In positions two and four you get those iconic quack tones completely hum free.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Deep C neck with Super Natural satin finish feels like it has already been broken in.

The upgraded 2 point synchronized tremolo with cold rolled steel block gives you smooth resonant vibrato with excellent return to pitch. Deluxe locking tuners for fast reliable string changes. Bone nut for improved sustain and tuning stability. Alder body. Deluxe molded hardshell case included.
