The Fender Ltd Ed Player Stratocaster HSS Plus Top MN (Blueburst) is a Limited Edition 6-String Electric Guitar taken from the Player Series. 2x traditional Alnico 5 Single-Coils (in Neck and Mid position) deliver the familiar clear Bell-Like Sounds with an airy touch and present Mid-Range, whilst the Player Series Alnico 2 Humbucker provides powerful Bridge sounds with additional Output for Rock and Metal. The Hardware set-up is in the form of a synchronized Fender 2-Point Tremolo, solid Die-Cast Mechanics and classic Fender "F" Stamped Neck-Plate. The Player Strat HSS Plus Top features a strikingly grained 2-Piece Curly Maple Top and a strictly limited Blueburst Finish.
This is a beautiful looking instrument and though I paid more for the plus top and Sienna burst I'm delighted with it. The bridge humbucker takes nothing from the tone but provides a substantial boost for soloing with or without distortion. The craftsmanship is superb and on a par with the more expensive American models I've owned in the past. I gave only four stars for sound but a little height adjustment of the middle and neck pickups has cured my misgivings. A great guitar.
This has been my first time to shop with Music Store. Thank you so much for a wonderful
Fender guitar. Great price, really well set up, well packed for delivery, and delivery time has been the fastest from the time of order. Well done to you all as I am so thrilled with my purchase.
Be safe at this time and best wishes from Michael in Ireland. SLAN....
Great guitar, stunning quality, pickups are good, only thing is to bear in mind is that for this price it does come direct from warehouse so you might have to do some setup work yourself or get a Tech to do it.
