I am trying to find out the best way to purchase a Richie Kotzen Statocaster in the United States. I'm a little unsure of buying one on eBay, as I've read that some of those dealers aren't the best to deal with.

I've emailed Fender Japan, and they say they can't ship to the U.S. I also emailed Fender U.S., but I've received no reply from them.

Anyone have any ideas?? Thanks in advance for any info...

It seems those belong to the "Japan Exclusive" series, so they're not sold worldwide.
Here's one option:

Unless Fender changes its mind and decide to sell the guitar worldwide.

Of course this decision can be motivated for a variety of reasons.

Only the Tele is listed in the product's page for the moment.

The finish on the body on the Richie Kotzen white burst is cool looking ...

You can buy a Richie Kotzen loaded pickguard and pop it in an existing strat...maybe that will get you close? I don't know what other mods are on the RK strat, though.

Yep, everything is possible!

The old American Deluxe Stratocasters and Telecasters from the 1998-2010 period with the abalone-inlaid maple necks are the ideal platform for an RK-style build.
