2015 FENDER ‘SERGIO VALLIN’ SIGNATURE IN OLYMPIC WHITE FINISH

A new silhouette with triple pickups and Latin flavor.

Electrifying Mexican quartet “Mana” is the world' biggest Latin rock band, thanks in no small part to the masterful guitar work of Sergio Vallin. Fender and Valln collaborated closely on the Sergio Vallín Signature guitar model, one of the most distinctive instruments in the Fender Artist series. With a brand-new offset body shape, tonally versatile HSS pickup layout with special switching, and other special appointments, it' a bold new Fender design loaded with pure Vallin sound, personality and playability.

description

Sergio Vallin Signature Guitar is one of two Stratocaster signatures added for 2015. Though not a classic Strat, Vallin`s signature double-cut has been listed under the Stratocaster signatures on Fender`s site. This curvaceous six-string is a solid and double-cut guitar with flat-top design and bolt-on neck construction. For 2015, Fender has assigned only two color options for this model: Olympic White and Black. Both feature glossy finish over the body and headstock, with satin finish in the back of the neck. Also, combined nickel/chrome hardware is used. On the top of the flat, asymmetrical body, Fender installs a tortoise shell pickguard (both color options feature a tortoise shell pickguard). 


Pickups department is equipped with a selection of three passive pickups (humbucker in the bridge and two singlecoils in the middle and neck positions). Master volume knob and a five-position pickup switch knob comprise the controls. Maple neck on Sergio Vallin Signature Guitar is attached to the body via a special five-bolt joint. Back of the neck is, as it`s been mentioned before, finished in satin urethane, while the top features a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with medium jumbo frets, dot inlays and 1.685" wide synthetic bone nut. To wrap the specs list, Fender has assigned a set of sealed locking tuners to this outstanding six-shooter.


Fender supplied a Gig Bag with this guitar originally, however we protect her in a custom ‘tweed’ hardshell case which is included.
