A BLAST FROM OUR PAST.
THE LEAD II & III
Back with a vengeance from Fender’s vintage vaults, the Lead II & III cut through the noise with a unique double-cutaway shape, screaming hot pickups and electric new colors.
HOT PICKUPS
Designed for authentic Fender tone with a bit of an edge, our Player Series alnico pickups are powerful and articulate – a modern twist on our classic sound.
HARDTAIL BRIDGE WITH BLOCK SADDLES
A string-through-body hardtail bridge offers increased sustain, while six individual block saddles can be adjusted for precise intonation along each string.
SPECIAL SWITCHING
Dual toggle switches offer tonal variety – the top provides standard 3-way switching and the bottom serves unique functions on each Lead model.
