ALDER BODY
A classic Fender® tonewood known for resonance, punch and clarity. Alder has a balanced and lively tone with beefy mids and a robust low-end.

COASTLINE™ ’57 STRATOCASTER® PICKUPS AND COASTLINE™ HUMBUCKER
Based on Fender's Pure Vintage designs, Coastline '57 Stratocaster® pickups are slightly overwound to deliver enhanced Fender warmth, chime and punch. The Coastline™ humbucker adds another dimension with its full-bodied warmth and articulate response, perfect for high-gain tones while maintaining exceptional clarity.

GREASEBUCKET™ TONE SYSTEM
The uniquely engineered Greasebucket™ Tone System tames treble frequencies without sacrificing gain or adding unwanted bass, preserving carefully crafted sound. Unlike traditional tone controls, this sophisticated circuit maintains clarity and definition even when rolled back.
