Fender Modern Player Stratocaster

General

Would you like a real Fender Stratocaster but is your budget too tight? Then choose the Modern Player Stratocaster HSS, a quality Chinese Fender with a very friendly price tag. This guitar is an entry-level classic Strat with a peculiar twist: this HSS version is equipped with a humbucker pickup, but also features various other modern characteristics like a flatter fretboard radius and larger frets. This guitar begs to be played, as it is a true player and a genuine workhorse that delivers a great performance, time and time again. It has a Silverburst finish with a black sunburst edge and is also available in Olympic White.

Fender Modern Player Stratocaster HSS: versatile sounds

HSS stands for Humbucker, Single, Single, indicating its pickup configuration. The Fender Modern Player Stratocaster HSS has a powerful humbucker pickup in bridge position and two single-coil pickups in middle and neck position, allowing it to create a wide range of sounds, from clear and sparkling cleans to a crunchy edge and rough leads. Like most Strats, this model has a master volume and two tone control knobs for filtering out high frequencies. Pulling out the bottom tone knob converts the humbucker to a single-coil for a fierce bite.

Cut from the right stuff

The Fender Modern Player Stratocaster HSS is made from alder, a lightweight wood type that provides a rich sound with an excellent balance between bass, mids and trebles. The vintage-tint neck is made from maple (true to Fender tradition) with a rosewood fretboard and has also received a modern makeover with 22 wide and high jumbo frets and a flatter 9.5 inch radius for more playing comfort. The guitar features smooth vintage-style tuners and tremolo bridge and a 3-layer black pickguard. It proudly brandishes the Fender spaghetti logo on its headstock.
