Highlights:

ASH BODY
Classic Fender tonewoods known for exceptional resonance and clarity, alder delivers balanced tone with beefy mids and robust low-end, while ash provides enhanced punch and brightness with prominent grain patterns, offering versatile tonal options for diverse musical styles.

MAPLE NECK WITH 7.25" RADIUS ROUND-LAMINATED ROSEWOOD FINGERBOARD AND VINTAGE TALL FRETS
The 7.25” radius fingerboard provides vintage comfort and feel, while vintage-tall frets provide slightly more height than vintage for big bends and wide vibrato.

MID '60S "C"-SHAPED NECK
This classic '60s shape is comfortably rounded and starts off slim at the nut, thickening moderately toward the 12th fret.

VINTAGE-STYLE MID ‘60S PICKUPS
