Up for sale, a 2021 Fender Aerodyne II HSS Medium Scale Stratocaster in near-mint condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original gigbag and 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 BB 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 II feels elegant and effortless, weighing 7lbs 6oz and professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with fresh 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
