70TH ANNIVERSARY ULTRA HSS PICKUPS
Equipped with the 70th Anniversary Ultra Quadra Tap™ Humbucker and 70th Anniversary Ultra Noiseless™ Strat® pickups this guitar delivers an incredibly versatile range of tones. The Ultra Noiseless single-coil pickups offer pristine vintage Fender tones without hum. In conjunction with the four distinct voices of the Ultra Quadra Tap™ humbucker this calibrated set is supremely versatile and offers dynamic Fender tone that is second to none.
MODERN “D” SHAPE ROASTED MAPLE NECK
Slim with wide shoulders and “Ultra” rolled fingerboard edges, the “Modern D” neck profile works for any style of playing, while roasted maple adds sustain, resonance and resilience to changes in climate and humidity. A specially formulated neck finish combines a nitrocellulose lacquer headstock with the fluid feel of a satin nitrocellulose lacquer fingerboard and a silky, smooth hand-rubbed oil-based urethane on the back for high-performance playability.
ADVANCED ELECTRONICS
The volume knob’s S-1 switch splits the Ultra Quadra Tap™ humbucker into a powerful single-coil, while the S-1 switch on tone 1 activates the hot voicing in both humbucking and split modes. In addition, a treble bleed circuit maintains your highs at any volume.
