Fender is the undisputed number one brand for electric guitars and basses.
Countless top artists, including John Mayer, Cory Wong, and Jeff Beck, love Fender instruments.
The Stratocaster model, released by Fender in 1954, debuted as a derivative of the Telecaster, the original solid-body guitar.
Its innovative design and high versatility have endeared it to countless artists, coloring the music scenes of various genres from its debut to the present day.
It truly represents the quintessential electric guitar model.
This model is a Stratocaster from the Fender MIJ series, which underwent a complete redesign and rebranding after the discontinuation of Fender Japan.
The Hybrid II respects vintage aesthetics while possessing the capability to excel in modern ensembles.
The modern C-shaped neck features a satin finish for a contemporary feel.
Combined with the two-point tremolo, it delivers smooth playability.
Sound-wise, it offers a cohesive, refined impression.
It seems to respond well to effects and exhibits low noise.
It employs locking tuners, enhancing tuning stability.
While locking tuners are a familiar upgrade part, it's a welcome feature that Fender, with its long history, has included them as standard equipment.
It inherits the legitimate lineage of Fender, indispensable when discussing the history of electric guitars, combining modern playability with a well-balanced tone.
