Coastline '63 Telecaster and Coastline '57 Stratocaster Pickups

Based on Fender’s Pure Vintage designs, Coastline ’63 Telecaster® and ’57 Stratocaster® pickups are slightly overwound to deliver enhanced Fender warmth, chime and punch.

Modern "C"-Shaped Neck with 9.5" Radius Fingerboard and Medium Jumbo Frets

The Modern "C"-shaped neck delivers a comfortable playing experience with its smooth, ergonomic profile. The 9.5”-radius fingerboard with medium jumbo frets provides fast fretting and easy playability.
