Fender does make guitars like that.
In the custom shop.
They will make anything you can dream up, not just relics.
You think those grand masters are special?
Think of something even more elaborate and the custom shop will build it.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

All you need is cash.

I have never dealt with the custom shop
So am I right in presuming if I wanted those same pickups and Tremolo , they would put them in ?

With enough cash & time, you can get "anything".
Guitars like Yuriy Shishkov Masterbuilt Pine Cone aren't available straight from the shelf - and not for mere mortal wallets.

Hmm...
HSH, shred-friendly details, bright clashing colors, and DNA inlays...
Did the maker try (and fail) to attract Steve Vai?

I remember seeing videos from that "Awesome John" years ago - it seems like he had a pink Strat with an HSH Lace Sensor set-up back then. I don't recall how I turned them up - I think he used to participate on The Gear Page and probably posted some of his own music. Looks like he got a local builder there in Turkey to build him what he wanted.
