An absolutely immaculate example of the Fender Player Plus Stratocaster HSS in Belair Blue, with a gig bag.
Fender's Player Plus instruments are made specifically for performance-hungry musicians seeking affordable, advanced tools of expression. Built upon the best-selling Player series formula, these models come refined with modern upgrades that keep guitarists feeling inspired to play both louder and longer!
The Fender Player Plus Stratocaster delivers superior playability, tone and style for the latest generation. Equipped with a trio of newly-designed 'Noiseless' pickups that pump out classic Strat sounds without the hum, additional appointments include a set of deluxe locking tuners for improved tuning stability, a "C"-shaped Maple neck enhanced with a slippery satin finish and rolled fingerboard edges, medium jumbo frets for unparalleled note control, and a super-smooth 2-point tremolo. It's like a Strat on steroids!
Key Features
- Alder Body — Popular timber synonymous with Fender guitars. Offers a balanced tonal foundation for the pickups, with tight lows, bold mids and singing highs.
- Modern "C" Maple Neck (with Rolled Edges) — Contemporary, rounded neck profile with moderate depth. Softened fingerboard edges and satin neck finish ensure a silky-smooth playing experience.
- 12" Fingerboard Radius — Flatter than you'd find on most Fender guitars. Great feature for modern guitarists, enabling fluid leads and preventing notes from choking when bending the strings.
- 1.685" Nut Width — Slightly wider nut allows the strings to be spaced further apart; letting your hand sit in a more natural and ergonomic position.
- Medium Jumbo Frets — Large, tall frets increase the distance between the strings and fingerboard for exceptional note control. Enable wide vibrato and pitch-perfect string bends.
- Player Plus 'Noiseless' Pickups — Legendary Fender Strat single-coil tones free of hum! New pickup design provides more clarity and balance for improved versatility.
- Advanced Switching — Push/pull pot on the second tone control adds the neck pickup to switch positions 1 and 2. Lets you emulate those naughty Nashville Tele tones!
- Deluxe Locking Tuners — Guarantee superior tuning stability and make string changes quicker to complete.
- 2-Point Synchronised Tremolo — Highly-responsive, with steel block saddles enhancing sustain and boosting low-end warmth.
- Included Deluxe Gig Bag — Rugged fabric case offers rock-solid protection for the instrument.
