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. A trio of noiseless Player Plus single-coil pickups pumps out hard-hitting tone with crystal clarity, made better with a push-pull Tone 2 knob to jack in the neck pickup when in positions 1 and 2. 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 three Player Plus single-coils delivering an expansive tonal range. These noiseless 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 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!

Hard to believe guitars can get much better.

Absolute stunner of a guitar. You're gonna find yourself at ends between playing it and staring at it. Speaking of playing it... wow. I had plans to take it to a luthier for touch ups but totally unnecessary. The only issue I have with it are some minor aesthetic flaws on the body where the neck meets. I only noticed it because well... I couldn't stop staring at it.

The Strat I've Always Wanted

This is my third one in recent years, but this is now THE ONE. Love the Modern "C" Player Plus neck...smooth and feels great. The noiseless pickups sound like classic strat to me (without the hum). The upgraded bridge on this Player Plus just feels better, especially on the palm. Locking tuners are a fantastic addition. An added treat is the Push-pull Tone knob to get a couple extra very distinct sounds. I had seen three different colors of the Player Plus in person and that creamy sparkling pearl is just amazing, especially against the tortoise pickguard. I'm thrilled with this one!
Much thanks to Sales Engineer Will Newbill for the great assistance!

I can't stop staring at it—and it sounds fantastic.

The photos don't do this guitar justice. The Olympic Pearl finish is absolutely stunning in person. Every time I walk into the room I have to pause and admire it.

The noiseless pickups are indeed noiseless and have that classic Strat sparkle. I feel they add a touch of twang on certain notes, similar to a Tele, but that may just be the strings that came with the guitar (I haven't put on new ones yet).

I deducted a half-star because while it does play buttery-smooth, I'm not as much of a fan of the 12" radius fretboard compared to the 9.5" found in the Player and American Strats (I tried a Player in Tidepool blue before switching to this model). I'm not sure why Fender chose to put the 12" on this model alone. Not a dealbreaker though, like I said, it still plays wonderfully!
Rated 5/5

Great guitar fantastic service!

I've been dealing with Sweet- water for years and Have always had great service and great quality products. I ordered the Players plus
Fender Stratocaster and had some issues with the first guitar I received.I called my salesperson Stephan Gray and Stephen got right on it.Talked to him about the problems I had and he told me just return the guitar if I wasn't happy with it and he would send me out a brand new one that I could choose off the web site.The second guitar was what I expected it to be. Came in great condition and set up perfectly. It is truly a great sounding,great playing guitar. It exceeded my expectations. I could not be happier with the service Stephen Gray gave me! Provo Stephen! Sweetwater is fortunate to have you! And my thanks goes out to Sweetwater for backing the product you sell! Don't hesitate to deal with Sweetwater they are a great company and there sales people are so helpful!

AS GOOD as my first one

I have been doing this for a long time and I have owned MANY Strats. The first one was in 1968 I have to say this is as good as any I have owned. I did a personal setup and Had it gone over by Nashville friends. I have several amps and a decent studio. Any way you work it The thing is fine as Frog's hair. Better balance and tuning stability and noiseless which is as good as regular single coils. Then you have to factor in the sweetwater difference. Extra warranty and fantastic service. Whats not to love?

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.
