The Custom Shop version,[2] introduced in 2004, is available in Olympic White and Surf Green finishes.
The Jeff Beck model[3] features an alder body finished in polyurethane or "Thinskin" nitrocellulose lacquer, a thinner C-shape maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, 22 medium-jumbo frets, LSR Roller Nut,[4] Schaller locking machine heads (Sperzel "TrimLok" staggered on the Custom Artist version), an "American Standard" two-point-fulcrum vibrato and a contoured heel for easier access to the higher registers.
[5] Other refinements include aged plastic parts, three-ply parchment pickguard and chrome hardware.
Guitars produced before 2001 were based on the Plus Series models of 1987, featuring a deep 1950s U-shape maple neck, three-ply white pickguard, Lace Sensor "Gold" pickups in a humbucking/single-coil/single-coil configuration (two Lace Sensor single-coils in the neck and middle positions and a humbucking Lace Sensor Dually in the bridge), a "TBX" tone circuit[6] affecting the middle and bridge pickups and a mini push-push button for coil-splitting the bridge-position humbucking pickup.
These early 1990s Jeff Beck Stratocasters were finished in "Surf Green", "Vintage White", and "Midnight Purple".
