Fender Aerodyne Special Stratocaster HSS, Dolphin Gray Metallic

Full Description

Modern playability

It's light, sleek, and nimble. Sporting the iconic Strat silhouette but in a slick, futuristic style, the Aerodyne is easy to wield in any situation. Combined with a modern "C" shaped neck, it offers a relaxed, comfortable feel that's effortless to play at speed on. And that's thanks to its ultra-smooth satin finish, which promotes rapid riffing up and down the fretboard.

Speaking of the fretboard, it's shaped into a 12" radius that leaves plenty of room for advanced licks and soaring pitch bends, allowing you to get extremely dynamic with your leads and solos. Hosting 22 medium jumbo sized fret wires, you'll enjoy a quick string action that completes the buttery playing feel of the Aerodyne.

Contemporary look, classic sounds

The perfect balance. A set of Aerodyne Special HSS pickups promote total tonal versatility. With a bridge mounted humbucker that roars with a modern bite, you've got ample chunky sonics to call upon for the snarling lead sections. Paired with that are dual vintage voiced Aerodyne Special single coils, it generates the unmistakable twang and cluck of those classic Fender coils.

Selectable through a five-way switch, there's a wealth of tones and textures to explore and create on the Aerodyne. And with two types of pickup that merge vintage voicings into a modern style guitar, the possibilities are endless.

Hardware you can count on

Fender style performance. With a well-earned reputation for creating stellar guitars, Fender knows how to get rock solid reliability out of their instruments. And that's why the Aerodyne sports a set of Deluxe Cast/Sealed Locking tuners to guarantee a stable tuning no matter how hard you strike the strings. Teamed to a Babicz Z-Series FCH-2 point synchronised tremolo, you'll enjoy accurate intonation and heaps of sustain in every note you play.

Completed with a chrome finish on its hardware and controls, the Aerodyne boasts a sublime aesthetic to compete with its exceptional reliability. It's time to write music that's completely unique, and the Aerodyne is just the tool to help you find that inspiration.
