Step through time. In true Fender fashion, every detail of this superb guitar is accounted for to give you the sweetest, most authentic vintage tonality. Key to achieving its superior classic accent are the custom wound pickups. A huge amount of effort and attention has been invested in the pickups to grant them '50s bite, but with up-to-date features like hum cancelling on positions two and four thanks to a reverse wound middle pickup.

Featuring the same NOS lacquer finish as the body, there's a silky-smooth action to the neck, letting your fretting hand glide along the neck to create those '50s riffs effortlessly. Capping off the neck is a bone nut that enhances the already excellent sustain of the tonewoods and provides a sturdy anchor point for your strings.
