The Fender Player Stratocaster may be Fender's entry level into their array of incredible guitars, but my oh my what a way to introduce the brand! Don't be fooled by the price, these guitars represent a lot of bang for your hard earned buck.
Using much of the same materials as their more expensive offerings the Player series are a joy to play and are 100% gig ready. Featuring a 9.5" fretboard radius, 'Modern C' neck profile which has a satin feel for comfort and speed and a two point tremolo system these classics have been revamped to suit the needs of the modern guitarist.
Equipped with Alnico V magnets, these pups have all of the vibe of a vintage instrument that hark back to a simpler time when the Beach Boys were in the charts and twitter was just a sound that birds made. In addition to this, the Player is offered in SSS, HSS and HSH variations so there's a Player Strat for every whether you're a relative novice or a seasoned professional.
Features:
A set of Player Series Alnico 5 single coil pickups
There's not a lot more unique and iconic as the sound of a Strat. Whether it's the full on cut of the bridge pickup, or the creaminess of a combination of the neck and middle positions, this can only be achieved by playing a proper bona fide Strat.
Two Point Synchronised Trem with Bent Steel Saddles
The two point system is a lovely innovation for this take on a classic design. Differing from the original six screw design, it is both more responsive and easier to adjust if needed.
22 Medium Jumbo Frets
This is another nod to the Player series' forward thinking. Gone is the traditional 21 fret neck, hello high D note!
Highlights:
- Satin Modern C neck profile. Comfortable and easy to play.
- Tradition body shape and contouring. The comfortable design that Leo Fender originally conceived.
- Bridge pickup tone control. It just makes sense to have control over this!
