This console steel faithfully captures the finer aesthetic and tonal qualities of a vintage '50s Fender steel, featuring a basswood body and the pair of single coil pickups.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe tone is quintessential Fender single coil richness and chime, and the black bobbin pickup pair is wound similar to a Stratocaster, with identical construction save for the 8 pole design. There's a bell-like sweetness to the sound that is equal parts twang and silk, and beneath the bridge cover, a Pickup Blend wheel adjusts the balance between the two coils. This DLX8 has been professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 15-55 strings.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nSpecs:\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nScale Length: 22 1\/2“, 29 frets\u003cbr\u003e\r\nString Spacing: 2 1\/5“ at nut, 2 1\/2“ at bridge\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPeghead: “Patent #” tuner cover, Kluson-style tuning machines\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPlaying Surface: Block position markers\u003cbr\u003e\r\nControls: Volume, Tone, Pickup Blend wheel (beneath bridge cover)\u003cbr\u003e\r\nHardware: Chrome-plated flat-topped knurled knobs, control plate, bridge cover\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Serialization: “Made in Japan,” JD12-prefix serial\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe gloss Blonde finish exhibits only a couple of minor finish chips along the bass-side edges, light scuffing on top along the treble side of the strum path, and a handful of faint marks on the body as a whole.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe original black tolex hardshell case is included, along with the trio of chrome-plated telescoping legs.
