Fender Player Stratocaster 3-Color Sunburst
The inspiring sound of a Stratocaster is one of the foundations of Fender. Featuring this classic sound--bell-like high end, punchy mids and robust low end, combined with crystal-clear articulation--the Player Stratocaster is packed with authentic Fender feel and style. It’s ready to serve your musical vision, it’s versatile enough to handle any style of music and it’s the perfect platform for creating your own sound. Respecting Fender's heritage while maintaining their innovative spirit, the power trio of Player Series single-coil pickups are crisp and articulate--it’s authentic Fender tone with a modern edge. The “Modern C”-shaped maple neck’s comfortable contours and smooth finish are ideal for almost any playing style. By adding a 22nd medium jumbo fret to the contemporary 9.5”-radius fingerboard they’ve made it easier to express yourself musically. The updated 2-point tremolo design has smoother travel for enhanced playing feel while simultaneously giving you rock-solid tuning stability since there’s less friction against the posts. Other features include master volume and tone controls, a 5-way pickup switch, 3-ply pickguard, synthetic bone nut, dual-wing string tree, sealed tuning machines and four-bolt “F”-stamped neck plate that marks this instrument as the real deal--as Fender as it gets. Own your tone and create something new with the Player Stratocaster.

Good quality for the money. I have owned three of these now and I can't say enough good things about the fret work and fit. However I have had TWO of these with finish blemishes (Tidepool) from one seller but they made good on the second one as I didn't really notice the blemishes on the first one so I sold it later. But overall these are great value for the playability and sound. You get the Fender quality with the Fender name and all the features that made Fender a household name. However the pots are decent (CTS name but made in Taiwan) but the jack and the switch are cheap Chinese made garbage!

Oak Grigsby is an import company that offers cheap electronics and these switches are nothing like the original CTS (USA MADE) versions that Fender originally used but I don't have any plans to replace anything - I bought this to replace my '56 Fender Stratocaster that has severely worn frets. I didn't want to re-fret it or re-dress them as they are so low that the strings are practically lying on the fretboard now! So I bought this while being on the fence about a new guitar. The Tidepool finish is great but I'm almost afraid to play it as I don't want to dent or scratch it! The frets are smooth and polished with now sharp ends and the action is decent but I'd rather it was a littlelower. It's better than most of the guitars that I've played at other stores. Also the fact that this doesn't even come with a gig bag makes it worse since this was so expensive for the price! I only wish that the other guitars that I bought from Butler Music were the same finish quality as this one. Also worth mentioning is that Fender is now routing their guitars AFTER they paint them which is why the inside of the body has bare wood spots were the controls, pickups, jack, and tremolo are. Maybe they think this saves paint? Who knows? But all in all this is a great player guitar with more modern features to allow more playability without a lot of fuss over strings choking out on the frets from the radius or the tremolo being hard to use and still have full action. If Fender would only take a little more time on the finishes - especially the neck or rather the fretboard they would have the same guitar as the American professional in its' appearance and sound, and playability and value.

I do a lot of research before I purchase gear. I watched and read reviews across YouTube and multiple best-in-class retail sites before I made the decision to buy this guitar--in the tide pool color. Net net, I love it. The Fender Player delivers excellent sound and a range of tones, and the double-locking tremolo adds more versatility than the traditional strat tremolo. Plus, you can't beat the price. I was skeptical when I read that it is manufactured outside the U.S. but this guitar came well packaged and in the condition you would expect from any new product.

I'll admit I never heard of this company before living here in Texas. I was in the market for a Fender Player Stratocaster but not in a rush. I usually deal with one specific online retailer but decided to do a few searches anyway and found this Limited Edition Lake Placid Blue Player Stratocaster on Adorama offered at a significant price reduction compared with other online sellers. Fender has raised their prices recently so the price I paid was even more impressive. I was a little hesitant but the price was too good to pass up so I ordered one hoping for the best. It was shipped 2-day Air and was double boxed.

For example, Sweetwater double boxes their guitars as well but puts blocks of foam in strategic areas in the outer box to protect the inner product box. But it didn't prove to be an issue this time. The guitar arrived on time. Being the pessimist that I am I held my breathe while opening the box thinking that for the price I paid something was bound to be wrong with the guitar. I open the box and to my relief the guitar was perfect in every way. The paint job was flawless as were the frets. All I had to do was tune it. I had ordered some locking tuners so those will be going on. I put them on all of my guitars. I am extremely pleased with this purchase and will be checking the website periodically for other great deals in Musical Instruments. My overall shopping experience was great so no complaints here.

Bought the Fender Player strat in Surf Pearl about a month ago and am really happy with it. Quality is top notch. I really don't know how it could be better. Shipping was fast. Out of the box, setup was a bit rough, but I spent about 15 minutes adjusting the truss rod and saddles, put new strings on etc. and it plays great! Frets were nice- level and filed. Nut was cut well. Absolutely no complaints. Plays great and sounds like a strat. I have several MIA and MIM fenders, both strats and teles and this is a great quality guitar. I was originally planning on getting a US made strat but liked the player series more and couldn't justify the extra money after comparing the player to the pro II and performer.. Color is really nice too; like a surf green but with tiny ... MoreBought the Fender Player strat in Surf Pearl about a month ago and am really happy with it. Quality is top notch.

