Frequently Asked Questions
Josefina pickups are known for their slightly warmer, more articulate tone with a richer midrange, often favored for their vintage-correct voicing.
While Fender doesn't always guarantee long-term availability of specific colors, Desert Sand has been appearing on select models, suggesting a degree of ongoing production.
The '57 Soft 'V' is noticeably rounder and more sculpted than the flatter, slimmer profiles found on some contemporary basses; it’s a vintage-inspired feel.
