Highlights:
- FLOYD ROSE TREMOLO: This model features a Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo system which allows a range of vibrato effects ? from subtle warble to wild dive bombs ? with substantially improved tuning stability.
- STAINLESS STEEL FRETS: Stainless steel frets are significantly harder and smoother than traditional nickel-silver, giving them extreme durability and a glassy playing feel that makes bending easy.
- AUGMENTED “D” NECK: The Augmented ?D? neck profile is a refined hybrid shape with slightly more body than the Modern ?D?. The profile becomes subtly fuller towards the twelfth fret, with shoulders that soften in the higher register. Ultra rolled fingerboard edges and a silky, smooth Ultra satin finish make the neck effortless to play.
- POWERFUL PICKUPS: The Ultra Noiseless Hot single-coil pickups offer modern Fender tone without hum. In conjunction with the Ultra Double Tap humbucking bridge pickup this calibrated set is supremely versatile and offers dynamic Fender tone that is second to none.
- 10?-14? COMPOUND-RADIUS: Built for speed and easy bending, the 10?-14? compound-radius fingerboard is rounded near the nut for chording, becoming increasingly flat as it nears the upper register for choke-free bending.
- ENHANCED BODY CONTOURS: The tapered neck heel allows unparalleled access to the upper registers of the fingerboard, while the sculpted rear body contour is designed for comfort.
