• DUAL CERAMIC ZEBRA HUMBUCKING PICKUPS: For fat, high output rock tone with excellent clarity and punchy low-end, this instrument features ceramic humbucking pickups in both the bridge and neck positions
• SIX-SADDLE SYNCHRONIZED TREMOLO WITH BLOCK SADDLES: This Stratocaster features a six-saddle synchronized tremolo bridge with block saddles for superior intonation, sustain, tuning stability, tremolo action and ease of adjustment.
• MATCHING PAINTED HEADSTOCK: In addition to its many other fine features, this Stratocaster features an elegant matching painted headstock.
• JUMBO FRETS: The largest of the fret sizes, jumbo frets are tall and wide, letting you get a better grip on the strings for more control and easier bends and vibrato.
• SLIM "C"-SHAPED NECK PROFILE: This instrument features a modern neck designed for comfort and performance, with a slim "C"-shaped profile (the shape of the neck in cross section) and a smooth back finish – ideal for those who play with the thumb on the back or side of the neck.
• 12" FINGERBOARD RADIUS: This instrument features a 12” fingerboard radius—a very slight curvature that’s flatter than a vintage-style 7.25” radius and even a modern 9.5” radius. This fingerboard radius allows for low action and is especially well suited to bending notes and soloing.
