The Fender Aerodyne Stratocaster is a Japan-built Stratocaster variant featuring a distinctive offset body binding, a slimmer, more contoured body profile than the standard Stratocaster, and a unique pickup configuration typically pairing single-coils with a bridge humbucker. Designed with a sleeker, more modern aesthetic than the vintage-styled American series, it targets players wanting a Stratocaster with a more contemporary look and added output versatility.
