This iteration of the Fender Player Stratocaster sports the classic three single-coil pickup configuration along with all the traditional features that have made the Stratocaster such a long-lasting, well loved electric guitar after all these years.

Flame Maple Top
New Player Series Single-Coil Pickups
5-Way Pickup Switching
Synchronised Tremolo Bridge with Bent Steel Saddles
Modern “C” Shape Maple Neck
9.5” Radius Maple Fretboard
Classic Fender Strat Design
Noted for its bright, balanced and resonant tone, pronounced upper midrange, fantastic sustain and sharp attack, Alder has long been a favourite body wood for Fender guitars and is used here on the Fender Player Stratocaster.
The double cutaway design of the Fender Strat is a signature of aspect of the iconic Stratocaster body profile and allows for easy reach of the higher frets; essential for high-reaching guitar solos and other adventurous forms of playing.
Making the Fender Stratocaster Plus Top look even better is the addition of a Flame Maple top that shows up beautifully with the Aged Cherry Burst finish.
Satin Finished, Comfortable Neck
Attached to the body with a sturdy 4-bolt neck plate that features a great looking stamped “F” logo is a 25.5” scale Maple neck.
With its modern “C” shape and satin finish on the back, this neck is extremely comfortable to play.
Atop the neck is a Maple fretboard with a modern 9.5” radius holding 22 medium jumbo frets for great all-round playability.
Quality Hardware
On the body of the Fender Player Stratocaster is a 2-point synchronised tremolo bridge with bent steel saddles allowing for great whammy-bar action while providing great intonation.
Up on the headstock are standard cast sealed tuning machines giving you speedy, precise and secure tuning of your strings while the synthetic bone nut prevents binding of the strings while offering great sustain.
New Pickups with Versatile Switching
Giving the Fender Player Stratocaster its incredible voice is a set of three New Player Series Single-Coil pickups.
A five-position blade allows you to select how you want to use the SSS pickup configuration:
Position 1. Bridge Pickup
Position 2. Bridge and Middle Pickup
Position 3. Middle Pickup
Position 4. Middle and Neck Pickup
Position 5. Neck Pickup
For further shaping of your sonic output there’s a Master Volume knob and two Tone knobs; one for the neck and middle pickups and the other for the bridge pickup.
