Rated 5 out of 5

Great starter bundle

It's an entry level Made in Mexico Strat, but it's still a Fender and a great starter guitar that can be easily upgraded later, if ever wanted. This bundle has the gig bag, tuner, cord, extra strings, picks, etc, things you are going to need anyway, for less than just the guitar retails for from Fender direct. A no brainier, really, if you're serious about getting started with the electric guitar.

Guitar arrived perfectly and is a great guitar that fully meets my expectations of a quality Fender guitar.

Its versatility makes it an ideal choice for musicians across all genres, providing a professional platform for crafting your unique sound.

The Player Stratocaster Electric Guitar is a testament to Fender's innovative spirit, while still honoring its rich heritage. The power trio of Player Series single-coil pickups are crisp and articulate, offering authentic Fender tone with a contemporary edge. The "Modern C"-shaped maple neck, with its comfortable contours and smooth finish, is designed to accommodate almost any playing style.

Enhancing the guitar's playability, a 22nd medium jumbo fret has been added to the contemporary 9.5"-radius fingerboard, making it easier for you to express your musical creativity. The updated 2-point tremolo design ensures smoother travel for an enhanced playing feel, while also providing rock-solid tuning stability due to reduced friction against the posts.

Additional features of this durable and versatile electric guitar include master volume and tone controls, a 5-way pickup switch, a 3-ply pickguard, a synthetic bone nut, a dual-wing string tree, sealed tuning machines, and a four-bolt "F"-stamped neck plate.
