(ARCHIVE) Fender Player Plus Stratocaster Aged Candy Apple Red 2021
- Description
- Guitarchives
Fender Player Plus Strat, faded candy apple, made in Mexico 2021. The Player Plus is the updated take on the Deluxe Strat from a few years back, so it's got some tasty hardware and specs to take things up a notch. The two point trem, locking tuners and push/pull control to add the neck pickup in are all nice touches. It feels good in the hands: tight and tidy, quick comfy neck, reliable hardware so it holds tune... it all works. The Noiseless pickups solve that age-old 60-cycle hum issue and deliver spanky, bright and clear take on the classic Strat tone. The finish looks great too, it looks closer to a faded burgundy mist than candy apple in the flesh, but hey it's a tasty hue. Plus yourself.
