Here’s an exceptional and rare offering — a 1993 Fender USA Ultra Stratocaster in Crimson Burst, featuring a stunning flame maple top and rear. This is a lighter shade of Crimson Burst, making it quite a rare and striking example of this finish. The guitar is all original and comes with the original case and full case candy, including the Trendsetter (also included). Additionally, a traditional claw setup has been added for a more vintage-style vibe. This Strat is in near mint condition, showing only the slightest signs of wear, which is typical for a guitar that’s been well cared for since its 1993 debut. It has had one smoke-free owner from new and has never been gigged.
This one-owner instrument was purchased new in 1993 and has been meticulously kept ever since. It remains all original, aside from the traditional claw setup addition and the inclusion of the Trendsetter for those who prefer a more modern setup. The flame maple top is nothing short of stunning, with deep, vibrant figuring that catches the light in the most amazing way. The rear of the guitar features matching flame maple, making it a true visual standout.
The neck features a comfortable C-shape profile with a 12-inch radius and a 1.650” nut width, making it both ergonomic and comfortable for players of various styles. The neck is made of maple with a rosewood super dark fretboard, which provides a smooth, fast playing surface. The frets are medium-jumbo size, measuring .090" x .055", and are in excellent condition with minimal wear, offering smooth playability up and down the neck. The truss rod is tight and works perfectly, allowing for easy adjustments if needed. It’s also important to note that this guitar is free from cracks, repairs, or any structural issues, making it an all-original, solid piece.
The traditional claw setup gives it a vintage feel, while the Trendsetter is perfect for modern players looking to push their tone further.
The pickups are Fender's original USA Ultra single-coil pickups, offering an incredible range of tones from bell-like clean sounds to gritty overdrives. The guitar remains fully stock, with all original hardware, including the two-point synchronized tremolo bridge and locking tuners. The electronics are all in great condition and function as they should, offering a range of classic Strat tones.
Condition-wise, it’s near mint, showing only light signs of play wear. There are only minimal surface marks and faint swirling — typical for a guitar of this age that has been gently played. There are no dings, dents, or buckle rash to report. The hardware shows some light aging, but overall, it remains clean and well-preserved. I’d rate it at 9.8/10 for condition.
Tonally, this Ultra Stratocaster excels. The pickups deliver crisp, clear tones, with plenty of warmth and depth. The traditional claw setup adds a vintage character to the sound, while the Trendsetter gives you modern options, offering excellent tonal flexibility. The lighter Crimson Burst finish looks fantastic under stage lights or in the studio, offering a unique and eye-catching vibe.
Set up with 9-42s, this Strat plays like a dream — smooth, fast, and effortless. It’s the perfect balance between vintage-inspired feel and modern playability.
