Description
The Fender MIJ Limited Monster Hunter Rathalos Telecaster is a unique collaboration between Fender and the legendary Monster Hunter game series, celebrating its 20th anniversary. Inspired by Rathalos, the fearsome fire-breathing dragon known as the "King of the Skies," this limited-edition Telecaster captures the creature's commanding presence with its bold aesthetic and roaring tone.
Monster Hunter, a game where players hunt massive beasts in vast environments, has become a cultural phenomenon, and Rathalos stands as one of its most iconic creatures. The appearance of this guitar reflects the dragon's power, from its Rathalos Red finish to the intricate flame and feather motifs across the body. Additionally, the beast's emblem is showcased on the back of the body and at the 12th fret, establishing the Rathalos Telecaster as an eye-catching collector's item.
Guitarists who prefer fiercer, more aggressive tones will love this model's signature Rathalos pickups. The neck humbucker lashes out with a full-bodied growl, while the single-coil has a brighter, gnarlier sound that's perfect for lead lines and solos. Both pickups are designed to work great with distortion and fuzz pedals, guaranteeing you'll be able to crank up the heat in any performance setting.
Crafted with comfort and playability in mind, the Rathalos Telecaster features a maple neck with a satin urethane finish and a modern "C" profile, making it easy to move between chords and solos. The 9.5"-radius rosewood fingerboard boasts 22 medium jumbo frets for smooth playability, while vintage-style locking tuners and a bone nut help keep your tuning stable, even through the most intense playing sessions.
From its distinctive design to its powerful tone, the Fender MIJ Limited Monster Hunter Rathalos Telecaster is a guitar that'll stand out in any collection. With only a limited number available, it's a rare opportunity for fans of both Monster Hunter and Fender to own a truly one-of-a-kind instrument.
