Fender Stratocaster Electric guitar with HSS pickup setup from the Player Series
The Fender Player Series 2018 takes its place as the standard base range, providing reliable and competitive instruments for musicians looking for the sound and quality the company have become synonymous with. Represented within the Player Series are the following models in various configurations: Stratocaster, Telecaster, Jaguar & Jazzmaster guitars and Precision, Jazz & Jaguar Basses.
The Fender Player Series Stratocaster MN BCR (HSS) is the 2018 standard version of the iconic 6-string electric guitar, one of the most popular instruments from music’s history. Expect the usual crystal-clear high range, well-defined mids and solid bass delivery that give the Stratocaster its incredible versatility.
These Player Series Stratocasters feature a Player Series Alnico 2 Humbucking & 2x Alnico 5 Player Series Strat Single-Coil (HSS) pickups and a 5-position switching blade. A 2-point tremolo bridge with bent-steel saddles and synthetic bone nut ensure tuning stability during play, and the tone vibrates throughout an Alder body with a gloss polyester finish.
The main features of the Fender Player Series Stratocaster MN BCR (HSS) include:
6-String Electric Guitar
Body: Alder
Neck: Maple
Fingerboard: Maple
Bridge: 2-Point Synchronized Tremolo with Bent Steel Saddles
Pickups: Player Series Alnico 2 Humbucking & 2x Alnico 5 Player Series Strat Single-Coil (HSS)
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.

For 7-8 months i 've been playing with a beginners guitar (an Epiphone which costs approximately about 100€). I really wanted to upgrade my guitar as it was really difficult to play and the tones of my previous one was very dull. When i first plug the Fender Player HSS in my Boss Katana 50 mkII i was really impressed by the tones of it. In my opinion the biggest difference from my previous guitar is that the neck of Fender is absolutely gorgeous and very comfortable to play. The pickups are very versatile with the addition of the humbacker in the bridge position. The only downside is that it came with some minor flaws in the neck and the body. Other than that the guitar feels and plays great and I'm sincerely happy with my new guitar.
