HIGHLIGHTS

 
MODERN "D" NECK

Slim with wide shoulders, the “Modern D” neck profile works for any musical style and a silky, smooth Ultra satin finish make the neck effortless to play.

10”-14” COMPOUND-RADIUS

Built for speed and easy bending, the 10”-14” compound-radius fingerboard is rounded near the nut, becoming increasingly flatter as it nears the upper register.

ULTRA NOISELESS VINTAGE PICKUPS

The Ultra Noiseless™ Vintage pickups feature true classic Fender tone without hum.

ENHANCED BODY CONTOURS

The tapered neck heel allows unparalleled access to the upper registers of the fingerboard, while the sculpted rear body contour is designed for comfort.

RE-DESIGNED ACTIVE/PASSIVE PREAMP

Redesigned for more versatile tone, this preamp features sweeter highs, focused mids and more usable bass.

HIMASS™ BRIDGE

The HiMass bridge has a lot of metal—and a lot of mass—creating rock-solid sustain, intonation and tuning stability.
