Up for sale, a 2015 Fender Aerodyne Stratocaster model AST in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. An uncommon and discontinued model, this “Made in Japan” Stratocaster was produced exclusively for the Japanese domestic market, featuring a Gunmetal Blue gloss finish with matching headstock and cream body binding.
Loaded with a trio of 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 Strat weighs 6lbs 15oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 11-49 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Gunmetal Blue finish is very well-kept, with cosmetic wear limited to light scuffing along the pick path (largely constrained to the guard) just a scant few faint finish scratches in the clear coat on the body as a whole. The satin finish on the neck profile is immaculate.
The original Fender-branded gigbag is included.
