FACTOIDS & TRIVIA

The Skyhawk was one of the first "S-style" models to switch from ebony to rosewood fingerboards by mid 1987.  The Skyhawk shown here has the rosewood board, typical ash body, and is fitted with the optional 1st style Leo Fender Fine Tuner Vibrato and Graph-Tech locking nut.  Very few Skyhawks were fitted with this tailpiece.
