From sparkling cleans to growling drive, these pickups recreate coveted vintage tone. The 5-way pickup switch lets you access an array of combinations, allowing the Anniversary Player Strat to handle any style. Dial in bell-like highs, muscular mids and thick low end—it's authentic Fender tone with a contemporary edge.

Modern C Neck Profile Provides Comfort and Playability

The Modern C neck profile is ideal for almost any playing technique. Its smooth contours and satin urethane finish lend a slick, fast feel up and down the fingerboard. The 9.5" fingerboard radius and medium-jumbo frets also enhance playability for easy bending and expressive vibrato. Whether you favor wide intervallic leaps or silky legato lines, the Modern C neck allows your fretting hand to move with ease. Practice sessions, gigs and recording sessions feel more relaxed and inspired with the comfortable ergonomics.
