Real Deal Sound

The inspiring sound of a Stratocaster is one of the foundations of Fender. Featuring this classic sound—bell-like high end, punchy mids and robust low end, combined with crystal-clear articulation—the Player Stratocaster is packed with authentic Fender feel and style. It’s ready to serve your musical vision, it’s versatile enough to handle any style of music and it’s the perfect platform for creating your own sound.

Player Series Pickups

Designed for authentic Fender tone—with a bit of an edge—our Player Series pickups are crisp and articulate, a modern tweak of our classic sound.

2-Point Tremolo Bridge

This Stratocaster features a two-point tremolo bridge for smooth, superior tremolo action.

Bridge Pickup Tone Control

Breaking with tradition, we added a dedicated tone control for the bridge pickup, giving you more control over your sound in pickup positions one and two.

22-Fret Neck

Adding another fret extends the range, while the “Modern C”-shaped neck profile is comfortable for almost any playing style.

More Traditional Body RADII

The Player Stratocaster model’s sleek curves are hand-shaped to original specifications.

 “F”-Stamped Neck Plate

Each Player Stratocaster includes an “F”-stamped neck plate, leaving no doubt as to the instrument’s pedigree.
