Fender Player Plus Stratocaster HSS PF, Belair Blue

Full Description

Solid alder body

Alder is often praised for its incredibly balanced tone and ability to provide perfect dynamic range. Ideal for a multitude of genres and musical styles, with bright highs, full lows and a beefy midrange, the guitar has brilliant foundations for a fantastic overall tone, making it extremely desirable for most guitarists. Alder offers exceptional sustain and resonance to guarantee each note is clearly defined, providing clarity in chords and sharpness in notes, making it the perfect companion for most performers.

High quality electronics & hardware

The Fender Player Plus Stratocaster is built with the professional in mind. Fender have ensured that this guitar is equipped with high quality electronics and hardware perfect for any performer. The Player Plus Pickups are placed in a HSS configuration, with a humbucker at the bridge and two noiseless single coils in the middle and the neck, the pickups create an exceptional tone that is loved by Fender players. A 5-way switch, a volume dial, and two-tone controls, including a push/pull system for the humbucking pickup, provide excellent tonal freedom which allows you to create your perfect performance.

Incorporating a two-point synchronized tremolo bridge with block saddles provides the guitar with beautiful vibrato whilst maintaining impeccable tuning stability. A synthetic bone nut is employed to further hold the string in position, letting you express yourself with true freedom, without worrying about your strings slipping out of tune.

Marvellous maple neck & pau ferro fretboard

A modern “C” maple neck is sculpted for an optimised and comfortable playing experience. Offering a perfect balance between ensuring a secure firm grasp, and still delivering an easy, smooth transition, allowing you to precisely traverse the fretboard. The maple neck and pau ferro fretboard also hold fantastic tonal qualities, providing a beautiful, warm characteristic to the tone, whilst sustaining the snappy attack and depth of the sound. All of this results in an exciting guitar that offers an incredible performance.
