Fender based the series on traditional models but gave them a much darker treatment: satin black finishes, black hardware, a black 3-ply pickguard with a red center layer, and a red metallic Fender logo on the matching black headstock. The series included Stratocaster, Telecaster, Jazzmaster and Precision Bass models. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one is serial JD20019077 and is a particularly lightweight example at only 7 lbs 13 oz.
