Description

Where can you find a straight-ahead Strat with extra bite? Well, you're looking in the right place. Fender keeps the specs stock across the board with an alder body, two Player Series single-coils, 9.5"-radius fingerboard, and two-point tremolo bridge with bent-steel saddles, updating the neck profile to a very playable "Modern C" shape and throwing a rowdy Player Series humbucking pickup on the bridge. Simple but alive, this is a Stratocaster with some get-up. Founded by Leo Fender in 1938 as Fender's Radio Service, what is now the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation began making electric guitars and amplifiers in 1945. The rest, as they say, is history. Creator of the world's first mass-produced, and by far most popular, solid-bodied electric, Fender is now the world's leading guitar manufacturer. Replacing the now-discontinued Standard series, the Fender Player Series honors the core Fender classics with quality construction, vintage-inspired finishes, select modern updates, and friendly price points that appeal to a range of aspiring and experienced players.
