HIGHLIGHTS:
MODERN “C” NECK PROFILE WITH 9.5“-RADIUS FINGERBOARD AND ROLLED EDGES
This neck is designed for supremely comfortable performance, with a silky-smooth satin back and our Modern “C”-profile. The 9.5”-radius fingerboard facilitates fluid leads and choke free bends, while the hand-rolled fingerboard edges provide a broken-in feel that’s incredibly inviting.
NEW PLAYER II MODIFIED HUMBUCKER AND NOISELESS™ STRAT® PICKUPS
The Player II Modified humbucker is powerful and articulate while the noiseless™ pickups deliver chiming, sparkly Strat® tones. These pickups are perfect for any performance, sound great with gain and give players an expansive range of tonal options.
UPGRADED ELECTRONICS
A push-pull switch on the second tone control splits the humbucker for classic Strat® single-coil bridge tones. The treble bleed circuit retains natural high-end when rolling off the volume, preserving sparkly cleans and chime-y edge-of-breakup tones.
2-POINT SYNCHRONIZED TREMOLO WITH BLOCK STEEL SADDLES AND CHAMFERED TREMOLO BLOCK
A two-point tremolo bridge with 6 block steel saddles provides superior intonation, sustain, tuning stability and ease of adjustment. The upgraded chamfered tremolo block has been modified to enable a wider range of travel compared to a standard tremolo block, allowing players to coax even more expressive, musical vibrato from their instrument.
SHORT POST LOCKING TUNING MACHINES
Short post locking tuning machines provide a sharper, more consistent break angle over the nut for increased sustain and enhanced tuning stability while making string changes fast and easy.
TUSQ® NUT AND MODERN STRING TREE
The Graph Tech® TUSQ® nut provides unparalleled tuning stability, especially with heavy tremolo use, and produces more harmonics in the mid and upper range. The modern string tree provides a smooth travel surface for the strings, preventing hang ups and keeping tuning stable during the most demanding performances.
