The neck is constructed from Quarter Sawn Roasted Maple, boasting a "Medium V" profile with a Dark Mole Tint finish and a Rosewood Fretboard.

What really sets this particular model apart though is its inclusion of the La Raza fuzz circuit. Lopez commissioned his old Fender Custom Shop apprentice, Connor R. Moore of M.A.D, to design a ripping octave fuzz circuit that could be implemented right into the guitar itself. It has individual switches for both the octave and the fuzz and thumb dials for volume and gain so you can experiment to find just the right sound, all at your fingertips.
