NEW YOSEMITE PICKUPS

Handcrafted in Corona, California, Yosemite single-coil pickups are specifically voiced for each instrument and position to create sonically versatile and musically useful sounds.

NEW CLASSICGEAR TUNING MACHINES

Combining vintage style with a modern 18:1 gear ratio, the ClassicGear tuning machines have smooth action and make it easier to fine-tune your instrument.

JUMBO FRETS

Jumbo frets make it easier to achieve wide, expressive bends that add your personal touch to your music.

PUSH-PULL POTENTIOMETER

The push-pull pot activates the neck pickup, letting you access neck/bridge and “all on” combinations with a simple finger flick.

SATIN-FINISHED NECK

Featuring a “Modern C”-shaped profile that works well with almost any playing style, the neck also hosts a satin finish on the back, giving it a smooth, fast playing feel.

GREASEBUCKET TONE SYSTEM

This uniquely Fender tone system lets you cut treble without losing gain or “muddying” your sound, preserving your carefully shaped tone.
