Alder body Light weight with a wide tonal range
Fender Player Series Alnico 5 pickups Crisp and articulate; modern Fender edge
Maple neck Bright tone, full sustain and strength
Pau Ferro fretboard Delivers strong midrange presence and punch

Featuring the classic sound -- bell-like high end, punchy mids and robust low end, combined with crystal-clear articulation -- the stunning Player Stratocaster Plus Top is packed with authentic Fender feel and style. It's ready to serve your musical vision, it's versatile enough to handle any style of music and it’s the perfect platform for creating your own sound.

Respecting Fender's heritage while maintaining their innovative spirit, the power trio of Player Series single-coil pickups are crisp and articulate -- it's authentic Fender tone with a modern edge. The "Modern C"-shaped maple neck's comfortable contours and smooth finish are ideal for almost any playing style. By adding a 22nd medium jumbo fret to the contemporary 9.5"-radius fingerboard Fender's made it easier to express yourself musically. The updated 2-point tremolo design has smoother travel for enhanced playing feel while simultaneously giving you rock-solid tuning stability since there's less friction against the posts. Other features include master volume and tone controls, a 5-way pickup switch, 3-ply pickguard, synthetic bone nut, dual-wing string tree, sealed tuning machines and four-bolt "F"-stamped neck plate that marks this instrument as the real deal-as Fender as it gets.

Own the stage and create something new with the Player Stratocaster Plus Top.

Upon arrival and unboxing I noticed the plus top finish was much more defined than in the pictures. Its beautiful!!! Hardly any tuning was required and it was off to the races. It plays even better then it looks. The fret board is extremely player freindly with an amazing tonal range and sustain. The guitar itself is very light and comfortable. The only drawback is I wish I would have gotten one with a floyd rose bridge for better trem options. Overall the value, sound, and apperance is second to none. I highly recommend this guitar to anyone that has been playing for awhile or just starting out. Thanks zZounds
