Description

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 sonically flexible Player Stratocaster HSS 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.Respecting our heritage while maintaining our innovative spirit, the Player Series humbucking bridge pickup sounds huge and warm, while the single-coil Stratocaster middle and neck 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. Adding value to your purchase, Austin Bazaar bundles your instrument with necessary accessories. Everything you need to start playing immediately comes in one box. Save yourself the hassle and save some money while you're at it. A tweed case is included so you can keep your instrument safely packed away when you're on the go. An easy-to-use clip-on tuner is included so you can keep your instrument in tune. A strap is included so you can practice or better yet perform while standing up. Strings are included so you have extra for later. Picks are included so you can start playing right out of the box. An Austin Bazaar instructional DVD is included so you can pick up some tips while learning your new instrument.

  • That Classic Fender Look And Sound
This was an upgrade for me from the Squier Sonic strat. I didn't have super-high expectations for a guitar that only cost a few hundred more, but I wanted a genuine Fender and the difference is night and day. The pickups are quieter, and every note rings out distinctly. The bridge pickup has that clean jangly Fender tone everyone talks about, and there is more punch when overdriven. The body of the guitar has noticeable upgrades as well, from the tuners and hardware to the choice of wood. To my eyes and ears, this guitar was setup adequately out of the box, and playability is smooth. Action is decent, good intonation, and I didn't notice any fret buzz. I don't plan on making any modifications. Austin Bazaar included a GearLux case loaded with accessories. Nothing was missing. Arrived two days early via FedEx. The Player line is now discontinued with the introduction of the Player II series, so grab one of these while you can. You'll be glad you did. ... show more

  • A New Fender from Amazon?
I've owned dozens of guitars over the years and this is the first time I ordered one sight unseen from Amazon. My thought was if there was any problem, Amazon is great at working things out. I expected the guitar to need some setup but I was wrong. Straight out of the box, it's a great guitar. Fender sets them up pretty well out of the factory so the play-ability of this guitar is excellent. I feel it needs no adjustments at all. The fit and finish is outstanding and the electronics are very nice. I can find no flaws whatever and the sound is pure Fender. I am quite happy with the guitar. The rest of the bundle is less satisfying. The case, while sporting the Fender logo, is quite cheap feeling compared to the case that came with my American Deluxe Stratocaster. Good enough to protect the guitar? Sure, but it is pretty light weight. The guitar cable is a generic 10 foot cable that is really pretty useless. The guitar strap is paper thin and I would not trust it with even a cheap guitar. The tuner and the picks are nice as you can never have enough of those. There is a 3 month pass for Fender Play which I probably will give to some kid and the instructional DVD included is really for someone who has never picked up a guitar before. So while I am very happy with the guitar, the rest of the bundle is less than what I expected. All in all though, I'm happy with the purchase and recommend this to others. ... show more

I bought this as a graduation present for my grandson who graduated high school. I was very happy with how the product was packed and delivered by the seller.

  • Perfect Shipment for a Perfect Product
Spent a good pile of money, was not going to tolerate any scratches, dings, dents, missing items, defective necks, intonation, bridges, evasive customer service, etc. Austin Bazaar did NOT disappoint. This my 2nd guitar purchase from them and many more to come. Thanx much fellers!

  • Great Value
This is the best guitar I've ever owned. Right out of the box it was perfect. Normally, the first thing I do is take the guitar to have a professional set up done. With this instrument I tuned it and started playing, no set up needed. The tweed case is a Fender Case and classic. In my opinion this is the best value pack you can get. I don't think you can beat a Fender Player Strat. ... show more

  • The Guitar Itself Arrived in Perfect Condition But...
The guitar itself arrived in perfect condition and was already in the case. The accessories - all Fender branded were not but maybe they should have been. The tuner was broken and unusable. The case (Fender wooden case in tweed) also withstood some minor damage (scuffs, scratches) but I wasn't concerned. It is a case after all and it did it's job. Overall very happy with the purchase but perhaps some extra caution should be taken when shipping. ... show more

  • The Guitar I've Waited For.
This is the most I have paid for a guitar since I started playing a year ago. It is well worth the money. I just tuned it up and started playing till my fingers are too sore to continue. The aged cherry top is beautiful and the guitar has a great range of sound to make. The only negative is the tremolo bar was missing. I have contacted Fender for a replacement. ... show more
