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.

After decades of defining rock 'n' roll, Fender continues to innovate with the Player Stratocaster Electric Guitar. This instrument, now available in a stunning 2-Color Sunburst, embodies the quintessential Fender sound, characterized by its bell-like high end, punchy mids, and robust low end. Coupled with crystal-clear articulation, the Player Stratocaster is a testament to Fender's commitment to delivering authentic sound and style.

This versatile guitar is designed to cater to your unique musical vision, capable of handling any genre with ease. It's an ideal platform for crafting your signature sound, thanks to the trio of Player Series single-coil pickups. These pickups offer crisp, articulate tones, blending Fender's classic sound with a contemporary edge.

The Player Stratocaster features a "Modern C"-shaped maple neck, designed for comfort and versatility. Its smooth finish and comfortable contours suit almost any playing style. The addition of a 22nd medium jumbo fret on the contemporary 9.5"-radius Pau Ferro fingerboard enhances your ability to express yourself musically.

The updated 2-point tremolo design ensures smoother travel for an enhanced playing feel, while providing rock-solid tuning stability due to reduced friction against the posts. Additional features include master volume and tone controls, a 5-way pickup switch, a 3-ply pickguard, synthetic bone nut, dual-wing string tree, sealed tuning machines, and a four-bolt "F"-stamped neck plate. These elements collectively affirm the Player Stratocaster's status as a genuine Fender product.

Embrace your musical potential and create something extraordinary with the Player Stratocaster Electric Guitar in 2-Color Sunburst.
