The Fender Made in Japan Limited Active Modern Stratocaster HSS RW is a versatile take on a classic, built for players who want traditional Strat feel with expanded tonal range. A Stratocaster designed with modern players' needs in mind, it delivers familiar Fender character with a modern edge, thanks to its HSS pickup configuration and onboard Turbo Tone circuit. From sparkling cleans and glassy rhythms to thicker, high-output lead tones, it covers a wide range of styles, making it a strong choice for players who need flexibility without losing that recognisable Strat voice.
An alder body keeps things balanced and resonant, while the maple neck and rosewood fingerboard provide a smooth, responsive playing experience. The compound 9.5" to 14" radius feels comfortable for chords down near the nut and opens up for bends and faster playing higher up the neck. Medium jumbo frets and a modern C profile keep things fast without feeling overly slim. With a 2-point tremolo system, locking tuners, and refined Japanese build quality, it's a Strat that's ready for recording, rehearsing and performing in a range of demanding modern styles.

This Limited Active Modern Stratocaster keeps the core feel of a traditional Strat but adds features that make it far more adaptable. The alder body provides that familiar Fender balance, while the 2-Color Sunburst finish brings a timeless look that works in any setting. It's a guitar that feels instantly recognisable in your hands, yet it’s been refined to meet the needs of players who move between styles and need more from a single instrument. If you want a versatile Strat that never loses sight of its Fender heritage, this is it.
The HSS pickup setup gives you the best of both worlds. A modern modified humbucker in the bridge delivers thicker, more powerful tones for rock and heavier styles, while the vintage-style single-coils in the middle and neck positions keep that signature Strat sparkle and clarity. Whether you're playing clean chords or pushing into higher gain territory, this configuration makes it easy to switch between sounds without losing definition or character. It's a guitar that can do it all.
With the push/push master volume control, the onboard Turbo Tone circuit adds an active boost that thickens your signal and increases output. It's ideal for stepping forward in a mix, adding sustain to lead parts, or simply giving your tone more presence without relying on external pedals. This added functionality makes the guitar especially useful in live situations, where quick changes tones are essential. It's a system designed to be useful in real-world playing situations, not simply a gimmick.
The compound radius neck is designed to keep things comfortable and fluid across the entire fretboard. Chords feel natural near the nut, while the flatter upper register supports clean bends and faster playing. A 2-point deluxe tremolo offers smooth action for expressive playing, and locking tuners help keep everything stable, even with regular trem use. Combined with Fender Japan's consistently excellent build quality, this Strat is ready for rehearsals, recording, and live performance.
