The alder body of the guitar is covered with a glossy polyester lacquer. The "Soft V" profile of the maple neck offers a more rounded shape than the traditional ´50s V. The fingerboard is fitted with twenty-one Medium Jumbo frets and black position dots.
The combination of two pickups from the Fender Custom Shop, a vintage-style single-coil pickup and the full fat sound of a Twisted Tele neck pickup, gives the guitar an articulate tone with a characteristic Fender fretboard spiced with a higher output signal, allowing the instrument to find use in a wider range of musical genres. Standard controls in the form of a volume potentiometer, two tone controls and a pickup switch are complemented by the S-1 switch, the activation of which changes the pickups' out-of-phase wiring for a cool "throttled" lo-fi sound.
The strings are held in the company's tuning machines (Vintage-Style) via a faux bone fretboard and a solid cob with three chrome saddles with string attachment through the body. The stylish look of the instrument is accentuated by the logo on the headstock and the single-layer black pickguard, which also protects the guitar's lacquer from scratches.
The guitar comes in a high quality gig bag.
The Vintera series replaces the well-known Fender Classic series. It offers electric guitars and basses made in Ensenada, Mexico, that take you back to the 1950s, 1960s or 1970s. The sound, the design, the equipment - all of it is subordinated to the fact that they are authentic period copies. If you're looking for an affordable Fender guitar or bass, then there's no question.
