Fender-quality pickups

Do you like vintage tone? The alnico single coil pickups in this guitar were designed by Fender, and offer tonnes of quality sound. With a trio at your disposal, you'll be able to change your guitar voicing up whenever you want. The bridge position pickup is bright and punchy, giving you that sparkling, vibrant tone which will make chords come to life and riffs shine. Then there's the neck pickup. Smooth and sweet, it will fatten up any note, whilst offering a decent level of sustain. And the middle pickup is the perfect balance between the two, with a twangy yet full voicing. These will help you make quality music.

Smooth playing

Luxury for your hand. The maple on maple neck and fingerboard combination really works wonders for your playing. Offering sublime smoothness, the neck will lend your hand total freedom across the entire fretboard. The 'C' profile helps it feel beautifully natural when you're holding it – this makes for comfortable manoeuvring. And the fingerboard is no different, letting your fingers slide between frets with ease. The maple wood itself adds even more brightness to your tone, letting you unleash the full potential of every note.

Vintage vibrato goodness

A bold bridge. The 6-saddle vintage-style synchronised tremolo bridge doesn't just provide strong string support. It also lets you use the whammy bar for that unmistakable vibrato effect. Make those notes wobble as much or as little as you like - you can add plenty of flair to your music this way. Complete with nickel-plated hardware, an old-school finish, and a sleek, classy pickguard, the '50s Stratocaster beams with quality – and an affordable price tag.
