FENDER SAID (2025)
The Made in Japan Limited Hybrid II Noir range showcases a darker side to the Hybrid collection of instruments. With Black finishes paired with red accents, these models are built to stand out night after night.
The 3-ply black pickguard with a striking red centre layer, paired with the red metal logo on the headstock, creates a unique look. All metal and plastic parts are black, with a black colour Synthetic Bone nut to complete the look.
The Hybrid II Stratocaster, features an alder body, Hybrid II Custom Voiced Single Coil pickups, a two-point tremolo system with vintage-style saddles, vintage locking tuners, a Modern "C"-shaped neck with a satin finish, and a 9.5"-radius fingerboard with narrow-tall frets for smooth playability.
