Up for sale, a 2022 Fender Hybrid II Stratocaster in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This Japan-exclusive Strat is an ideal combination of classic aesthetics and modern, player-friendly features, with premium appointments including a two-point vibrato, locking tuners, USA-spec CTS pots, a satin-finished Modern C neck profile, a 22-fret maple fingerboard with a modern 9 1/2“ radius and narrow/tall fretwire, and a gloss US Blonde finish.

Weighing 7lbs 5oz, tonewoods include an ash body and a one-piece maple neck, and the Hybrid II Custom Voiced single coil pickups feature staggered, beveled alnico pole pieces, specifically voiced to accentuate the best qualities of each pickup position. The bridge is sparkling and clear with a touch of extra low end kick, the neck pickup is throaty and full, and the “in-between” positions on the five-way selector switch deliver a quintessential hollow Strat quack. This Hybrid II Stratocaster benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The translucent “US Blonde” gloss finish has a subtle lavender tint, highlighting the particularly broad grain of the ash body. There are some scattered minor marks on the body as a whole, most concentrated on the lower bout edge near the rear strap button. The fast-feeling satin finish on the neck profile is smooth and clean, with only a couple shallow marks on the shoulders.

A Fender gigbag is included.
