FENDER SAYS
The Fender [FSR] Aerodyne Stratocaster delivers the legendary Fender tone with a modern design, thanks to its sleek black look and set of Fender single coil pickups. The basswood body delivers fat, balanced tones while its maple neck and rosewood fingerboard provide bright characteristics with a snappy punch. The vintage style tremolo, Gotoh tuners, and synthetic bone nut keep the strings stable, while offering quick string changes and incredible pitch bends. Fender Japan’s Aerodyne Stratocaster sticks to its heritage by featuring the same features that make the Stratocaster such a popular model, as well as incorporating some new and unique additions that are previously unseen on other models.
