Fender Player Stratocaster - Sunburst  

Fender

Fender was founded in 1946 by Clarence Leonidas ‘Leo’ Fender. Their first guitar, the Telecaster, became a huge success, and they started producing other similarly popular models, like the Stratocaster and the Precision Bass. Nowadays Fender has a huge assortment of different basses and guitars, with different sounds, colours, and prices, so that they have something for everyone. Consequently, they remain one of the most popular guitar brands today!

The Player Series

Fender developed the Player series specifically for beginning musicians and musicians with a relatively low budget. The Fender Player guitars and basses are made in Mexico and measure up to Fender’s American-made guitars quite well. The instruments are also very versatile and are even suited for recording and gigs. The Player guitars are thus more affordable versions of the popular Fender models. Consequently, they also feel and sound like a Fender guitar. However, the Player models are relatively standard, Fender did not add any unique modifications or special additions to the guitar. All models have Alnico pickups and are available in different colours.

The Player Stratocaster

The Player Stratocaster is very similar to the standard Fender Stratocaster. Consequently, this is the ideal possibility to own an affordable and genuine Fender Stratocaster. The body of the guitar is made of alder. The guitar also has a maple neck with a satin finish, which makes sure the guitar is comfortable to play, especially for people who tend to get sweaty hands while playing. The guitar has three Alnico single-coil pickups. These pickups can produce the typical Stratocaster sound, but also much more. The pickups can be adjusted with the five-way switch, the volume knob, and the two tone knobs, just like the authentic Stratocasters. The Player Stratocaster is thus a great guitar for a decent price!
