Alder Body
A classic Fender tonewood known for resonance, punch and clarity, alder has a balanced and lively tone with beefy mids and a robust low-end.

Maple Neck with 7.25" Radius Round-Laminate Rosewood Fingerboard and Vintage Tall Frets
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.

Early-'60s "C"-Shaped Neck
Based on an early-'60s "C” profile, this comfortably rounded "C" is slim at the nut and gradually thickens toward the 12th fret for an intuitive and inviting feel.

Vintage-Style Early-'60s Pickups
These early-'60s spec pickups capture the bright, articulate tone and glassy clarity that defined this golden era of Fender craftsmanship.

Vintage-Style Synchronized Tremolo with Bent Steel Saddles
One of our most innovative designs, this six-point tremolo offers proper intonation, full adjustability and easy access to classic vibrato sounds.

Vintage-Style Tuning Machines
These tuning machines offer the look and feel of vintage machines with a finer gear ratio and enhanced tuning stability.
