The familiar Tele-derived silhouette remains, but almost every surface that meets the player has been reconsidered.
A sculpted rear neck transition and refined upper-horn relief open up the higher frets, while the neck-to-body joint is blended to remove the hard transitions that can get between the player and the instrument.
The arm contour is integrated directly into the top rather than added as an afterthought, allowing the guitar to sit naturally against the body and remain comfortable through long performances.
Even the internal geometry has a purpose, allowing the B-Bender mechanism to become part of the instrument without compromising balance, comfort or access.
Familiar in silhouette. Completely reconsidered in the hand.
