Fender Pawn Shop Super-Sonic Electric Guitar Sunfire Orange Flake Rosewood Fingerboard

With a few modern touches, the Pawn Shop Super-Sonic model resurrects an unusual, short-lived and increasingly collectible ancestor of the late 1990s, the Squier Vista Series Super-Sonic guitar. Very little about the Pawn Shop Super-Sonic isn't highly distinctive--from its diminutive offset "reverse" body (resembling an upside-down Jazzmaster or Jaguar) and upside-down headstock to its short scale (24") and dual canted Atomic humbucking pickups (only the bridge pickup was canted on the original Squier models). Then there are the controls--neck pickup volume and bridge pickup volume only (no tone control), which are reverse-wired like the Squier original, meaning that the bridge pickup volume is the one closest to the bridge and the neck pickup volume is the one farthest from it.Other features include a "C"-shaped maple neck with "bullet"-style truss rod, 9.5"-radius rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets, three-way toggle pickup switching and dual Jazz Bass control knobs, three-ply parchment pickguard, vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge, vintage-style tuners and new Super-Sonic four-bolt neck plate.Diminutive offset "reverse" bodyUpside-down headstockShort scale (24")Dual canted Atomic humbucking pickupsNeck pickup volume and bridge pickup volume only"C"-shaped maple neck"Bullet"-style truss rod9.5"-radius rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo fretsThree-way toggle pickup switchingJazz Bass control knobThree-ply parchment pickguardVintage-style synchronized tremolo bridgeVintage-style tunersSuper-Sonic four-bolt neck plateIncludes gig bag
