🔥 2024 Fender Japan Hybrid II Stratocaster – Forest Blue with Serious Attitude! 🔥

This is no ordinary Strat — this 2024 Fender Japan Hybrid II Stratocaster in rich Forest Blue (Model # 5661100318) combines stunning looks, upgraded electronics, and genuine road-worn character into one killer instrument.

The deep, mesmerizing Forest Blue finish looks premium and sophisticated under lights, shifting from teal to rich oceanic tones. With moderate playwear including small dings, dents, scratches, and a small finish chip, this guitar already has authentic battle scars and that perfectly broken-in vibe players love. It looks like it’s been out making music instead of sitting in a case.

Upgraded Electronics & Tone That Delivers

This Hybrid II has been tastefully upgraded for players who want more punch and versatility:

•  Bridge Pickup: Seymour Duncan SJBJ-1b Jr. (JB Jr.) — a high-output humbucker that delivers fat, aggressive midrange, tight lows, and singing sustain with excellent clarity. It brings serious rock crunch, blistering leads, and dynamic response while cutting through the mix effortlessly. Think classic JB growl in a Strat-friendly package.

•  Tone Cap: Premium Orange Drop capacitor — smoother, more musical taper with richer harmonics and that sought-after vintage warmth when rolling off the tone knob. Cleans stay sparkly and articulate, while overdriven tones gain extra depth and sweetness.

Combined with the Hybrid II’s vintage-style neck and middle single-coils, you get incredible versatility: glassy, bell-like cleans, quacky in-between positions, and a bridge that roars with authority when you want it. Whether you’re playing funk, blues, indie, classic rock, or modern high-gain, this Strat covers it all with inspiring dynamic range and touch sensitivity.

Playability That Feels Alive

Professionally set up and dialed in by expert techs for optimal tone and playability, this guitar is ready to perform right out of the box. The maple neck (comfortable modern C-shape) and rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets glide under your hand. Action is low and fast with zero fret buzz, bends are effortless, and the vintage-style tremolo is smooth and stable. It stays perfectly in tune even with aggressive whammy use.

The moderate playwear adds to the comfort — the body feels broken-in and familiar from the first moment you pick it up. This is a true player’s guitar that encourages you to play harder and longer.

Our Guarantee  

We stand behind every guitar we sell. “Good enough” is never good enough. Every instrument is inspected, set up, and tested by multiple people immediately before shipping. We deliver the highest standard of quality and have built a reputation as a three-time NAMM Top 100 Dealer since 2009. The Dude Abides.  

Neck & Setup - (unless otherwise noted)

- Neck is perfectly straight with no truss-rod issues. 

- Intonation is spot-on.  

- Professionally set up with low action and new American-made strings.  

- All frets are dressed, leveled, crowned (if needed), and all frets on all guitars are polished to shine like new with no divots.  

Return Policy, Restocking Fees & No Tire-Kicking Policy 

We follow Reverb’s 7-day return policy. However:  

- You must notify us in writing within 3 days of delivery (per tracking) of your intent to return.  

- Original shipping and return shipping costs are not refunded unless the guitar is damaged in transit or is significantly not as described.  

- A 15% restocking fee applies to all returns for any reason other than damage in transit or significantly not as described.  

We record demo videos of every guitar before shipping to document exact condition and performance. Additional photos, measurements, or in-hand descriptions are available upon request prior to purchase.  

Minor adjustments and tweaks to a set up (for example to correct a slight buzz or truss-rod tweak) are normal after shipping due to carrier mishandling the package, climate & atmospheric changes, especially when moving from South Florida to colder or less humid environments. These slight issues do not constitute “significantly not as described.” Guitars must be returned in the exact same condition as received/advertised or additional repair/restocking fees will apply.  

We are a small family owned and run business, not a big-chain retailer. We invest significant time, money and effort into every guitar. This is a NO TIRE-KICKING shop. There is no post purchase haggling or partial refunds. If minor cosmetic marks, tiny imperfections, or the possibility of a post-shipping setup tweak makes you uncomfortable, please do not buy. Plenty of large retailers offer free trials and can absorb shipping costs—we do not.  

Payment, Shipping & International Duties  

- All items can be shipped internationally. Buyer is fully responsible for all import duties, taxes, and customs fees.  

- We accept PayPal, PayPal Credit, Affirm, and other major payment methods.  

- Most U.S. shipments are sent via UPS or FedEx with full insurance, tracking, and signature confirmation. All packages are professionally packed for maximum protection.  

International Shipping Note
