Influenced by the Summer of Love and the Flower Power movement of 1967—both of which had a huge impact on fashion worldwide—Fender released the Blue Flower and Paisley Telecaster® models. With their bold, fully wrapped bodies, these guitars had a look unlike anything seen before and became especially popular among rockabilly and country-western players. Even after they were discontinued, they were reissued many times. Now, these iconic instruments—each holding a special place in Fender’s history—are being revived as 2025 limited-edition, Made in Japan models.

The Made in Japan Limited Stratocaster® Paisley features a glossy alder body wrapped in classic Paisley-patterned film. Its 1969 “U”-shaped maple neck with a 7.25" radius and 21 vintage-style frets delivers an authentically retro playing feel true to the original era. The Black Paisley model adds a unique twist with a black-burst outer edge, giving it a one-of-a-kind appearance.

This product is a limited production model for 2025.
