Fender '57 Precision, black, crafted in Japan 2004-5. It's been a hot minute since we had a suave maple board black P around here, so I'm pleased to offer up this sleek creature. The maple board looks great, and adds a little bit of extra snap and snarl to the top end of the tone too. It's a warm, round, punchy sound, with a strong fundamental note and a fast attack, with a nice little hint of brightness and bite through the treble when you dig in hard. The vintage style logo, one ply guard and classic curves look crisp and classy in a coat of black: this will do black tie jazz gigs on Friday and sweaty punk clubs on Saturday without breaking a sweat. Fun stuff.
