Fender ® Showmaster® Qbt SSS Rosewood

FENDER 0263180 Details ^top

The Showmaster QBT SSS guitar features a basswood body with a beautiful carved quilt bubinga top and matching painted headstock. The C-shaped maple set neck has a 15.75”-radius rosewood fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets and abalone dot inlays. The awesome tone comes from a trio of Seymour Duncan® pickups—an SSL52-1 5-2 at the neck, an SSL52-1 5-2 RWRP in the middle and an SSL52-1B 5-2 at the bridge, plus five-position switching. Other features include smoked-chrome hardware, knurled knobs, a graphite nut and a two-point synchronized tremolo bridge.