I am no expert on guitars, and even far less so as a guitarist but, at my playing level and ability, this Fender Player Stratocaster is an absolute joy to play! It wasn't that much of a surprise to me when I brought it home and plugged it into my Fender Princeton Chorus amp and started playing it. I love the smoothness of the neck up and down and the action is perfect. The two single pick-ups, together with the bridge humbucker just explode through my amp. I love this beautifully crafted guitar!! What did surprise me, and what I never expected was the amazing way the staff welcomed in all of the instruments and gear that I hoped to trade in for a store credit. They asked me what I realistically expected to get in trade value and I told them. Lo and behold, they ...

They asked me what I realistically expected to get in trade value and I told them. Lo and behold, they offered me exactly what I hoped. Since one of the instruments was a 5-piece drum set with several cymbals and stands, etc., it took quite a while for the guys to assess each piece but, in the mean and in between time, they were most courteous and accommodating in helping me find the "one" guitar that I wanted and plugged me in to a floor amp and just let me choose and play any guitar I wanted from the vast inventory hanging before me on the wall. They answered all of my questions and helped me find the perfect guitar case for it. My overall experience at Sam Ash of Charlotte far exceeded my expectations, as I had never been there before. But I definitely hope to go back! What a superbly professional experience!!
I bought this same guitar a few years ago from Guitar Center because I liked the color & the fact that it wasn't very common. I've never been a big fan of glossy maple fingerboards, but I've pretty much gotten used to it. I've got an aftermarket strat neck with rosewood board on a partscaster made back in 1990 when fingerboard woods were still closer to a slab of wood rather than being little more than a veneer which is so common today with many traditional fingerboard woods. So, I've thought about replacing the OEM neck with the older one. I replaced the tuners with locking ones, the string tree with a graphite one, the trem's inertia block with a machined steel one & the stainless-steel bar that came with it & is not loose & sloppy feeling like the original & the ...

So, I've thought about replacing the OEM neck with the older one. I replaced the tuners with locking ones, the string tree with a graphite one, the trem's inertia block with a machined steel one & the stainless-steel bar that came with it & is not loose & sloppy feeling like the original & the saddles with stamped steel ones similar to stock, but with a groove in them for the strings, strap locks, and probably the most important item, a tele p/u selector switch tip because, why not? Oh, & I made the fret ends a little nicer & put a Switchcraft input jack in it. I'd like to install a bone nut or ivory because I have a little stash of it that's old & legal. I've thought a faux tortoise shell pickguard would look nice too. And of course, like nearly all of us seem to do, I've thought about changing the pickups, (we just can't seem to help ourselves). Or just put an old Carvin hot single coil that I have laying around in the bridge position. I think that, for the most part, MIM guitars, especially with a few mods & a good setup, are a bargain compared to other options on offer from Fender.
I was very dissapointed when i got this guitar. Firstly the end knob was missing off the 5 way toggle switch even tho it had been quality controlled singed off by 4 people. Secondly it didnt seem like it was brand new and thirdly and the reason i ended up sending it back is because it just would not stay in tune no matter how much i messed about with it. I phoned PMT who just kept saying its because the strings are new. And it might have dropped out when it was shipped across the water etc. I bought an ibanez 6 months ago. That hardly needed tuning right out of the bix and stays in tune all the time. Anyway the guy i spoke to said tighted the strings more so i did, then one snapped. So by this time od lost all patience and faith with it and sent it back even tho i ... MoreI was very dissapointed when i got this guitar.

So by this time od lost all patience and faith with it and sent it back even tho i had to pay £26.99 to do so even tho i think the guitar was faulty in my opinion. A guitar with a fender name behind it shouldnt have the problems i had to put up with. Its put me off fender guitars and buying from PMT again.
The best guitar I have owned. Though I have played a few top tier guitars in the past, this MIM Strat is as good as any of them, if not better. The maple neck is superb feels superb to me, although I am not fussy about guitar frets. The factory set up out the box is very playable with good action and the ability to play very subtle whammy/tremolo bar accents. Compared to the lower end guitars I have owned before I was surprised with the tonal difference in quality. It has a twang to it which adds character to funky styles and and squealing guitar solos. It sounds exactly how I have always wanted my guitar to sound. It is worth the money, I would say go for it now, because it has already gone up significantly in price since I bought it, and with good reason.
First re Mexico vs US, finish quality & assembly are flawless. I've never owned a Fender before but after just a few minutes playing it I can hardly put it down, really even unplugged the sound resonance is amazing!? One reason I liked and disliked Strats were the single coil pickups creating that 'PoP' sound. Fender addresses it with the Humbucker Single Single HSS configuration. I never knew this was an option but I find the sound incredible, it's demoed in their videos. I wanted my Strat in natural finish with black trim but it's not being offered so confession, I went with the first Strat color I ever saw, Jimi Hendrix (Polar) white and that sealed Maple neck...sweeter. The team at Sweetwater is awesome, regardless if my tech is available, each one picks up the ... MoreFirst re Mexico vs US, finish quality & assembly are flawless.

I started playing a cheap Epiphone Strat many years ago, then moved to a Les Paul to get a fuller rock sound. Since then, I've tried to find a happy balance between the two.In between, I've picked up a PRS Custom and a Telecaster but could never quite find the sound I wanted. When I tried some Strats at GC, they wouldn't stay in tune and sounded bad through their amp selections.I went to Sam Ash and was able to play this Strat through the same amp I have, a Marshall DSL 40CR. What a great combination with this guitar and amp!I feel like an old friend has moved back into the neighborhood! I'm re-energized by finding the sound I've been searching for. Sometimes the best solutions are straightforward and this combo works really well for me. The staff were great ...
