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.

QUARTERSAWN MAPLE MODERN “D” PROFILE NECK

Slim with wide shoulders, the “Modern D” neck profile works for any style of playing, while extra-strong quartersawn maple ensures 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.

HAYMAKER™ HUMBUCKERS, ADVANCED ELECTRONICS AND S-1™ SWITCHING

Equipped with the Haymaker™ humbuckers, this calibrated set is crafted with Alnico V Bar Magnets and specialized winds for powerful, expressive and articulate tones that are full of life. The neck pickups sings and swings with a refined and vintage-inspired voice while the bridge position packs screaming hot output and palpable punch for everything from sparkling snap to rowdy crunch and incendiary leads. Our patented S-1™ switch splits the Haymaker™ humbuckers for even more tonal variety, while the treble bleed circuit maintains your highs at any volume. Alongside conventional master volume and master tone controls, you can further sculpt your tone with a carefully voiced bass cut knob.

6-SADDLE STRING-THROUGH-BODY HARDTAIL BRIDGE WITH POLISHED STAINLESS STEEL BLOCK SADDLES

This precision manufactured fixed bridge features polished stainless steel block saddles for endless sustain, precise attack and rock-solid tuning stability.

SHORT POST LOCKING TUNERS

A high-performance feature, short post locking tuning machines provide a sharper and more consistent break angle over the nut for increased sustain and enhanced tuning stability while making string changes fast and easy.
