Features :
V-Mod Pickups
V-Mod Stratocaster pickups are designed using a proprietary blend of alnico magnet types for the neck and middle of the pickups. Each pickup is specifically designed for its position, creating the high-output tone with vintage warmth and crisp, clear sound that has made Fender legendary.
New deep “C” neck profile
Designed for comfort and speed, the new American professional "Deep C" shaft profile offers thicker shoulders, somewhere between a modern "C" shaped profile and a "U" profile. The increased mass and modified geometry create a more natural feel that is perfect for playing chords and single notes.
Narrow and tall frets
The narrow, tall frets are taller and narrower than their mid-sized cousins, making them especially effective for bending notes and playing chords along the neck with perfect intonation.
Pop-In Tremolo Arm
The new pop-up tremolo arm stays securely in place no matter how hard you play. Arm tension can also be adjusted for a seamless, integrated feel that matches any player's preferences.
Treble Bleed Tour
The TREBLE BLEED circuit maintains high frequencies as you turn the volume knob down to reduce gain and let your sound pass through, no matter where the instrument's volume is set.
New hard case
The Elite Molded Case features form-fitting contours to protect your favorite instrument, TSA latches for added security, and nested stacking capability for easy storage and safe transportation.
