Standout features that set this model apart

What makes this instrument unique is the use of sustainable Nyatoh wood—an alternative to mahogany that preserves low‑end warmth—paired with an Indian Laurel fingerboard that feels fast under the fingers. The push‑pull tone knob splits the Alnico humbucker into a single‑coil, giving instant access to both thick rhythm tones and bright lead voices without swapping guitars.

Scale & playability – comfort for every riff

The 25.5" (648 mm) scale length combined with a 9.5" (241 mm) fingerboard radius creates a sweet spot for both chording and lead work. Narrow‑tall frets and a 1.65" (42 mm) nut width enhance stability and reduce finger fatigue during long sessions.

• At 648 mm, the scale length gives that familiar Fender feel for seamless transition.
• Fingerboard Radius: 241 mm — comfortable for bends and fast runs.
• Nut Width: 42 mm — slightly slimmer for easy chord grips.

Electronics & tone shaping – dynamic versatility

The bridge houses a Fender‑designed Alnico humbucker that delivers full‑bodied crunch, while the neck features a Fender‑designed Alnico single‑coil reminiscent of a Telecaster for clear, articulate cleans. A push‑pull tone knob splits the humbucker, expanding the palette without extra pedals.

• Alnico humbucker (coil‑split) in the bridge provides powerful crunch and clear single‑coil tones.
• Neck Pickup: Alnico single‑coil (Tele style) — sparkling clean tones.
• Controls: Master volume, master tone with push‑pull, 3‑way selector — intuitive layout for on‑stage adjustments.

Hardware & construction – reliable performance

Sturdy vintage‑style synchronized tremolo bridges the gap between classic look and modern stability. The guitar uses vintage‑style tuning machines and a maple bolt‑on neck, ensuring consistent intonation and easy maintenance.

• The 6‑saddle vintage‑style tremolo offers expressive vibrato while maintaining solid tuning stability.
• Neck Material: Maple, "C" profile — smooth feel and strong sustain.
• Body Material: Nyatoh — sustainable wood with rich midrange.

Who is it for

Designed for gig‑ready players who need a single guitar that can cover clean‑tone pop, vintage‑style blues, and high‑gain rock without swapping gear. The instrument suits intermediate performers looking for a reliable workhorse, as well as seasoned musicians seeking an affordable backup that doesn’t compromise tone.
