The Aerodyne Special Series offers a contemporary take on classic Fender® designs. Distinctive aerodynamic lines, custom voiced pickups, state-of-the-art hardware, dazzling finishes, and unmistakable silhouettes combine to create instruments that are pure, purposeful, instantly familiar and radically new.

The Aerodyne Special Stratocaster® HSS features a sleek new look with vibrant colors adorning the elegantly bound basswood body and the matching headcap. A modern “C” shape satin finished neck with 12” radius fingerboard ensures effortless playability, while newly designed vintage-voiced Stratocaster pickups mated to a specially voiced humbucking bridge pickup and a Babicz® Z-Series FCH-2 Point Tremolo deliver a perfect balance of high-performance and classic Fender tone.

The made-in-Japan Aerodyne Special Stratocaster® HSS inspires with futuristic style, premium appointments and exceptional tone. The bold and original designs that inspired generations live on in the Aerodyne Special series.
