Tone

This Strat covers a lot of ground.

– Texas Special neck and middle pickups give you Strat clarity and bite

– Atomic humbucker in the bridge adds more push and drive when you need it

– Unlike a standard tone control that simply rolls off the highs, the Greasebucket circuit lets you roll back the tone without the sound getting muddy, keeping the notes clear while softening the overall character.

– 22 frets suit modern playing styles

– The action is relatively low and comfortable
