It was manufactured in 2017.\u003cbr\u003e This pen features a striking Fiesta Red color!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Hybrid 50s Stratocaster is a player-friendly instrument that harmonizes the classic look of a Fender model with modern specifications. It features a renowned alder body equipped with Vintage US pickups, a 5-way switch, a 2-point tremolo system with vintage-style saddles, a satin-finish neck, vintage locking tuners, and medium jumbo frets with a 250mm radius, providing smooth playability and feel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Since 2021, the Hybrid II Stratocaster has undergone minor changes, resulting in a more modern and user-friendly design.\u003cbr\u003e However, the Hybrid 50s Stratocaster also offers significantly better playability compared to the traditional Stratocaster, making both models equally appealing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e [Specifications Comparison]\u003cbr\u003e ■Hybrid Stratocaster (circa 2017-2020)\u003cbr\u003e Neck Shape: U Shape\u003cbr\u003e Number of Frets: 21\u003cbr\u003e • Fret Size: Medium Jumbo\u003cbr\u003e・Nut Width: 1.675″ (42.5 mm)\u003cbr\u003e・Fingerboard Radius: 9.84 (250 mm)\u003cbr\u003e・Truss rod access: Headstock\u003cbr\u003e・Pickups: Fender USA Vintage Stratocaster\u003cbr\u003e・Controls: Master Volume, Tone 1.

(Neck Pickup), Tone 2. (Bridge\/Middle Pickup)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The neck profile is slightly thicker than the Hybrid II Stratocaster, but not excessively so. However, it has a \"U\" shape with slightly thicker sides, rather than the thinner, easier-to-grip \"Modern C\" shape.\u003cbr\u003e The nut width is also slightly wider on the Hybrid Stratocaster, at approximately 42.5 mm compared to approximately 42.0 mm on the Hybrid II Stratocaster.\u003cbr\u003e The radius of the Hybrid II Stratocaster is 9.5R, but the Hybrid Stratocaster has a radius of 9.84R, making it slightly flatter.\u003cbr\u003e The Hybrid II Stratocaster has Narrow Tall frets, which are thin and tall, while the Hybrid Stratocaster has Medium Jumbo frets, which are slightly thicker.\u003cbr\u003e Also, the Hybrid Stratocaster has 21 frets, the same as the classic Fender Stratocaster.\u003cbr\u003e The Hybrid II Stratocaster features a 22-fret design with an extended fretboard. Regarding neck adjustments, while the Hybrid Stratocaster requires removing the neck from the body to adjust the truss rod (neck curvature), the Hybrid II allows adjustment directly from the headstock using an Allen wrench. Furthermore, the Hybrid Stratocaster tends to have a thicker neck resonance due to its thicker neck.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Regarding the pickups, the Hybrid Stratocaster is equipped with Fender USA Vintage Stratocaster Pickups, which are characterized by a bright, vintage-influenced tone. On the other hand, the Hybrid II employs a newly developed \"Custom Voiced Single Coil\" pickup. It has a well-balanced output, responds well to effects pedals, and has a more modern, neutral sound.\u003cbr\u003e Furthermore, regarding the tone circuit, the Hybrid Stratocaster, like the traditional classic Stratocaster, does not have a tone control on the bridge pickup, but the Hybrid II has been modified so that the tone control works on the bridge pickup as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If you prefer a thicker neck and enjoy the sharp tone of vintage-style USA-made pickups, the Hybrid Stratocaster is highly recommended.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If you want to use all 22 frets, want easy neck adjustments, and want a guitar that's easy to play and has a versatile sound that suits any genre, then the Hybrid II Stratocaster is highly recommended.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e However, the Hybrid Stratocaster is no longer in production, so the only way to find one now is to look for a used one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e We've just received a recommended used Hybrid Stratocaster! It's a 2017 model.\u003cbr\u003e There are some minor scratches throughout, small paint stains, scratches on the pickguard, small paint indentations on the body top and back from the original construction, paint thinning, and tarnishing of the parts, but none of these affect playability.\u003cbr\u003e This item has undergone full maintenance and cleaning at our shop, so it is ready to use immediately.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The frets are in good working order and have almost all of their life remaining.
