Fender Player Stratocaster HSS - 3-Tone Sunburst with Maple Fingerboard

This guitar plays EXTREMELY good! It’s setup and intonated with 10-46 gauge strings in standard tuning, the action is low with no fret buzz, neck relief is good and straight. 

The electronics are all stock except for the tone 1 control that was upgraded to a A250k Bourns push/pull pot to split the humbucker pickup which gives you the extra SSS position option just like the player II modified. 

The Nut slots have been widened to accommodate the 10-46 gauge strings and have been regularly lubed on each string change as well as the other friction points so there is no binding at the nut and tuning is very stable when the tremolo is used. 

There is 1 small added hole in the pickguard on the Low E side of the bridge pickup to previously accommodate a Seymour Duncan JB, the stock pickup has since been wired back in and does not affect sound or playability in any way. 

There is NO Case included with sale, but guitar is in mint condition with no dings or scratches.

The Fender Player Series Strat HSS

The Fender Stratocaster is considered by many guitarists, including many of us at Sweetwater, to be the classic solidbody electric guitar. Introduced in 1954, the Strat has flaunted its svelte body curves, tonal dexterity, and expressive vibrato in the capable hands of guitarists cross-genre. At once a working musician's axe and cultural icon, the Fender Player Series Stratocaster HSS takes the grand tradition into the future with a fast-action 22-fret maple neck, vibrant vintage-inspired finishes, and a versatile trio of humbucker and single-coil Alnico pickups to cover wide swaths of contemporary and classic music.

The timeless classic, with Player Series upgrades

Though the original Stratocaster was first introduced more than 60 years ago, it's unquestionably more popular now than ever. The Player Series Stratocaster HSS combines the guitar's sleek, elegant lines with the perfect blend of vintage and modern features. You start with the classic comfort-contoured alder body, finished in gloss polyester and crowned with a 3-ply parchment pickguard, and add to it a trio of Player Series Alnico pickups and a fast, satin-backed, modern-playing maple neck.

Versatile HSS pickup configuration

The Player Series Strat HSS is equipped for a wide range of musical styles, from modern high gain to classic surf and country. Neck and middle Alnico V single-coils deliver all the quack, spank, and sparkle you expect from a Strat. Behind them, a moderate-gain Alnico II humbucker adds chunk to rhythms and heat to leads.

Fast-playing Modern "C" maple neck

In keeping with contemporary player preferences, the Player Series Stratocaster HSS sports a comfortable modern C-shaped maple neck and a 9.5"-radius fingerboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets. The neck is finished with a smooth satin polyurethane for a sleek, fast feel. With its sleek body contours and highly playable neck, it's no wonder that the Fender Stratocaster has remained one of the most popular guitars on the planet for decades.
