What is the Fender Player Stratocaster?

The Fender Player Stratocaster is the first in the lineup and most affordable of Mexican made Fender guitars.

Where are Fender Player Strats made?

They are made in Fender's Mexican factory.

What are the different Stratocaster models in the Fender Player Series?

There are 6 different right-handed models in the Player Stratocaster range and one left-handed model. They are are follows: the regular Player Stratocaster with three single coil pickups (SSS), an HSS model with a bridge humbucker, an HSH model with two humbuckers and one single coil, an HSS model with a Floyd Rose tremolo and two 'Plus' models (a regular SSS and an HSS) with a Flame Maple veneer on the guitar's top. The left handed model is the regular SSS model.

What is the difference between the the four Stratocaster models in the Player series?

The differences, apart from the finishes, are hardware and pickup related. Aside from the normal three single coil pickup Stratocaster, there is also an HSS model (which means it has a bridge position humbucker and two single coils), an HSS model with a locking Floyd Rose tremolo instead of the usual vintage-style trem and finally an HSH model which has one single coil pickup in the middle position, flanked by a pair of humbuckers. Each of these varieties have their own range of finishes. The different configurations all change the sound and application of the guitar. We recommend playing a few of the ones that interest you in order to find which models work best for you.

Does the Player Stratocaster have new pickups?

Yes, the Player Series Stratocaster has its own newly designed set of single coil pickups. These blend plenty of the classic Strat tone with a little bit more output to drive the amp a little harder. This is a slightly more modern take on Strat pickups and they sound wonderful.

What pickups are in a Fender Player Stratocaster?
