Exclusive Fender Floating Tremolo

the smoothest tremolo action available today.

return to their exact pitch every time.It never puts a string out
of tune. |

Exclusive Fender Trem-Lok
This unique Fender feature works as an integral
part of the exclusive Fender Floating Tremolo. Its most important
benefit to the guitar player is that it eliminates the interaction
of strings during tuning.Long tune-up periods normally needed when
using a guitar with a built-in tremolo unit are eliminated. Trem-Lok
may also be used to make the tremolo unit inoperative, preventing
accidental use during a performance. Trem-Lok prevents the guitar
from going out of tune should one of the strings break.
Exclusive Fender Floating Bridge
Fender's Floating Bridge consists of a master
bridge which is adjustable in height. 0n this master bridge rest
six individual bridges,each adjustable for both string length and
string height. By utilizing these three precision adjustments the
performer is able to achieve perfect string intonation and a customized
playing action on each string. |

Exclusive Fender“Off-Set”Waist Design
Another Fender first. This distinctive design
permits the player to perform in a relaxed position. It supports
the arm in a natural position over the strings. Playing is virtually
effortless. |
Exclusive Fender Bridge-Mounted String
Mute
Another convenience available on some Fender
guitar models. Just a flip of the finger activates the string mute.
Because the picking hand is not hampered by acting as a mute,the
performer is able to play with far more freedom than ever before
and still obtain the muted effect. |

Detachable Truss-Rod
Reinforced Neck
All Fender electric guitars incorporate
this important quality feature. Because the Fender steel truss
rod is completely adjustable a player is able to maintain perfect
neck alignment. This assures optimum string height for maximum
comfort and playing ease at all times. Should the neck ever become
damaged or worn,it may be easily replaced in a matter of minutes.
Exclusive Fender Lead/Rhythm Selector Switch
Another helpful feature for the stage and
studio guitarist.The Lead/Rhythm Selector Switch is conveniently
located near the guitar neck. It lets the player pre-set the tone
and volume controls for both lead and rhythm. Then,with a touch
of the finger it is possible to make instant style changes without
the troublesome necessity of constant tone and volume adjustments.
Fender Wide-Range High-Fidelity Pickups
Unlike almost every other guitar maker,Fender
makes its own guitar pickups. For this reason,no other manufacturer
has been able to duplicate the famous“Fender Sound.”All Fender
guitar pickup designs are patented. The pickups themselves have
a wide range and produce a pure, distortion-free musical tone.
Every Fender pickup is individually hand-wound and tested. The
individual pickup pole pieces are adjusted at the factory for
optimum performance. In addition,Fender pickups are adjustable
overall and are fully grounded to prevent annoying hum and interference. |
