Highlights

SELECT ALDER BODY WITH ULTRA CONTOURS AND SCULPTED NECK HEEL

A resonant alder body provides classic Fender tone, while the tapered neck heel allows unparalleled access to the upper registers of the fingerboard and “Ultra” sculpted rear body contours are as beautiful as they are functional.

GRAPHITE REINFORCED QUARTERSAWN MAPLE MODERN “D" PROFILE NECK WITH POSIFLEX™ SUPPORT RODS

Slim with wide shoulders, the “Modern D” neck profile works for any style of playing, while extra-strong quartersawn maple with graphite reinforcement and Posiflex™ support rods ensure unparalleled stability.

COMPOUND RADIUS EBONY OR QUARTERSAWN MAPLE FINGERBOARD, ULTRA ROLLED EDGES, LUMINLAY SIDE DOTS

Built for speed, comfort and facility, the 10”-14” compound-radius fingerboard is rounded near the nut, becoming increasingly flatter as it nears the upper register. Luminlay® glow-in the-dark side dots provide exceptional visibility even on the darkest stages while “Ultra” rolled fingerboard edges and a silky, smooth “Ultra” satin finish make the neck effortless to play.

For impeccable string-to-string balance and the finest tone, these pickups are crafted with a special array of Alnico rod magnets Alnico V magnets under the low strings pack serious punch with crisp and deep lows, while Alnico II rods under the top two strings create a sweet and complex character that cuts and snaps while never getting harsh.
