Fender Aerodyne Special 100DMC Flame Amber 2006-08 Electric Guitar

This is a Fender Aerodyne Special 100DMC Electric Guitar in Flame Amber finish. Crafted in Japan between 2006-08, this guitar features a 2-piece Alder body with Maple top, Maple neck and Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include 6-point vintage-style tremolo bridge and vintage-style tuning machines. A pair of DiMarzio Heavy Drive DCS-2 single coils are fitted and wired to a 5-way pickup selector, master volume, neck tone and middle tone.

The ‘Oval’ neck profile sits comfortably in the hand, offering a tailored playing surface which enhances thumb positioning up and down the neck. The 9.84” provides maximum hand comfort for chords whilst allowing for more technically demanding playing styles. The double cutaway body design allows for unobstructed access to the higher register, whilst generous body contours provide comfort when playing in a seated position.

The trio of DiMarzio Heavy Drive DCS-2 Single-Coil pickups in this guitar provide all of the chime and articulation that made the Stratocaster a legendary instrument. Crystalline and bell-like, the pickups provide a crisp and clear tone with plenty of the spank that you would expect from a Strat. Understated lows give way to a smooth mid range and singing high frequencies that will cut through any mix, with a higher output than typical single coil pickups allowing you to really push those overdriven tones. The standard Stratocaster control layout is as functional as ever, offering comprehensive control of your sound without being intrusive.
