Fender Player Stratocaster - Silver  

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 a great Stratocaster that has all the characteristic of a Fender guitar. Consequently, the guitar has three Alnico single-coil pickups. Single-coil pickups are typical for a Stratocaster because they produce that legendary Rock ‘n Roll sound. However, single-coils are still very versatile, and they also sound amazing without any effects. The pickups can be adjusted with the five-way switch, the volume knob, and the two tone knobs. The guitar has an alder body and a maple neck. The neck has a satin finish which makes it comfortable to play. The satin finish makes it easy to slide through your hand and is ideal for guitarists who tend to get sweaty hands while playing. The fretboard is made of pau ferro, which is a sustainable alternative for rosewood. The Player Stratocaster is thus a proper Fender guitar for a low price!
