Fender Player Series Stratocaster - Tidepool Blue with Maple Fretboard

Introducing the brand new Player series Fender Stratocaster in Tidepool with Maple Fretboard.  The inspiring sound of a Stratocaster is one of the foundations of Fender.  Featuring this classic sound... bell-like high end, punchy mids & robust low end, combined with crystal-clear articulation - the Player Stratocaster is packed with authentic Fender feel & style. It is versatile enough to handle any style of music & it’s the perfect platform for creating your own sound.

Respecting our heritage while maintaining our 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 we’ve 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.
