Electronics to accommodate any genre

Ask any guitarist. They'll tell you that having an instrument that's flexible in what you can do with it is pretty much a must. That's exactly what the Fender Sixty-Six is. Because Fender have loaded it with the perfect balance of electronics to ensure that any genre is possible.

An Alnico 2 humbucker at the bridge position produces excellent clarity and definition. So every note you play will sizzle with sharpness and cut through the mix clearly. Combine this with a pair of Tele-style single coils in the middle and neck positions, and you've got a guitar that's capable of anything. These bring the raw, bright, punchy tones that these pickups are renowned for. And the Sixty-Six lets you change your tone to suit you. 5-way pickup switching and a tonal control will help you to easily find that sound that's just right. Don't be limited in your playing style.

Trembling tremolo

Sound that stands out. The Sixty-Six features a 6-Saddle Synchronised Tremolo - meaning you can easily apply this iconic effect to your playing. So making those solos unique won't be a problem. Scintillating pitch shifts and thrilling divebombs are made easy. Experience the best of a legendary sound that's been heard in some of the greatest music out there for decades.

Play with pace

This is a guitar that'll never restrain you. A sleek maple neck provides a tremendously smooth playing action, allowing your hand to glide freely from fret to fret without friction. This slick playability is enhanced further by the neck's gloss finish. You can play rapidly without any worries about your guitar holding you back. And a comfortable modern "C"-shaped profile means you'll have a wonderfully natural playing feel, too.
