The Player Stratocaster is the modern benchmark for what a great electric guitar should be at a mid-range price. Three Alnico V single-coil pickups deliver the iconic Strat sound -- bright, chimey, and responsive -- and the five-way switch opens up the two in-between positions that made the Stratocaster famous in the first place.

The contemporary C neck profile is comfortable for most playing styles, and the 9.5-inch fingerboard radius balances chord comfort with lead playability. The two-point tremolo system is smooth and returns to pitch reliably. Whether you're playing vintage rock, indie, country, or blues, the Player Stratocaster is a versatile, well-built guitar that holds its own in any setting.
