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.

By MICHAEL J.

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

Over the years, the Stratocaster has become an iconic symbol of musical innovation and the Fender Player Stratocaster Electric Guitar, with its Maple Fingerboard in Buttercream, continues this legacy with exceptional sound and performance. The Player Stratocaster is engineered to deliver that quintessential Fender sound with its bell-like high end, punchy mids, and robust low end, all while ensuring crystal-clear articulation. This instrument is a testament to Fender's commitment to quality, combining authentic feel and style with the versatility required to explore any genre of music.

Crafted for musicians who demand versatility and a distinctive tone, the Player Stratocaster features a trio of Player Series single-coil pickups. These pickups offer the crisp and articulate sound that Fender is known for, now with a modern twist that adds a fresh edge to your playing. Whether you're laying down rhythm or cutting through with a solo, these pickups are responsive and dynamic.

The guitar's "Modern C"-shaped neck is a highlight, designed for comfort and performance. The smooth maple neck and fingerboard provide a sleek playing experience, suitable for a variety of playing styles. With the addition of a 22nd medium jumbo fret on the 9.5"-radius fingerboard, players can effortlessly bend notes and articulate their musical ideas with precision.

The Player Stratocaster's updated 2-point tremolo system enhances the playing experience with its smooth travel, allowing for expressive vibrato and pitch modulation while maintaining tuning stability. This is achieved through reduced friction against the tremolo posts, ensuring your performance is as stable as it is dynamic.

Attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this guitar. From the master volume and tone controls to the 5-way pickup switch that allows for intricate tonal variations. The 3-ply pickguard adds a layer of aesthetic charm while protecting the guitar's finish. The synthetic bone nut and dual-wing string tree contribute to the instrument's tuning stability, while the sealed tuning machines offer hassle-free tuning.

The four-bolt "F"-stamped neck plate is a mark of authenticity and Fender's proud heritage. This feature not only signifies the guitar's genuine pedigree but also reinforces the neck joint for sustained resonance and stability.

In summary, the Player Stratocaster Electric Guitar with Maple Fingerboard in Buttercream is a finely crafted instrument that stands as a beacon of Fender's innovative spirit. It invites players to own their tone and forge new sonic paths with confidence and style. Whether you're practicing at home, recording in the studio, or performing live, the Player Stratocaster is an excellent choice for guitarists who seek quality and versatility.
