A Telecaster with fiery tones inspired by Rathalos power.
The Fender Monster Hunter Rathalos Telecaster electric guitar celebrates the 20th anniversary of the globally beloved Monster Hunter franchise. Inspired by the fearsome Rathalos, known as the "King of the Skies," this limited-edition Telecaster merges the iconic character's fiery essence with Fender craftsmanship. The satin-finished alder body features striking flame and feather motifs, a tortoiseshell pickguard, and black hardware, embodying the dragon's imposing presence. A Rathalos inlay graces the 12th fret, while the guild mark on the body front adds an official touch for fans. Equipped with Rathalos-designed humbucking and single-coil pickups, this guitar delivers powerful tones ideal for distortion-driven leads and tight, articulate rhythms. A custom hardshell case and certificate of authenticity further elevate this collector's item, blending visual artistry with professional-grade performance. This collaboration model is an extraordinary homage to both Monster Hunter and Fender's legacy.
Distinctive Flame And Feather Motifs For Bold Visual Impact
The Monster Hunter Rathalos Telecaster stands out with its bold visual design inspired by the fire dragon Rathalos. Its satin polyester finish in Rathalos Red showcases the intricate flame and feather motifs that wrap around the body, symbolizing the dragon's fierce nature. The tortoiseshell pickguard and black hardware amplify the rugged yet elegant aesthetic, creating a stunning visual experience from every angle. Fender has meticulously crafted this design to honor the Monster Hunter franchise while maintaining the guitar's professional-grade build quality. Beyond its striking appearance, this model's satin finish enhances resonance by allowing the wood to breathe naturally, ensuring a vibrant and dynamic tonal response. This unique blend of artistic detail and tonal quality makes the instrument a true standout.
Custom Rathalos Pickups For Powerful, Versatile Tones
This guitar's sonic power comes from its exclusive Monster Hunter Rathalos humbucking neck pickup and single-coil bridge pickup. Designed to deliver dynamic tones with a punchy low end and rich midrange, these pickups excel in high-gain settings, making them ideal for distortion-heavy leads and tight rhythms. The bridge pickup provides articulate clarity and bite, while the humbucking neck pickup adds warmth and fullness, ensuring a balanced tonal palette. A 3-position blade switch allows seamless transitions between pickups or combines their voices for layered textures. Whether you're crafting soaring melodies or aggressive riffs, the Rathalos pickups deliver the tonal range and responsiveness needed to unleash your creativity.
Premium Neck And Fingerboard For Effortless Playability
The maple neck on this limited-edition Telecaster features a satin urethane finish for a smooth, fast-playing feel. Its comfortable C-shaped profile fits naturally in the hand, providing excellent grip for both intricate lead work and extended chord progressions. The rosewood fingerboard offers a warm, organic playing surface, enhanced by the medium jumbo frets for effortless bending and precise intonation. A custom Rathalos inlay at the 12th fret adds visual intrigue while maintaining Fender's legendary craftsmanship. With a 9.5-inch radius and bone nut, this neck ensures reliable tuning stability and fluid playability, making it ideal for both studio sessions and live performances.
Custom Build For Long-Lasting Durability
Fender designed the Monster Hunter Rathalos Telecaster with premium materials and meticulous attention to detail, ensuring durability that matches its striking design. The alder body offers a robust yet lightweight construction, providing balanced resonance and tonal clarity. Vintage-style locking tuners and a 3-saddle strings-through-body Tele bridge with slanted brass barrel saddles enhance tuning stability and sustain, even during demanding performances. The included custom hardshell case protects the guitar during transport while showcasing an original collaboration badge. These thoughtful design elements ensure the instrument's longevity, making it a reliable companion for both Monster Hunter fans and professional musicians.
