Fender Japan has just dropped its MIJ Hybrid II 2026 Collection, which is headlined by some jaw-dropping finishes.
The Japanese arm of the Big F has a history of doing things differently, as the Sakura Telecaster and Starmaster prove, but while the look here is more minimalist and understated, it isn’t without its charm.

Based on the concept of “love at first sight,” they mix old and new, with the modern edge coming from the electronics.
Hybrid II Custom Voiced single-coil pickups are included throughout the collection for “a clear and balanced tone,” with higher output to handle modern needs. The Tele features a versatile four-way pickup switch, with the option to put the two single-coils in series for punchier output. The Jazzmaster, meanwhile, gets P-90 pickups instead.
The Jazz Bass is limited to just a four-string model, arriving with a 34″ scale length, four-saddle bridge, and Hybrid II Custom Voiced Jazz Bass single-coils.
The Strat and Tele are priced at ¥176,000 (approx. $1,100) apiece, with the outlay rising to ¥185,900 (approx. $1,165) for the Jazzmaster, and ¥180,400 (approx. $1,130) for the Jazz Bass.
