FENDER SAYS
The axe that started it all - this gorgeous replica is true to its school in every detail. Soft V-shaped maple neck with skunk stripe, plugged headstock, single-ply eight-hole pickguard, aged knobs and pickup covers, vintage tuners, tremolo and the tonal flexibility that would become an industry standard.
