Up for sale, a 2007 Fender Aerodyne Stratocaster AST in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. A discontinued model, this “Crafted in Japan” Stratocaster was produced exclusively for the Japanese domestic market, featuring a gloss Black finish with matching headstock, satin neck finish, and cream binding on the contoured “drop top” body.
Loaded with a trio of ST-Vintage staggered pole single coil pickups, this guitar delivers an array of classic Strat tonalities easily accessible via the five-way selector switch. There’s plenty of sparkle on tap; shimmering snap at the bridge, rounder, bell-like tones at the neck, and classic Strat quack at the “in-between” positions. This Aerodyne Strat weighs 7lbs 8oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
