Fender Player Stratocaster Roasted Maple Fingerboard With Fat '50s Pickups Limited-Edition Electric Guitar in Surf Green or Red $649.99
$649.99
$809.99
Musician's Friend has the Fender Player Stratocaster Roasted Maple Fingerboard With Fat '50s Pickups Limited-Edition Electric Guitar in Surf Green or Black for $650, with free shipping and 8% Musician's Friend Rewards.
Update: no more black, but fiesta red is available at this price.
Unlike my recent post of the HSS Plus Top model (for $600), these are the traditional SSS configuration with the Fat 50's pickups, except for the tone controls. Tone 1 controls the neck and middle; tone 2 controls the bridge. The roasted neck should prevent/limit fret sprout in addition to feeling nice.
The Fat 50's pickups alone (if bought separately) retail for about $270 new.
These are Made in Mexico.

For me, the pau ferro is a feature.

I saw a surf green one and the roasted maple in store at Guitar Center and it had an almost grayish, sickly hue to it. Probably depends on the batch, but it was disappointing. Roasted maple I'm sure feels good, and the words sound good as copy — reminds me of Don Draper saying lucky strikes are "toasted" — but I think Pau Ferro looks fine on the black axe.
I updated the OP to include a link to the red. See if that works?

The link is coming up 404 and now the red model seems to have been replaced with black again. Get it together, Musician's Friend!
EDIT: Looks like they got it together and now all three colors are available. Nice!
