This guitar is just like a vintage Strat, except ready for today's player. It includes the following enhancements: push-push tone control activates additional pickup wiring configurations. This lets you play the neck and bridge pickups together, for example, for awesome Telecaster tones, or all three pickups together. push-push 2nd tone control activates a variable boost, powered by a 9V battery. This increases the gain considerably and lets you drive your amp harder or even play metal. The pickups are passive and work without a battery--this is like having a true-bypass boost pedal built into your guitar. vintage look locking tuners by Gotoh. bone nut 12.5" radius fingerboard easy-access truss rod adjustments thanks to the wheel near the neck pickup left hand contour near the neck heel for easier access to higher frets vintage tremolo (comes with original bar) aged knobs vintage mint pickgard awesome Tom Anderson pickups Includes Deluxe gigbag
