2004 Fender Aerodyne Stratocaster AST-65 Electric Guitar Candy Apple Red w/ Hangtags, Japan CIJ
2004 Fender Aerodyne Stratocaster AST-65 Electric Guitar Candy Apple Red w/ Hangtags, Japan CIJ
Up for sale, a 2004 Fender Aerodyne Stratocaster AST-65 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with hangtags. A discontinued model, this “Crafted in Japan” Stratocaster was produced exclusively for the Japanese domestic market, featuring a gloss Candy Apple Red finish with matching headstock, satin neck finish, and cream binding on the contoured “drop top” body.
Loaded with a trio of ST-Vintage staggered pole single coil pickups, this guitar delivers an array of classic Strat tonalities easily accessible via the five-way selector switch. There’s plenty of sparkle on tap; shimmering snap at the bridge, rounder, bell-like tones at the neck, and classic Strat quack at the “in-between” positions. This Aerodyne Strat weighs 7lbs 6oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Candy Apple Red finish is abbreviated "OCR" in the Fender Japan catalog for Old Candy Apple Red, denoting a darker and more vintage-correct shade of this classic custom color than other Fender Japan offerings. There is a very faint “tan line” on the back at the treble-side waist from a removed sticker, and a few small nicks and scuffs on the body as a whole. The satin finish on the neck profile is smooth and clean.
A gigbag is included.
