Squier by Fender is releasing a new line of Fender Special Run (FSR) guitars.  This will include limited edition colour finishes as well as limited edition pickup configurations.

We can't reveal all the details yet but stay tuned for more information!

Overview of Fender Special Run (FSR)

We understand how confusing it might be to shop for a guitar, you are overwhelmed with many acronyms and specs.  From guitar experts to budding musicians, you will come across many different models and confusing acronyms.  But, it's actually easy to understand.  A Fender Special Run, commonly known as a FSR guitar has solely to do with customization.   Not to be confused with the letters you find at the end of product names, such as HSS, HH, HSS, SSS.  These combinations have to do with pickup configuration.  For example, HSS is Humbucker, Single, Single.

Inherently, a FSR guitar is typically a customized guitar whose specs are designed to a preferred standard.

So, not only are the yet to be released Squier FSR guitars customized, but they are limited editions as well!
