fender Japan Unveils the Innovative Active Modern Series: A New Era⁤ for Iconic Guitars

fender Japan is once again ⁤leading the⁣ charge in guitar innovation with the launch of its Active Modern Series, a collection that promises to redefine‌ the ‌playing experience​ for musicians.

Introducing the Active Modern Collection

This exciting lineup features two Stratocasters, a Telecaster,‍ and a ⁢Modern Jazz bass, each equipped ​with a range of aesthetic, functional, and electronic⁢ enhancements that could‌ greatly enrich the offerings from Fender’s US division.

Turbo Tone Boost: A Game Changer

One of the standout‍ features is the Turbo Tone Boost, which can be activated via a push/push volume knob.this clever addition mimics the effect⁢ of increasing the number of⁢ windings on a single-coil pickup, providing players with enhanced tonal versatility. Additionally, the new five-bolt neck plate and neck heel design offer improved access to the upper frets, reminiscent of the American Ultra II⁣ style.

Unique Aesthetics⁤ and Features

Both the Stratocasters and Telecasters in this series come with body binding, a feature that is especially rare for Strats⁢ in Fender’s standard collection.‍ This unique touch adds a⁣ layer of ⁢sophistication,​ and fans are hopeful that similar models will soon be available in the US market.

Introducing SILENCOIL Technology

The Active Modern Series also debuts the SILENCOIL, a ⁣technology that appears to be closely related to the patent-pending Silent System found in the ​recently announced ‍Pro Classic ‍Silent series.⁤ This innovative pickup design ⁤aims to preserve the classic single-coil tone while eliminating unwanted noise. The SILENCOIL is engineered to capture the delicate nuances and clear attack characteristic of single-coil pickups, utilizing advanced wiring techniques⁤ to cancel out hum without compromising sound quality.

Extraordinary Sound Quality

According to Fender Japan, the ⁣SILENCOIL delivers a “clear and three-dimensional sound.” Its self-reliant ⁤design ensures that the noiseless benefits ⁢can be ​integrated into new pickups if the originals are replaced in the future, maintaining the integrity of the instrument’s sound.

Classic Fender Craftsmanship

The essence of‍ Fender remains intact, featuring an alder body paired with a maple neck. the electric guitars⁣ are equipped with rosewood fingerboards, 22 frets, and elegant abalone dot inlays, while the bass guitar showcases a ⁢Bluewood board with a 34″ scale length.
