Detail 01
Active preamp and mid boost
The volume control engages the preamp, while the tone control can add a mid boost.

Independent shopping perspective
Designed with Lincoln Brewster’s input, this Stratocaster pairs an ash body and gloss lacquer finish with a maple Soft V neck and maple fingerboard. Its three DiMarzio single-coils cover the five familiar switch positions, while the Area 61 bridge pickup adds a hotter option. The active preamp is engaged from the volume control, and the tone control supplies a mid boost for extra output or presence when shaping an amp-driven sound. A two-point tremolo completes the setup.
