(ARCHIVE) Fender Player Stratocaster HSS Buttercream 2022
























- Description
- Guitarchives
Fender Player Strat, buttercream, made in Mex 2022. The Player series launched in 2018 as Fender's practical, affordable takes on their classic models. This one was made in 2022, but presents pretty close to new, it's in great shape. The humbucker in the bridge is a handy addition: you get all those tasty crispy single coil snappy cleans on the neck and middle position, but the bridge pickup delivers the goods for big fat dirty tones. The neck is finished in slick satin on the back and carved to an agreeable modern C shape; it's a winner. The buttercream finish is a shade or two more yellow than the more familiar vintage white, but not so rude as a proper graffiti or Monaco yellow; it's a classy warm custardy colour. Heaps to enjoy here, it will surely tickle your Strat-itch.
