comfortable playing experience, and the 22 medium-jumbo frets make bending and soloing effortless. The 3-saddle vintage-style strings-through-body Tele bridge with slanted brass barrel saddles ensures excellent intonation and sustain, while the vintage-style locking tuners offer superior tuning stability.
