The neck features a Deep C Profile, which has a nice medium size to it. The back of the neck has what Fender calls the Super Natural Finish which simulates the feel of natural wood. It's a satin urethane that is super durable yet thin.

Revamped for comfort and beauty, this bridge has trimmed edges for unfettered string access, but the picking hand. Many aftermarket companies have been trimming the edges on the bridges so it's a breath of fresh air to see Fender responding to player preferences! This bridge also allows for either Top Loader (meaning string through the back of the bridge) or Thru-Body string functionality. Top-loading reduces string tension and tapers back the twang making this Tele the perfect rock machine. Brass Bullet Saddles offers increased intonation, added comfort, and Vintage Tone. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFender keeps building guitars for players.
