Fender Player Stratocaster HSS Plus Top Blue Burst

2024 Fender Player Stratocaster HSS Plus Top in the gorgeous Blue Burst flame maple finish. Made in Mexico and part of Fender’s modern Player Series lineup, this model combines classic Strat feel and ergonomics with upgraded versatility and a more aggressive tonal range thanks to the factory HSS pickup configuration.

The standout feature on this guitar is the figured flame maple top under the translucent Blue Burst finish. In person, the figuring shifts under light and gives the guitar a much more premium appearance than a standard solid-color Strat. Fender used these Plus Top finishes to give the Player series a more upscale look while keeping the familiar Strat platform players love.

Features Fender Player Series single coils in the neck and middle positions for classic Strat sparkle, articulation, and quack, paired with a bridge humbucker that adds thicker mids, higher output, and more punch for rock and higher-gain playing. Great setup for players covering everything from blues and classic rock to modern rock and heavier styles.

The modern “C” maple neck and 22-fret maple fingerboard feel fast and comfortable, with a flatter 9.5” radius that bends easily without fretting out. Two-point tremolo bridge offers smoother feel and improved tuning stability over vintage six-screw systems.

This guitar also carries the Fender 70th Anniversary marking on the rear headstock from Fender’s anniversary production year.

Excellent all-around Strat with a finish that really stands out compared to typical Player Series models.
