Full Description

Primed Player pickups

Do you like sparling tone? The Player Series Alnico 5 Strat single coil pickups in this guitar offer tonnes of quality sound. With a trio at your disposal, you’ll be able to change your guitar voicing up whenever you want. The bridge position pickup is bright and punchy, giving you that sparkling, vibrant tone which will make chords come to life and riffs shine. Then there’s the neck pickup. Smooth and sweet, it will fatten up any note, whilst offering a decent level of sustain. And the middle pickup is the perfect balance between the two, with a twangy yet full voicing. These will help you write music of the highest order.

Smooth playing

Luxury for your hand. The maple-on-maple neck and fingerboard combination really works wonders for your playing. Offering sublime smoothness, the neck will lend your hand total freedom across the entire fretboard. The ‘C’ profile helps it feel beautifully natural when you’re holding it – this makes for comfortable manoeuvring. And the fingerboard is no different, letting your fingers slide between frets with ease. The maple wood itself adds even more brightness to your tone, letting you unleash the full snap of every note.

Powerful vibrato

A bold bridge. The 2-Point Synchronised Tremolo bridge doesn't just provide strong string support. It also lets you use the whammy bar for that unmistakable vibrato effect. Make those notes wobble as much or as little as you like - you can add plenty of flair to your music this way. Complete with nickel/chrome hardware, a beautiful finish, and a sleek, classy pickguard, the Player Stratocaster beams with quality – and an affordable price tag.
