Above it, the neck offers the strong "1954 U" profile, whose stately curve nestles comfortably in the hand and lets every lick go out of hand.

With a moderate output and six staggered Alnico pole pieces, they deliver an authentic Vintage sound that combines the typical bell-like tone development with a pleasant warmth. At the same time, the pickups convince with a lively dynamic, which Rock enables expressive guitar playing on the amplifier between Pop , blues and ... The three pickups are controlled by the proven Stratocaster circuitry with a 5-way blade switch, a master volume control and two tone controls, which can be used to recall different tones.
