Developed by pickup master Tim Shaw, the brand-new V-Mod single-coil pickups are voiced specifically for each position, mixing alnico magnet types to produce powerful, nuanced tones with original Fender sonic DNA. Retain high end clarity when adjusting the volume controls, thanks to the new treble-bleed tone circuit that lets your tone shine through in all its glory.

"My new favorite guitar"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
This guitar came straight out of the box set up to my satisfaction. This finish is flawless. The frets are smooth and tapered nicely. The tone option are great. It just feels right in every way. I have been fortunate to have acquired a small collection of very nice guitars but this is the one I gravitate to when I want to play. I have owned a couple Strats before that for whatever reason I couldn't quite bond with. The fretboard are usually too round for my liking but the one has a very nice flattish radius and the neck fits nicely in my big hands. I always considered myself a Led Paul guy but this guitar changed that. It is now my favorite. I can't speak to manufacturer support cause I haven't used it, but all of my experiences with zZounds have been great.
