NEW YOSEMITE PICKUPS
Handcrafted in Corona, California, Yosemite pickups are specifically voiced for each instrument and position to create sonically versatile and musically useful sounds.
TAPERED-SHAFT TUNING MACHINES
Featuring vintage-style paddle keys, tapered tuning machines are wider at the top than the bottom, forcing the string windings downward and keeping them tight for increased sustain and enhancing tuning stability.
MEDIUM-JUMBO FRETS
Medium-jumbo frets make it easier to achieve wide, expressive bends that add your personal touch to your music.
4-SADDLE BRIDGE
This model features a four-saddle bridge for solid tuning stability, precise intonation and increased sustain.
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.
