Fender Jeff Beck Signature Stratocaster - Surf Green

Fender Jeff Beck Signature Stratocaster® — Surf Green, Rosewood Fingerboard

From the British Invasion to his legendary solo career, Jeff Beck has made the Stratocaster® an essential part of his sound. This signature model combines classic Strat tone with modern features tailored to Jeff Beck’s style.

Features:

·       Thinner “C” Shape Maple Neck with Contoured Heel for Easier Access to Upper Frets

·       LSR Roller Nut for Smooth Tremolo Action

·       Aged Knobs and Pickup Covers for Vintage Look

·       Includes Vintage-Style Tweed Case

Highlights:

"C" Neck profile

The neck of this instrument has a comfortable "C" profile (the shape of the neck in cross section), sculpted to impart a vintage-style playing feel from Fender’s first golden age in the 1950s and ’60s. The most prevalent neck profile shape, it’s remarkably comfortable and is ideal for all playing styles.

Hot Noiseless™ Pickups

The Jeff Beck Stratocaster’s three Hot Noiseless pickups combine warmth and punch with cutting bluesy articulation, with a screaming high-gain bridge pickup. And with Fender’s Noiseless design, the clean, full sound is free of hum.

Urethane Finish

Urethane guitar body finishes are especially strong and durable, and will hold colors with great vividness, sheen and clarity for extraordinarily long periods.

LSR Roller Nut

With the strings riding over ball bearings instead of seated in a pre-cut slot susceptible to friction binding and other possible adjustment/repair issues, an LSR roller nut is a high-performance feature that quite literally eliminates friction at the nut for improved tuning stability.

Two-Point Tremolo with Stainless Steel Block Saddles

For superior intonation, sustain, tremolo action and ease of adjustment, the Jeff Beck Stratocaster features a two-point tremolo bridge with modern stainless steel block saddles.

Contoured Neck Heel

This instrument features a contoured neck heel specially designed for maximum playing comfort. Rather than the traditional squared-off heel, it’s smoothly sculpted for comfortably easy access to the upper reaches of the fingerboard.
