  • Good quality, arrived ready to play!
Color: Polar White Style: Maple Fingerboard Set: HSS
It's a beautiful guitar. Came shipped with the Fender box in a larger box to keep it safe. No issues with blemishes or fret buzz or sprout. The fretboard is very glossy and sealed (I'll see if this ends up being too sticky and needs to be buffed out). Intonation is good out of the box. Neck is straight. All the signs of a good guitar arriving ready to play. I just had to let it acclimate and tune the strings. I have a '96 MIM strat I bought new in a music shop that I've been playing for 25+ years. They play and sound nearly identical. The '96 is a bit louder, and has the pickups set closer to the strings. I may play around with the pickup height on this new guitar to get more punch. The biggest difference between the 2 is that the newer Player Strat's knobs look cheaper. The ones on my '96 have a green patina (maybe from copper in the paint?), and just look more crisp. Overall, good quality and arrived ready to play! ... show more

  • Excellent quality Strat.
Color: Polar White Style: Pau Ferro Fingerboard Set: HSS
Exceptional value imo. Regarding the law of diminishing returns I don't see why I'd spend 5 or 6 bills more for the non MIM Fender. This is a quality for cost instrument. Fender has done a great job w their MIM line. It came well packaged. Mine is Polar white. I didn't attach the tremelo bar for these pics. The case is my old fender case not to confuse anyone it didn't come with the guitar. Every aspect of it is 100%. The finish is perfect and it's incredibly beautiful. Everything is set up to play. Neck is straight, frets seem fine. Bridge is floated and she seems to hold pitch but I only do mild dives at best. Over-all I'm very happy, not one imperfection. And it sounds great so far. For now my old MIM is my player. This one I'll work in slowly. I'll know in time if I need to tweak anything but so far she seems great. ... show more

  • Polar white strat
Color: Polar White Style: Pau Ferro Fingerboard Set: SSS
Quality was excellent, especially for the price. sound is superb, weight is nice, neck feels nice, frets are a good size (medium jumbo). I was concerned about the pau ferro fret board, but it looks sharp (use a little lemon oil to darken it). The only complaint is one fret end was just a touch high, i hit with a file and no more problem. Overall a great purchase at a great price! ... show more

  • 👌 perfect condition
Color: Buttercream Style: Maple Fingerboard Set: SSS
I was ready to pull the trigger on a player series fender stratocaster. When I stumbled upon this Amazon deal used good condition. I said ok ill try , I read reviews And some horror stories. My new fender , that's right a new fender, came remarkably package and everything in the box . Not a scratch .not in the original packaging..but Amazon Did such a wonderful job to take care shipping a instrument. Not sure why someone returned it .I had to make a few adjustments but had it in tune in no time at all. Playability is smooth and comfortable , especially the neck Feels perfect . If your thinking about a fender These players series are great for The price.. Just keep in mind , guitars are sensitive and it my need a little love once you open it . Mine is perfect . ... show more

  • Beautiful. Wasn't packed well.
Color: Capri Orange Style: Maple Fingerboard Set: SSS
I was very concerned about how poorly it was packed and if it would be damaged and I'd have to return it but it seemed to be in good shape, The finish is immaculate. I've had the guitar for a week and I've only now finished setting it up. There was no attempt to even set up the bridge. it was all down flat with height screws all sticking out so it had to be set to radius from the ground up. Then truss rod and fresh set of strings and I'm glad I hung on to it. For guys that don't do your own work on your guitars and have someone to set it up for you. Fantastic guitar. If you don't, I'd really consider Sweetwater or an on line dealer like that who sets them up before shipping. I don't know if I'll get flagged for recommending a certain store but I assure you, I'm not endorsing anyone. Love the guitar though. Pic doesn't do it justice. finish is amazing. Love the orange. It's Pumpkin in case it doesn't look like it in the ad. Pretty bad ass. I like it. ... show more

  • An Excellent Guitar
Color: Buttercream Style: Maple Fingerboard Set: SSS
I've been playing for over fifty years and have owned many guitars in just about every price category. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I give this guitar five stars (of course the price is a consideration). It annoys me when buyers have unrealistic expectations about the setup and playability of a guitar right out of the box...like whether it arrives in tune!?!? This guitar needed to be tuned, neck relief set, string height adjusted, intonation set, and so on. It's what you do, particularly if you're fussy about your setup and appreciated a guitar that plays well. I like the pickups, and the fact that the Mexican Fenders now have 22 frets. This particular Strat stays in tune very well, even with a full floating setup on the vibrato. Chap Stick on the nut slot helps a lot. The frets are fairly smooth right out of the box, so bends are smooth, although I'll be polishing them on the next string change. I like them glassy smooth. Sure, I have a couple of gripes. Fender, PLEASE stop using screw in vibrato arms. They wiggle too much and rattle around. Quit it! The fret ends on this guitar are sticking out a little and the rounding on the fret ends could be better. That said, I don't really notice it when I play, so it's something I can remedy when I feel like it. My previous Strat was an American Professional II, costing more than twice as much, and I don't have a sense that this is a lesser guitar (other than the screw in vibrato arm). This guitar is my current #1. ... show more
