The Made in Japan Limited Hybrid II Stratocaster Sandblast is an exclusive model available only at the Fender Official Store. It is based on the Made in Japan Hybrid II series, which combines vintage aesthetics with modern specifications suitable for various players and music genres. This model features a carefully selected ash body treated with a sandblasting process.
The sandblasting process highlights the distinctive, bold grain of the ash wood, giving it a luxurious and imposing appearance.
Equipped with Hybrid II Custom Voiced Single Coil pickups, it also features a two-point support tremolo system with vintage-style saddles.
For enhanced playability, it includes vintage locking tuners, a Modern "C" shaped neck with a satin finish, a 9.5-inch radius fretboard, and medium jumbo frets that are wider and taller than those on the standard Hybrid II series.
