This is a great guitar, it has a really nice neck, low action and versatile tone. It looks practically new, but has two flaws. It has a difficult to see paint crack on the body near one of the neck screws. It can be felt with a fingernail, but seems stable. We took the neck off to make sure that it was a paint crack only. The wood there is not cracked. As a refurbished instrument, it has a “USED” stamp on the back of the headstock to indicate that it no longer carries factory warranty.
The inspiring sound of a Stratocaster is one of the foundations of Fender. Featuring this classic sound-bell-like high end, punchy mids and robust low end, combined with crystal-clear articulation-the Player Stratocaster is packed with authentic Fender feel and style. It’s ready to serve your musical vision, it’s versatile enough to handle any style of music and it’s the perfect platform for creating your own sound.
