Made in Japan, which has many fans around the world, has realized a product that combines playability and instrument tone that fits any guitarist or bassist regardless of rhythm \/ lead.  This model has not been available for sale here in the U.S., only overseas.  So it's a nice score to find one here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe satin finish neck gives you a blend of a Modern \"C\" neck shape with 9.5\" radius neck with rosewood fingerboard with vintage-style narrow frets. You will love the feel of the neck and easy playability that it provides.  By the way, this is a 22 fret guitar, giving you the added flexibility when you need it.  The alder body on this one is resonant and light - the guitar comes in at just 7.3 lbs.  Also, it's a super cool color that we've only seen out of Fender Japan, which is called U.S. Blonde. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pickups are Fender's own design, called the Hybrid II Custom Voiced Single Coil Stratocaster set.  They are very well balanced, and provide the iconic, classic Strat sound with a bit of a modern edge, giving you more output.  Staggered pole pieces smooth out the sound quite well.  These are amazing sounding pickups that work well for both rhythm and lead playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eThe tone of this Stratocaster in the bridge position is bright and clear. Combining the bridge and middle pickups in the second position produces a funky \"quacky\" sound, perfectly executed by the custom voiced pickups. The middle pickup adds a touch of warmth to the overall sound. In the fourth position, this Hybrid II model delivers a distinctive out-of-phase sound that is commonly used for a delicate, hollow tone. In the fifth position, the neck pickup produces a deep, warm, and smooth sound. Overall, the unique custom pickups in this Stratocaster deliver exceptional sound quality in all positions.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis guitar is in excellent, like-new condition and comes with a gig bag.
