A proper workhorse Strat with a bit more bite.

This Fender Player Stratocaster HSS gives you all the classic Strat tones you’d expect, with the added punch of a bridge humbucker when you need it. The neck and middle pickups deliver that familiar glassy top end and clarity, while the bridge humbucker brings in thicker, hotter tones for heavier styles.

It’s a really versatile setup—covers everything from clean funk and blues through to rock without breaking a sweat. The Modern “C” neck feels great in the hand and the 9.5” radius keeps things comfortable whether you’re chording or bending.

A solid, no-nonsense Strat that does a bit of everything well.

About The Woodshed

The Woodshed is an independent, bricks-and-mortar guitar shop run by two friends, Dan & Bruce, based in the Warwickshire countryside just outside Coventry.

We specialise in new, preloved and interesting guitars, basses, amplifiers, pedals and related gear, with fresh stock arriving through the doors all the time. We’re guitar people first and foremost, and The Woodshed was built around a simple idea: great gear, honest descriptions and the kind of personal service you should expect from a proper independent guitar shop.

Everything we sell passes through our shop, where it is inspected and tested by us before being offered for sale. We also have a fully equipped workshop offering professional setups, repairs and servicing, so guitars are something we deal with day in, day out — not simply boxes we move from one place to another.

We’re incredibly proud of the reputation The Woodshed has built and the feedback we receive from our customers. Whether you’re buying your first guitar, hunting down something a little unusual or adding another instrument to the collection, we want buying from us to be straightforward, friendly and enjoyable.

Being a genuine bricks-and-mortar shop means there are real people behind every listing. If you have a question about a guitar, its condition, specifications or anything else you’d like to know before buying, just ask — you’ll be speaking directly to Dan or Bruce.

We ship safely and securely across the UK and worldwide, and local collection is also available from our shop in Ansty, just outside Coventry.

Our stock is constantly changing, with new and preloved gear arriving regularly. Follow The Woodshed on social media to keep up with life at the shop, new arrivals, interesting gear and everything else happening at The Woodshed, and follow us here to keep up with our latest listings.

Thanks for looking — and, most importantly, thanks for supporting an independent guitar shop.
