Fender's Player Series Gets a Serious Upgrade!

When Fender's Player Series first hit the scene, its combination of rock-solid tonewoods and stellar electronics made for an infinitely giggable axe priced for the working musician. The Fender Player Plus Stratocaster builds on this blueprint with upgraded electronics and optimizations throughout to deliver even more incredible bang for your buck. The addition of a coil-splittable Player Plus humbucker and noiseless single-coil pickups pumps out hard-hitting tone with crystal clarity. Rolled fingerboard edges give the Player Plus Strat a distinctly professional feel, a feature commonly found on instruments in higher price ranges. Throw in locking tuners and a highly expressive synchronized tremolo, and this top-notch 6-string truly puts the "Plus" in Player Plus Stratocaster.

Outfitted with powerful Player Plus pickups

The trademark tone of a Strat is heard across countless recordings and number-one hits, and for good reason — the spank, the twang, and the chime of its pickups lend crystal clarity and enhanced articulation to anything you play. Fender made sure to equip the Player Plus Strat with high-powered pickups to perfectly fit the bill, with a Player Plus humbucker in the bridge and a pair of Player Plus single-coils in the middle and neck positions. When it comes to thick, full-bodied tone, the Player Plus humbucker is your new secret weapon — it's fully capable of gritty cleans and aggressive distortion with a handy push-pull tone knob coil split for instant access to single-coil sounds. Speaking of single-coils, the Player Plus Strat's Noiseless Strat pickups thoroughly impressed Sweetwater guitarists, pumping out that classic quack and richness of a vintage Strat without the pesky 60 cycle hum.

Elite enhancements throughout

Whether it's your first or 50th Fender, the Player Plus Strat is familiar in the hands. You get the standard tonewood combo of alder with maple for the neck and pau ferro for the fingerboard, laying a solid tonal foundation with plenty of snap and smooth playability. Where the Player Plus Strat truly shines is its impressive feature set. Its Modern "C" Player Plus neck profile boasts a rolled-edge fingerboard for a comfortable worn-in feel right out of the box. Locking tuners up top make for split-second string changes while keeping everything in tune, the perfect companion for this Strat's silky-smooth 2-point synchronized tremolo. The Player Plus Strat epitomizes love at first strum — make sure to clear your schedule for the next few days!

I am sold on Fender

Sounds awesome, feels and looks amazing!

I want to first thank Kenny, my sales engineer- he is always super helpful and a pleasure to speak with. I love this guitar. After trying out a Fender Pro 2, I was not so happy with the taller frets. The player plus has medium jumbo and just feels better for me. It honestly feels just as high quality as the pro 2 otherwise. Neck feels great. Love the pau ferro. All hardware is high quality. Tremolo works great. Coil split sounds awesome. Here's what I really like about the pickups: I am lead vocalist and guitarist in an energetic rock band and this guitar is perfect for cutting through the mix. The pickups are very bright which I like. I think it's easy to dial in a good sound when you're playing alone and not realize how much of the low end you need to drop when jamming with a band. These pickups seem designed with this in mind. You may need to roll the tone down a bit playing clean, especially if you're using modulation effects but this beats a muddy sound any day...Can't say enough good about this guitar. Wish I could get the Opal Spark HSS too but I already have enough guitars. Thanks again to Kenny and Sweetwater!!!

My baby

A very versatile guitar with a smooth super playable fingerboard. Feels like butter to play and hits hard. The splittable bridge humbucker was almost an afterthought, but it has a sweet growl I fell in love with. Sweetwater set it up just right.

It’s impossible to imagine a world without Fender guitars, and if you’re like many of the guitarists at Sweetwater, then Fender not only made the first guitar you ever bought " they made the last one too! From building the first mass-produced solidbody electric guitars and basses in the 1950s to creating some of the most influential amplifier designs in history, it’s no wonder why Fender is one of the biggest names in the business. As one of the world’s largest Fender dealers, we have countless guitars, basses, amps, effects pedals, and accessories in stock and ready to ship, whenever you need them. We’re always getting our hands on their latest creations, and there’s nothing we love more than to tell our customers all about them! So, whether you’re looking for your first axe or a Custom Shop creation, make sure to give your Sweetwater Sales Engineer a call at (800) 222-4700.
