(SOLD) Fender Japan Aerodyne Stratocaster AST-65 Black 2011
Fender Aerodyne Strat, made in Japan 20110-11, black. The Aerodyne series was a smash hit for Fender Japan, offering some carved bound tops and matching headstocks on some classic Fender shapes. This one looks a treat, dressed in black: the dark rosewood board, clean chrome and cream binding really make the classic lines pop. The carved top makes for a lightweight body, which paired with the slim, satin finished neck makes for a very fast, comfy, easy playing feel. The tone on offer is a more modern, scooped take on the classic Strat-spank: heaps of chime and snap, paired with a deep, percussive low end. Very classy... your Mum will be so proud.
