Description
Straight-ahead Strat. Big bite. Fender keeps the specs stock across the board with an alder body, a Player Series single-coil in the middle, 9.5”-radius fingerboard, and two-point tremolo bridge with bent-steel saddles, updating the neck profile to a very playable “Modern C” shape and throwing a pair of rowdy Player Series humbucking pickups on the neck and bridge. Simple but full of life, this is a Stratocaster with some extra attitude.
About Fender Player Series:
Founded by Leo Fender in 1938 as Fender’s Radio Service, what is now the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation began making electric guitars and amplifiers in 1945. The rest, as they say, is history. Creator of the world’s first mass-produced, and by far most popular, solid-bodied electric, Fender is now the world’s leading guitar manufacturer.
Replacing the now-discontinued Standard series, the Fender Player Series honors the core Fender classics with quality construction, vintage-inspired finishes, select modern updates, and friendly price points that appeal to a range of aspiring and experienced players.
