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. 1-PIECE MAPLE NECK WITH 7.25”-RADIUS MAPLE FINGERBOARD AND 21 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. LATE ‘50S “D” SHAPED NECK This unique '50s shape has slightly wider shoulders and starts off slim at the nut, thickening moderately toward the 12th fret. VINTAGE-STYLE LATE ‘50S PICKUPS These vintage-style late ‘50s spec pickups are full of the woody warmth and bell-like, crystalline tone that made Fender instruments famous. 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.
