Description

The Fender Player Series Stratocaster HSH solidbody electric guitar puts a modern spin on a timeless classic. Featuring a sleek tobacco sunburst gloss finish, this Strat is ready to inspire at a moment's notice. Respecting Fender's storied heritage while embracing an innovative spirit, the Player Series humbucking pickups deliver a huge, warm tone, while the single-coil middle pickup provides the crisp articulation Stratocasters are known for.

The Modern C-shaped maple neck's ergonomic contours and smooth finish accommodate any playing style. Adding a 22nd medium-jumbo fret to the 9.5"-radius pau ferro fingerboard makes expressive playing effortless. An updated two-point tremolo bridge enables a smooth feel and rock-solid tuning stability. Master volume and tone controls, a 5-way pickup switch, 3-ply pickguard, synthetic bone nut, dual-wing string tree, sealed tuning machines and four-bolt "F"-stamped neck plate leave no doubt this Strat is the real deal.

Player Series Pickups Provide Versatile Tonal Options

The Player Series humbucking neck and bridge pickups deliver a bold, powerful tone, while the single-coil Strat middle pickup provides the bell-like chime that shaped rock and roll. Selecting different pickup combinations with the 5-way switch enables a myriad of tones from glassy cleans to roaring distortion.

Two-Point Tremolo Bridge Anchors Your Sound

The two-point tremolo bridge, with bent-steel saddles, enables smooth tremolo action and rock-solid tuning stability since there's less friction against the posts. Express yourself with subtle warbles or dramatic pitch dives while always returning to pitch.

Modern C Neck Profile Accommodates Any Playing Style

The maple neck's Modern C profile—thinner at the nut, fuller at the body—provides comfortable contours for chording, strumming or shredding. A smooth satin polyurethane back finish allows your hand to glide up and down the neck with ease.

Premium Features and Components

Premium features include: an alder body with gloss polyester finish, 9.5"-radius pau ferro fingerboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets, Fender standard cast/sealed tuning machines, synthetic bone nut and chrome hardware.

    I really like this product, I got it in the Tobacco Sunburst color. I think it has an elegant design & a great sound. It works best with a Fender Amplifier. I use it for Rock, Metal, Blues, Country, Raggae, Jazz, Pop & more. I think it's awesome. Looks & Sounds like a real Fender Stratocaster.

  • This is a fantastic guitar for a great price.

    I've been wanting something with two humbuckers that was Strat scale instead of LP scale. Along comes this baby. Beautiful guitar, really excellent craftsmanship, and the pickups, while not expensive sounding, are right on the money for what I need. Low output--these aren't hot, but more on the vintage side. I thought I would replace them, then just kept playing them, and eventually i started to really like them, so they aren't going anywhere. The thing that gets me most is the feel. This thing played like a 15 year old guitar right out of the box. The sunburst finish is gorgeous, the pau ferro board is unique looking, the neck feels smooth and fits great in the hand. No dead spots, I didn't even do anything but lower the strings a little bit with the included hex key. Also includes a hex key for the truss rod, by the way... nice touch.

  • I love this guitar..

    This guitar is fantastic! I love it. I have to make myself play my others at times (Epi. ES 335 and a acoustic). The feel of it is great and if you are like me with smallish hands, this strat with the c-shape neck is very easy to get the hang of.

  • I would buy this again, it is a great guitar.

    This guitar weighs approximately 10.25 pounds. The pickups are Fender Player Series Stratocaster pickups, so they are Fender proprietary pickups.
