      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.
