No, I don't believe they do, but the Custom Shop could re-finish it in that color.

The Classic Series 50s Strat is currently available in Fiesta Red. See this page, right here on the Fender website:

No issue - there's a lot of pages of product there!

For that matter, Fiesta Red 57 and 62 Reissue Strats seem to a permanent feature of the Fender Japan catalogue. Another way to go...

MIJ 57 Fiesta Red, single-ply pickguard, maple fingerboard;
MIJ 62 Fiesta Red, three-ply pickguard, rosewood fingerboard.

Usefully, Japan offers both of those guitars with nearly as many color options for left-handers…

Far as I can see, the 57 is the same specs as the Mexican Classic 50s Series, ‘cept a basswood instead of alder body. Can’t find out the lacquer on the MIJ bodies: polyester on the MIMs. Some people would argue the MIJ might offer better build quality than the MIM for more money - some would say not.

That 62 is a color-spec combination not available elsewhere.

As to sourcing MIJs: well, I am in the UK. Here, most Fender dealers display Japanese Fenders alongside their American, Mexican and Korean offerings, and will order models not in stock. In addition, we have online specialists who order from Japan and sell direct to the customer. For example, the Japanese Guitar Emporium is a side line of Charlie Chandler’s Guitar Experience:

I’d be amazed if there aren’t folks offering similar services in North America, probably with the benefit of much lower import taxes…
