Up for sale, a 2017 Fender Aerodyne HSS Medium Scale Stratocaster in showroom-clean, 100% original condition, complete with hangtags. A "Made in Japan" exclusive model not designed for export, this Strat features a shorter 24 3/4" scale, contoured neck heel, satin neck profile finish, and a 9 1/2" radius fretboard, all features engineered for lightning fast playing and easy bending.
The basswood body offers a neutral, balanced tonal profile, especially favored for high gain scenarios, and the Dragster bridge position humbucker is clear and powerful, equal parts punchy and cutting. The neck and middle position single coils offer more traditional Strat sparkle and chime, with a broad tonal palette accessible via the five-way pickup selector switch. This Aerodyne is featherweight 7lbs 2oz and professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
