Revolutionary New Series from Fender
Fender Music Corporation, based in Shibuya, Tokyo, has officially announced the launch of its latest series,
Made in Japan Limited Active Modern, set to debut on July 24, 2026. This innovative range features the newly developed
SILENCOIL System, a cutting-edge active noise reduction technology designed to enhance the playing experience while maintaining the classic Fender sound.
The Fusion of Tradition and Innovation
The
Made in Japan Limited Active Modern series aims to provide modern players with a high-performance alternative that honors the traditional Fender sound. The hallmark single-coil sound, renowned for its nuance and clarity, has been preserved while incorporating the
SILENCOIL System, which effectively reduces hum interference. This new technology ensures that musicians can enjoy a silent and comfortable playing environment without sacrificing the fidelity of the original single-coil pickups.
The
SILENCOIL System is designed to maintain the sensitive attack and dimensionality of the sound while minimizing noise, providing artists with a versatile array of sonic options. Moreover, a unique
Turbo Tone clean boost function simulates the sound of increased turns in single-coil pickups, allowing for a quick transition between delicate, clear tones and powerful, robust sounds to suit a wide range of musical styles.
Unmatched Playability
The
Made in Japan Limited Active Modern series is not just about sound; it also emphasizes playability. The neck features an innovative heel cut design and a specially crafted finish that ensures smooth handling, supporting everything from low-position chord playing to high-position techniques such as bending and intricate lead work. Whether you're a seasoned player or just starting out, this series provides a uniquely comfortable playing experience.
Diverse Models and Options
The series includes four models: Telecaster®, Stratocaster®, Stratocaster® HSS, and Jazz Bass®, resulting in a total of 14 different variations. Each model showcases its individual character while catering to various performance styles. Color choices range from the sophisticated Feather Gray and the vibrant Sapphire Blue Trans to the classic 2-Color Sunburst and eye-catching Vintage Natural, concluding with the striking Black finish. This mix of traditional Fender aesthetic and contemporary design opens up a world of creative possibilities for players.
Craftsmanship at its Finest
Boasting exceptional Japanese craftsmanship, the
Made in Japan Limited Active Modern series combines precise engineering with advanced functional features. The selected alder body offers balanced sound characteristics, and the elegant binding enhances its premium look paired with a classic 4-Ply tortoiseshell pickguard. This series resonates with players seeking freedom and expressiveness in their performance.
Pricing and Availability
The series is competitively priced at 275,000 yen (including tax) for each model and will be available starting July 24, 2026, at Fender Flagship Tokyo, the official Fender online shop, and authorized Fender retailers nationwide.
