Description
Fender launches one of their most well-loved guitars into the future with this new Fender Player Series Stratocaster Plus Top. This Strat is the go-to guitar for the gigging professional, featuring a gorgeous figured maple top, a wicked-fast 22-fret maple neck, and three chiming single-coil pickups.
This guitar combines traditional Fender stylings with modern appointments, giving it the perfect blend of style and comfort. With a modified body shape that's more historically accurate and a classic aged cherry finish, this beauty looks and feels like an authentic vintage Strat. Don't be fooled, though - this guitar boasts tons of upgraded performance features that make it more than capable of handling advanced techniques. From its sleek and comfortable satin-finished modern 'C' neck to its heavy-duty bent steel saddle bridge, this Strat plays fast and hard with loads of sustain. And, courtesy of its 2-piece Synchronized Tremolo, you'll be able to dive-bomb and squeal to your heart's content.
The trio of Player Series Alnico 5 single-coil pickups powering this guitar churn out a broad array of sweet, glassy Strat tones. These single-coils project accentuated highs and a tight bottom-end, making them exceptional for playing gentle rhythm riffs or blazing lead lines. If you need a little extra sonic versatility, don't worry - this guitar sports a 3-position blade switch that gives you access to three great-sounding pickup combinations. New to this Strat is an updated controls layout, where Tone 1 operates the neck and middle pickups, while Tone 2 controls the bridge pickup for maximum tone-sculpting.
A flawless blend of new and old, this Fender Player Series Stratocaster Plus Top is perfect for anyone who demands the best in style and performance from their guitars.
