Enhancing its tonal versatility, the original pickups have been replaced with premium aftermarket Van Zandt Telecaster pickups, delivering richer, more dynamic sounds tailored to elevate your musical expression.

Adding to its distinctive character, a B5 Bigsby vibrato bridge is installed, allowing fluid pitch bending and warbling that adds unique ambiance to your performances. The telecaster is legendary for it’s solid construction, contributing to enhanced sustain and resonant tones that discerning players will truly appreciate.
