All models receive V-Mod III pickups, revised controls and updated bridges, with details varying by instrument. The guitars keep the Professional II neck profiles and rolled fingerboard edges, while players can choose maple or rosewood without being tied to a particular colour. Left-handed Stratocaster, Telecaster, Jazz Bass and Precision Bass models are scheduled for Spring 2027; the article also highlights Telecaster and Stratocaster variants with added tonal options.
