Modern "D" Neck

Slim with wide shoulders, the “Modern D” neck profile works for any style of playing. Ultra rolled fingerboard edges 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 for chording ease, becoming increasingly flatter as it nears the upper register for easy soloing.

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.

Ultra Noiseless Vintage Pickups

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

Advanced Electronics

The volume knob’s S-1 switch selects between series or parallel wiring for added tonal range, while the treble bleed circuit maintains your highs at any volume.

Locking Tuning Machines

A high-performance feature, locking tuning machines offer increased tuning stability while making string changes fast and easy.
