The CJ-290SCE jumbo cutaway projects a sound as big as Texas itself, with stylish flame maple back and sides, solid spruce top and maple neck. Player-centric features include a tortoise shell pick guard and abalone rosette design, rosewood bridge with compensated Graphtech Nubone saddle, black bridge pins with abalone dots, mother-of-pearl Fender logo headstock inlay, smaller (3 mm) dot fingerboard inlays and gold hardware. 'Under the hood' the tone will be enhanced by the scalloped X bracing, 20-fret rosewood fingerboard, dual-action truss rod and Fishman Presys pickup system with active onboard preamp, tuner, volume/tone controls and low-battery indicator light all built in!. This pre amp allows the guitar to be plugged into any of the Fender acoustic amplifier or Passport P.A. system to increase the volume while still keeping the rich tonal characteristics of the instrument 'un plugged'. Also changing the 9 volt battery is very easy due to the design that allows for the preamp to flip around for quick battery access. (many hours of battery life under normal use) No extra battery boxes or additional parts to break or lose to change the battery. For additional peace of mind, this instrument ships in a durable hard-shell carrying case.Hard-shell carrying case included to keep the bass safe when not in useSolid Sitka 'A' grade spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides are important ingredients for projection and rich tones.Solid spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides are important ingredients for projection and rich tones.Factory mounted forward strap button with internal block reinforcement keeps the guitar in proper playing position when using a strap.
