Natural tones
The Fender Custom Shop Pino Palladino Signature P Bass is built using carefully selected, industry standard tonewoods, this instrument provides a glorious natural sound. Every element of a Custom Shop instrument is carefully selected to ensure playing perfection - and the wood used to build this one is one of the most important ingredients in the sonic recipe.

The neck is made from quartersawn maple, delivering a sturdy performance that will withstand even the most intense sessions.

The fingerboard is built using rosewood, which provides a supremely comfortable playing feel that softens the sound and delivers a balanced performance.
