Not only optically, but also haptically one remained as close as possible to the model. The one-piece neck made of radially cut maple comes in the classic 1954 strong U-profile and offers full control over Bendings, while the ageing of the neck with the popular 'downplayed' feeling ensures trouble-free position changes. Last but not least, authentic lacquer scratches and cracks present the individual lacquer layers from the natural wood of the lightweight ash body to the chocolate 2-Tone Sunburst finish to the top '55 Desert Tan finish.
