Fender Japan AST-M SSH Aerodyne Stratocaster MIJ 2012 Old Candy Apple Red

Rare Fender Japan AST-M SSH Aerodyne Stratocaster finished in beautiful Old Candy Apple Red Metallic.

Built in Japan in 2012, the AST-M combines the sleek Aerodyne design with a unique 24.75” medium scale length, making it exceptionally comfortable and fast to play while retaining classic Fender character. Features include a basswood body, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, bound body, matching painted headstock, SSH pickup configuration, and factory synchronized tremolo.

This guitar weighs only 3.07kg (6.77 lbs) and is a great example of the high-quality craftsmanship Fender Japan is known for.

Condition is Very Good. The guitar shows honest cosmetic wear from normal use including scratches, dings, and finish marks throughout the body and headstock. Hardware shows normal age-related wear. Frets have excellent life remaining and the truss rod functions properly with no issues.

Please zoom in on all photos and judge condition for yourself, as photos form part of the description.
