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.
MAPLE NECK WITH 7.25" RADIUS ROUND-LAMINATED ROSEWOOD FINGERBOARD AND VINTAGE TALL FRETS
Maple neck with round-laminated rosewood fingerboard delivers classic Fender tone with enhanced sustain, and the 7.25" radius fingerboard provides vintage comfort and feel, while vintage-tall frets provide slightly more height than vintage for enhanced playability.
EARLY '60S "C"-SHAPED NECK
This classic '60s shape is comfortably rounded and starts off slim at the nut, thickening sharply toward the 12th fret.
VINTAGE-STYLE EARLY '60S BASS VI PICKUPS
These Jaguar-style pickups are dynamic and capable of delivering everything from beefy bass tones to screaming, overdriven guitar-like crunch - especially when used in conjunction with the "strangle switch."
VINTAGE-STYLE FLOATING TREMOLO WITH PUSH-IN TREMOLO ARM AND BASS VI MUTE
One of our most beloved designs, this "floating" tremolo with Bass VI mute offers the sound and feel of a vintage unit for classic Fender offset warble. Create effects ranging from subtle surf and expressive indie shimmer to radical shoegaze dives and glides, while the integrated mute provides additional tonal control to add a cool personal touch to your music.
VINTAGE-STYLE TUNING MACHINES
These tuning machines offer the look and feel of vintage machines with a finer gear ratio and enhanced tuning stability.
