In 2018, Fender's Parallel Universe Collection combined the designs of its most famous guitar and bass models to craft new instruments that made a splash. Examples include the Strat - Tele Hybrid, the Whiteguard Strat, and the '51 Telecaster PJ Bass. Building on this idea, Fender presents the Alternate Reality Series. Launched at NAMM 2019, this limited - edition series mixes and matches multiple Fender design elements in one instrument. The Sixty - Six offers classic Fender tone and eye - catching classic looks. Its downsized, offset - waist Jazz Bass inspired ash body makes a bold statement. With an H - S - S pickup setup (a Player Series humbucker at the bridge and two twangy Player Series Tele single - coils in the middle and neck), it has all the tonal variety you'd desire. A vintage - style 6 - saddle synchronized tremolo bridge boosts its expressiveness. This guitar is bound to draw attention.

Using your Fender Alternate Reality Sixty - Six guitar is easy. First, plug it into your amplifier. You can adjust the master volume to control how loud the sound is, and the master tone to change the brightness of the sound. Use the 5 - way blade pickup switch to select different combinations of pickups for various tones. When you're playing, you can use the tremolo bridge to add a vibrato effect to your notes. For maintenance, keep your guitar in a dry place to prevent the wood from warping. Wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to remove fingerprints and dirt. Occasionally, you should clean the frets with a fret cleaner and polish the hardware to keep it looking shiny. When changing strings, make sure to tune the guitar slowly and carefully to avoid breaking the strings or damaging the tuners.
