Key Features:
Body and Neck:
- Body: The guitar features a select alder body, known for its balanced tone and excellent resonance. The sculpted body contours not only enhance comfort but also add to the guitar’s sleek, modern look. The Texas Tea finish gives the guitar a unique, sophisticated appearance with a subtle yet striking aesthetic.
- Neck: The quartersawn maple neck has a Modern D profile, providing a comfortable and familiar feel for players. The Ultra Satin finish on the neck ensures a smooth, fast playing experience, reducing friction and allowing for quick transitions across the fretboard.
- Fingerboard: The guitar offers a choice between an ebony or quartersawn maple fingerboard, both with a 10”-14” compound radius. This design allows for easy chording at the lower frets and precise, controlled bends higher up the neck. The medium-jumbo frets and Ultra rolled edges add to the comfort and playability, while Luminlay® side dots enhance visibility in low-light conditions. The Graph Tech® TUSQ® nut contributes to the guitar’s tuning stability and tonal clarity.
- Neck Heel: The tapered neck heel and sculpted body contours provide exceptional access to the higher frets, making it easier for players to reach those high notes.
Electronics:
- Pickups: The guitar is equipped with three Ultra II Noiseless™ Vintage Strat® single-coil pickups. These pickups deliver the iconic Stratocaster sound, ranging from clear, sparkling cleans to powerful, dynamic leads—all without the hum typically associated with single-coil pickups.
- S-1™ Switch: The patented S-1™ switch expands the tonal possibilities by unlocking additional pickup configurations, allowing for a greater range of sounds to suit any musical style.
Hardware:
- Bridge: The 2-Point American Ultra synchronized tremolo features polished stainless steel block saddles and a cold-rolled steel block, which together enhance sustain and ensure reliable tuning stability, even with extensive use of the tremolo arm.
- Tuners: Deluxe locking tuners make string changes quick and easy while maintaining tuning stability.
- Pickguard: The guitar is outfitted with a 1-ply anodized aluminum pickguard, which offers durability and a sleek, modern look.
