Fender Made in Japan Hybrid II Stratocaster Limited Run Blackout, MN

Full Description

Perfect tones with every performance

This Fender Made In Japan Stratocaster comes equipped with a trio of Hybrid II Custom pickups, which produce such beautiful harmonics that can accommodate a range of playing styles. Clarity. Sparkle. Delicate top-ends. It’s all here, and it’s clearer than ever. Every song is infused with a bright and clear sound that perfectly displays the nuance of every note. These pickups offer a great balance between lower output vintage coils and more modern, hotter pickups, as they allow you to dip into a variety of genres.

Selectable through a five-way switch, there’s plenty of textures and accents to access. From the rich, syrupy twang of the neck pickup to the bright, shimmering cut of the bridge. Using this, you can seamlessly switch between piercing leads and choppy rhythm sections at the flick of a switch, and what’s more, you can sculpt your sound further through the volume and tone controls.

Designed for excellence

Crafted from alder and maple, this MIJ Strat offers a great tone and feel. The alder has been used for the body, carefully sculpted into a comfortable Stratocaster shape, and topped with a gloss urethane finish for a smooth feel when playing. This has been paired with a maple neck and fingerboard, which provide a luxurious base for your hand to slide between frets. Not only do these materials give this guitar a standout style, but they also deliver a beautiful sound. Alder delivers a strong and full-bodied tone, whilst the maple offers a bright and unique voicing.
