Fender Player Plus Stratocaster, Pau Ferro, Aged Candy Apple Red Overview
Fender Player Plus Stratocaster, Pau Ferro, Aged Candy Apple Red
The Fender Player Plus Series builds on the best-selling Player Series that was first released in 2018, combining classic Fender designs with upgraded features and new finishes to create Fender’s most advanced series ever in this class, setting a new standard for entry-level guitars.
The Fender Player Plus Stratocaster has an Alder body which is fairly lightweight and provides a full-bodied tone, a 25.5” scale length, a durable maple neck with a modern ‘C’ shape profile and a smooth satin finish. The fretboard is also made from Pau Ferro which has a similar look and feel to ebony, with rolled edges to make it even more comfortable to play, a 12” radius, a 1.685" nut width and 22 medium jumbo frets which all contribute to the modern feel.
The Player Plus Stratocaster has a 2-point synchronized tremolo with block saddles which makes it smooth and responsive and provides classic vibrato effects, while the deluxe cast/sealed locking tuners provide incredible tuning stability and make it easier to restring.
For pickups, the Stratocaster has three Player Plus Noiseless single-coil pickups which are articulate, bright and deliver the classic Stratocaster tone without hum. There’s a push-pull pot on the Tone control which adds the neck pickup to switch positions 1 and 2 for two sounds that aren’t usually found on a Strat, making it incredibly versatile.
There’s also a push-pull pot on Tone 2 that splits the hum for single-coil sounds, which delivers clear single-coil tones making this Strat incredibly versatile. The five-way switch lets you access Strat-style pickup combinations for a wide variety of tonal options. The Fender Player Plus Stratocaster is built for players who want a classic, affordable yet high-quality electric guitar by a reliable brand, and would make a great beginner guitar.
The Player Plus Stratocaster is completed with nickel-chrome hardware, a 3-ply mint green pickguard and a gloss finish. Available in 3-Colour Sunburst, Olympic Pearl, Tequila Sunrise, Aged Candy Apple Red, and Opal Spark.
