The Fender Made in Japan Limited Hybrid II Stratocaster Noir RW is a sleek and moody take on a classic built for players who like their instruments to carry a bit of attitude. Its satin black alder body is matched with a 3-ply black pickguard featuring a striking red centre layer while the bold red headstock logo adds just the right amount of contrast. Every detail has been considered with all-black plastics hardware finished in black nickel and even a black synthetic bone nut to tie it all together. Its a dark and stylish Stratocaster that looks as sharp as it sounds. Under the hood the Noir Strat delivers everything youd expect from the Hybrid II series. Three Custom Voiced Single Coil pickups serve up that unmistakable Strat sparkle with a bit of extra bite giving you versatile tones that can handle everything from glassy cleans to gritty driven sounds. A Modern “C” maple neck with a satin finish feels smooth and fast while the rosewood fingerboard with narrow-tall frets keeps bends and chords comfortable. Add in a two-point tremolo with vintage-style saddles and vintage locking tuners for tuning stability and expressive play and youve got a Strat thats built to perform.
