The one piece maple neck features an authentic late 50s D shaped profile that feels instantly familiar and comfortable in the hand. Designed for natural fretting hand support, it encourages relaxed playing across the entire neck.

Period Correct Hardware and Vibrato

A vintage style synchronised tremolo with bent steel saddles delivers smooth pitch modulation and classic Strat shimmer, while maintaining excellent tuning response and string definition.
