From glassy cleans to snarling overdrive, this guitar delivers the full range of iconic Fender tones that have shaped countless hit records.

Smooth Playability With Quartersawn Maple Neck

Vintage-Style Synchronized Tremolo Bridge

The vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge allows you to add expressive embellishments to your playing. The six-saddle bridge has bent steel saddles for excellent tone transfer and tuning stability. From subtle shimmers to dive bombs, the tremolo lets you incorporate vintage Stratocaster techniques into your music.
