Standout Features: Authentic Late '60s Details

What makes this Stratocaster unique is the attention to vintage-correct features—like the 7.25" (184 mm) radius round-laminated rosewood fingerboard, tall vintage frets, and three carefully voiced late '60s single-coil pickups. A six-screw vintage-style synchronized tremolo with bent steel saddles gives players classic vibrato and nuanced pitch control.
