Primed Player pickups

Do you like ultra-dynamic tone? The Player Series Alnico humbucker and 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 Alnico 2 humbucker is powerful and punchy, giving you that thick, saturated tone which will beef chords up and push those riffs to the front of the mix. Then there's the neck Alnico 5 single coil. Smooth and sweet, it will crispen up any note, whilst offering a decent level of sustain and punch. And the middle pickup is the perfect balance between the two, with a twangy, balanced voicing. These will help you write music of the highest order.

Smooth playing

Luxury for your hand. The pau ferro fretboard and maple neck combination really works wonders for your playing. Offering sublime smoothness, the neck will lend your hand total freedom across the entire fretboard. The Modern '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 Modern 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.
