Description

The Fender MIJ Hybrid II Stratocaster Noir Black with Bag is a Japanese built Strat designed for players who want classic Fender feel with a sleek, modern edge. Its stealthy Noir finish and refined appointments make it a striking choice for gigging guitarists, studio regulars and discerning enthusiasts who appreciate precision craftsmanship. Whether you are upgrading from your first electric or seeking a reliable main instrument, this model delivers the unmistakable Strat character with a smooth, contemporary playability that suits a wide range of styles from indie and pop to blues and modern rock.

Built in Japan to a superb standard, the Hybrid II platform blends time honoured Fender tonewoods and shapes with player friendly updates. An alder body provides a balanced, resonant core, while the comfortable Modern C maple neck and a 9.5 inch fingerboard radius promote easy chording and clean bends across the board. A two point tremolo offers a fluid vibrato feel with confident return to pitch, and the Hybrid II single coil Strat pickups are voiced for clarity and punch, handling glassy cleans, expressive edge of break up and articulate overdrive with equal poise.

For lessons, rehearsals and school performances in the UK, this Strat is an excellent step up that teachers and peripatetic tutors will recognise and trust. The comfortable neck, sensible control layout and versatile five way switching make it straightforward for developing players to explore tones required for GCSE or BTEC repertoire. Reliable tuning stability and tidy fretwork support longer practice sessions without distraction, and the included gig bag makes travel to and from school, college or sessions simpler. As a long term investment it offers lasting value, bridging the gap between a first guitar and a professional instrument that will continue to reward as your playing grows.

Features

Made in Japan craftsmanship

Built in Japan, the Hybrid II Stratocaster Noir showcases Fender’s renowned MIJ attention to detail. Precise neck fit, clean fretwork and a high quality finish combine to deliver a guitar that feels solid, inspires confidence and stands up to regular rehearsals, studio time and stage work.

Hybrid II single coil versatility

The dedicated Hybrid II Strat pickups provide the sparkle, snap and warmth players expect, with clear note definition across all five switch positions. From bright, percussive rhythm parts to singing lead tones, the set responds well to picking dynamics and pedals, making it easy to dial in sounds for multiple genres.

Modern playability with classic feel

A comfortable Modern C maple neck and a 9.5 inch fingerboard radius offer an easy playing surface for chords, riffs and expressive bends. The two point synchronized tremolo provides smooth vibrato control with a confident return to pitch, keeping performance focused and musical.

Noir aesthetic with practical protection

The sleek Noir Black finish gives this Strat a distinctive, stage ready look that pairs classic curves with a contemporary attitude. It arrives with a gig bag, providing practical protection for lessons, rehearsals and gigs while keeping the instrument light and portable for everyday use.
