A speedy 10"-14" compound-radius fingerboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets means effortless and accurate soloing, while the Ultra Noiseless Vintage pickups and advanced wiring options provide endless tonal possibilities - without hum. The sculpted rear body contours are as beautiful as they are functional and the S-1 switch adds the neck pickup in to any switch position.

Other features include sealed locking tuning machines, chrome hardware and bone nut. Includes premium molded hardshell case.

Features

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 adds the neck pickup in to any switch position, 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.
