The Custom Shop HandWound single-coil pickups amplify the sound to perfection. To give you that renowned sparkling Fender sound the neck and mid positions have '69 Hand Wound single-coil pickups, and a Texas Special single-coil pickup at the bridge adds a bit of power to the overall sound, making it suitable for many genres like electric blues, rock and modern country, for example. The pickup in middle position is reverse wound which gives it reversed polarity, cancelling hum in the 2nd and 4th positions. This Violin Burst Fender FMT features a two-point tremolo bridge with six block saddles for luscious variations in tone.

American Custom Series

With the American Custom series, Fender's famous Custom Shop brings legendary Stratocasters and Telecasters into the 21st Century. All of the models combine superior craftsmanship with contemporary features. Visually you are assured of getting an instrument with a striking natural wood pattern and a stunning finish. A rosewood or maple fretboard with a compound radius of 9.5 inches in the lower positions and 12 inches in the higher positions ensures comfort when playing. This also makes it easier to play chords low on the neck, while bends higher up the neck are easier to play too. Narrow jumbo frets also help you to play fast melodies with a pure tone.
