The Powercaster has a Jazzmaster-style body with a pickguard that sweeps like the fin of a '50s roadster. It features an Atomic humbucking pickup in the bridge position and a single-coil soapbar at the neck, combining "the girth of a humbucking bridge pickup with the edgy punch of a single-coil soapbar neck pickup," according to Fender. It has a Modern C-shaped neck, 22 medium-jumbo frets, and an Adjusto-matic bridge with stop tailpiece.
