The upgraded pair of custom-wound LsL pickups have more midrange content than a standard single coil, offering a bold, percussive chop providing an ideal blend of articulation and heft. The bridge pickup has an authoritative chewy twang, very '50s-esque in its response, in part due to the hard chrome plated saddles on the Mastery bridge.

This guitar plays cleanly up the 25 1/2“ scale with a straight neck and a responsive, optimally-adjusted truss rod, and the bone nut measures 1.650” in width. The headstock has a clean waterslide decal and Fender Deluxe Kluson-style single line tuning machines.Electronics include the pair of LsL pickups, governed by a three-way selector switch and Master Volume and Tone controls.
