Designed with passion & care
The Fender Aerodyne Special Stratocaster is built using bespoke tonewoods for a durable performance that will reward you over time and multiple uses. Constructed using basswood, the body of this guitar delivers a sturdy performance alongside a well-balanced tone with tight lows and crystal-clear highs – but where it really excels is in the midrange. Balanced beautifully by the maple neck, which brings a shimmering brightness to the mix – you’ll be able to exercise your creativity across the scale for an enhanced performance.
It's equipped with three single coil Stratocaster pickups that produce that classic Strat pluckiness and clarity with a fiery aggression when pushed hard. Any performer's dream, they are highly versatile and easily tailorable, and will allow you to find your own take on a sound that inspired a generation. With the more delicate, rounded tones on the neck to the sharp, twangy bridge and everything in between – the Aerodyne boasts a diverse tone that offers something for everyone. What’s more, it can be moulded quickly and easily via the five-Way pickup selector, master volume and two tone knobs. These extensive yet easy-to-use controls allow for a wealth of tonal options to explore.
Built for the road
The Fender Aerodyne Special Stratocaster is fully loaded with industry standard hardware that will not only guarantee a long-lasting performance, but also a comfortable one. Complete with a chrome finish that contribute to the retro, space-age aesthetic – the control knobs and tuning pegs complement the finish of the guitar whilst guaranteeing a reliable usability. What’s more, the tremolo bridge will allow you to explore your creativity to its full extent, taking your performance further.
It’s designed so that – no matter how intensive the whammy action – your guitar retains a stable tuning, so you can say goodbye to re-tuning between every song. On top of this, the bridge works in harmony with the tuning pegs and synthetic bone nut to ensure a comfortable and adjustable action of the strings is held above the maple fretboard. The comfortable playability that this provides is enhanced by the modern “C” neck design. Finished with a satin polyester gloss, this comfortably shaped neck is easily manoeuvrable and allows for pinpoint intonation every time.
