Key Features
Product Ref: 105541
The Fender Strat-Tele Hybrid features a solid ash wood body, delivering a classic Fender ‘twang’ with sweet, airy tones. The lightweight ash provides the guitar with excellent resonance and sustain, offering firm lows, pleasing highs, and a scooped midrange. This limited edition guitar is finished in a beautiful 2-tone sunburst and a nitrocellulose lacquer, with its thin, porous, and delicate coating allowing the tonewoods to breath with their natural tonal character and resonance. The lacquer is also known to wear and age in a certain way that appeals to many players.
This stunning and unique guitar is paired with a Deep ''C'' maple neck designed for comfort and speed, delivering an incredible performance suitable for a wide variety of playing styles. Unlike other neck profiles, the deep ''C'' features more substantial shoulders which creates a more natural feel in the player's hand, perfect for chords and single notes. Mounted with a maple fingerboard, players can achieve a snappy tone with a sizzling high end and firm lows. The maple tonewood provides the Fender with a beautifully bright characteristic, tightening up the overall tones and delivering plenty of cut and bite. Using maple for both the neck and fingerboard provides players with a sharp, clear punch when the strings are hit hard, while light to medium picking brings out the subtler tones of the maple.
The limited edition Strat-Tele is equipped with three powerful Custom ’69 single-coil pickups, delivering a full, punchy tone which helped defined rock ‘n’ roll in the late 60s. Made with alnico 5 magnets and enamel-coated magnet wire, these pickups deliver beautifully warm, vintage characteristics with excellent dynamics and an enhanced focus. Period correct cloth wire and grey fibre bobbins complete its vintage feel, and the staggered pole pieces ensure the pickups deliver a balanced output. The Custom ’69 single-coils not only enhance the guitar with incredible tonal possibilities, but they work effectively with pedals as well.
Another addition to this model are the 20 narrow tall frets, which are mounted on the maple fingerboard and provide incredible comfort when performing slides. Being slightly narrower than standard medium jumbo frets, the narrow tall frets are incredibly effective for bending notes and playing chords with superb intonation.
This unique guitar is delivered in an elite moulded case, featuring body-hugging contours which holds the guitar firmly in place. TSA latches are also included for enhanced security and easy access. This durable case also features a stacking ability, for easy storage and transport.
