Highlights

PLAYER SERIES PICKUPS

Designed for authentic Fender tone—with a bit of an edge—our Player Series pickups are crisp and articulate, a modern tweak of our classic sound.

2-POINT TREMOLO BRIDGE

This Stratocaster features a two-point tremolo bridge for smooth, superior tremolo action.

BRIDGE PICKUP TONE CONTROL

Breaking with tradition, we added a dedicated tone control for the bridge pickup, giving you more control over your sound in pickup positions one and two.

22-FRET NECK

Adding another fret extends the range, while the “Modern C”-shaped neck profile is comfortable for almost any playing style.

MORE TRADITIONAL BODY RADII

The Player Stratocaster model’s sleek curves are hand-shaped to original specifications.

“F”-STAMPED NECK PLATE

Each Player Stratocaster includes an “F”-stamped neck plate, leaving no doubt as to the instrument’s pedigree.
