General

Fender's Player Stratocaster HSS is a versatile electric guitar with two Alnico single-coils pickups and a humbucker on board. The single-coils in the mid and neck positions give you authentic Strat sounds while the humbucker at the bridge delivers extra output for when you really want to rock out! This guitar is also equipped with a stable 2-point synchronised tremolo bridge that allows you to easily add vibrato effects to your playing without going out of tune.

Player Stratocaster HSS

The Player series follows on from the immensely popular Standard series and offers the same great value for money. This model even has an extra fret with 22 medium jumbo frets in all. The neck has a modern C profile and the back has been given a satin-gloss finish for a fast, smooth feel. This, along with the familiar 9.5-inch fretboard radius, gives the guitar a high level of playing comfort.

Wrote the following about Fender Player Stratocaster HSS Black MN

The first guitar was defective and replaced. The second guitar was acceptable. The Player series is fairly good value for money when there's a sale on. I'm upgrading this one with locking staggered tuners, TUSQ nut, and Wilkinson vibrato system to overcome its shortcomings.
