WHAT IS AN FSR GUITAR?
FSR stands for Factory Special Run. They can be limited editions of stock models or they can be a special run of a limited edition finish. Musical retailers have the ability of ordering from Fender a certain number of pieces in a spec of their choosing. These were limited to 250 guitars but recently it has been reported that number has been dropped to 100, The retailer will sell them to the public with the exclusivity of it being limited production run.

As well as FSR guitars Fender will from time to time issue Limited Edition guitars. I have several FSRs in my collection. Click on the badge left for a more complete list of FSR Telecasters since 2000. The list below is by no means complete but gives you some idea of the FSR models.
