Fender Player Stratocaster - Blue left-handed  

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 has all the same elements as a regular Fender Stratocaster. This makes it the ideal guitar for the beginning guitarist or musician with a limited budget. The body of the guitar is made of alder, which creates a clear sound. The body has a high-gloss finish, which emphasises the beautiful blue colour of the guitar. The guitar has a maple neck with a satin finish. This makes the neck very comfortable to play and is ideal for guitarists who get sweaty hands. The fretboard is made of pau ferro. Pau ferro is a sustainable tone wood and a great alternative for rosewood. The guitar has three Alnico single-coil pickups who can be adjusted with the five-way switch, the volume knob, and the two tone knobs. The Player Stratocaster is thus a great guitar and ideal standard Stratocaster!
