This iconic instrument provides vintage-inspired style with thoroughly modern playability. Three Player Series single-coil pickups deliver classic Fender tone with more output and punch, ideal for nearly any musical genre. The modern C-shaped maple neck and 9.5" radius fretboard with 22 medium jumbo frets provide a familiar yet fast feel for effortless soloing and chord changes. An updated two-point tremolo bridge offers improved tuning stability and enhanced playing feel. Overall, the Fender Player Stratocaster Maple Fingerboard Left-Handed Electric Guitar is an inspiring, versatile and authentic-sounding instrument for creating your own signature sound.
Player Series Pickups Provide Crisp, Articulate Tone
The trio of Alnico 5 Player Series single-coil pickups provides crisp, articulate tone with more output for cutting through a mix. The neck pickup delivers warm, full lows and crystalline highs. The middle pickup produces punchy mids and a slight scoop. The bridge pickup gives you searing lead tones with solid lows. With a 5-way switch, you can access neck, neck/middle, middle, middle/bridge and bridge pickup selections for a variety of tones from glassy and chime-like to aggressive and gritty.
Modern Neck Profile and Fingerboard for Fast, Comfortable Playing
The satin-finished, maple neck has a comfortable, modern C profile and 9.5" fretboard radius for fast, easy bending and vibrato. The 22 medium jumbo frets make it simple to express yourself musically with greater accuracy and control. Left-handed players will appreciate the familiar feel, allowing an easy transition between this instrument and their other guitars.
Updated Tremolo Bridge Improves Tuning Stability
The Fender Player Stratocaster Maple Fingerboard Left-Handed Electric Guitar features an updated two-point tremolo bridge with bent-steel saddles for solid tuning stability and smooth tremolo action. The redesigned bridge reduces friction, allowing the tremolo arm to swing freely while keeping strings in tune. Play dive bombs, warbles and other tremolo techniques with confidence thanks to the enhanced design.
Additional Highlights
Other features of the Player Stratocaster for lefties includes an alder body with gloss polyester finish, synthetic bone nut, dual-wing string tree, sealed tuning machines and four-bolt neck plate.

Best sounding strat I have heard.
Through my time with this guitar, I have I very good opinion on how it sounds, how it feels, and how comfortable it is. I only need to tune it up slightly once a week. The body feels perfect while playing. The neck is nice and smooth. And the tone when playing is one of the best I have heard. I got it in tidepool, and it looks awesome. There is basically no difference between this and an American made in terms of quality

Nice color
I am used to the necks of the CV 60s Strat and PRS Custom SE 24 that this one feels a bit thick. There is a high spot on the 12th fret on the low E and a couple of tuning machines seem to be having a slight binding feel it rotates nicely then at a certain point it gets a little tight then turns nicely again. I really like the color of the guitar though.

Decent craftsmanship pretty consistent from Mexico Traditional Fender sound Great feeling neck Good looking instrument First Strat-did not like the pick up selector placement. Otherwise, pretty solid. Purchased this it for that Strat tone. I would say PRS has better quality build and built with the guitarist in mind for a guitar in this price range.

How much does this guitar weight in lbs and oz?
All guitars vary depending on the density of the wood. Manufacturers usually only spec size and type of wood. Guitars are generally between 6 and 12 lbs. They can be more. The only way to know the weight of an individual instrument is to weigh it. This will be approximately 7.5 – 9.0 lbssubmitted4 years ago

How bad is the blemish on this guitar? Can you describe?
Unfortunately, we have no way of knowing what the blemish is. However, it would only be a minor cosmetic flaw and would not effect the guitars play ability.submitted5 years ago

Does it come with a case? That applies to most guitars too. Do they all come with a case? Or is it necessary to buy a hardshell case? Thanks !
