General

The Fender Player series Stratocaster is the spiritual successor to the popular Standard series. This version offers the same high level of playing comfort, excellent value for money and all the versatility of a Strat. The alder body has three newly-designed Alnico single-coil pickups fitted to give you the range of classic Fender tones you would expect and the '50s-style 'spaghetti' logo on the headstock is the icing on the cake.

Player Series: modern playing comfort

When it comes to playing comfort, the Player series guitars really live up to their name. The back of the C-profile, maple neck is sealed with satin-gloss, giving it a fast, smooth feel. The maple fretboard is high-gloss finished with a 9.5-inch radius and 22 medium jumbo frets. All of this adds up to a level of playing comfort that goes a long way to explain why Fender instruments have been so well loved for so long.

Versatility

Fender has been using alder to build guitars since 1956 and for good reason. The high density of alder delivers excellent resonance and sustain and adds brightness to the overall sound of instrument, while enhancing the upper mids. The Fender Player Stratocaster is also mounted with a stable, 2-point synchronised tremolo bridge, so you can fearlessly throw vibrato in here or there without dropping out of tune. Add three Player Series single-coil pickups and a 5-way switch to the mix and you have a versatile, dependable instrument that's ready for just about anything.
