Some adjustments necessary but overall extremely solid Stratocaster.
5 Stars
Some adjustments necessary but overall extremely solid Stratocaster.
First off, I have read stories of bad fret sprout on entry-level Fenders. I was happy to see the neck on this guitar is fantastic. My last Classic Vibe Telecaster's neck was gritty on the frets and too sticky on the back. This Player's neck is the exact opposite. The frets are perfectly polished, and the back is a wonderful satin finish that makes moving up and down the neck easy.I thought I'd have to change the nut out for a Graphtech, but the factory nut actually was cut very well, and the action measured at the 2nd fret was just what it should be for my preferred 9-46 Hybrid Slinkies. It took a few turns of the truss rod to reduce the neck relief to an acceptable level, which is expected. I personally just cut off a few strings in the middle and measure at the high and low E, then change the whole set. After doing this I noticed action wasn't unusually high, but full note bends across the neck were still possible, which to me means the saddles were set up quite well and there were no high frets. I'll be returning the Graphtech that I assumed would be required.I'm not sure why they chose a black pickguard for the maple neck model. With the lightness of the neck and the burst gradually getting lighter towards the center of the body, my eye expects it to be lightest in the very middle. I made it so with an aged white pearl pickguard from Kaish and I think it works better. I think the white plastic pickup covers and knobs still are close enough to aged white pearl to not look out of place.The jack was probably the weakest part of the entire guitar. My cable constantly slipped out no matter how hard I plugged it in. Fortunately, I happened to have a puretone jack that grips your cable with 4 different prongs, so I popped it in as part of my pickguard swap... though I did have to drill a tiny groove out of the inside jack cavity to make room for the tip. But once I did that it stayed put.The tuners are absolutely fine, but I did upgrade to staggered Fender locking tuners, which are a drop in replacement with the same two little grooves for each tuner in lieu of screws. I just put them on and am expecting they will hold tune better when using the tremolo.So this guitar goes as low as $600 on sale, and for that price you get a hopefully excellent maple neck, very acceptable electronics and pickups, and a flame maple finish, albeit a subtle one. There are many different types of replacements that could work in my mind, if you agree that a lighter pickguard works better. Parchment, White, White Pearl or Aged Pearl are all good options in my mind. Be prepared to adjust a few things, but the a playable neck, was what I cared about most, because you're touching that the most, and that's certainly what I got.So if you're as lucky as I was, no changes to the default nut or frets will be necessary to start playing, just fresh strings and a few turns of the truss rod. Maybe have a decent input jack handy just in case, though?

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Guitar
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2023
This is my first Fender guitar and I must say it exceeded my expectations. I have a Squire, Ibanez, Gretch and Yamaha but this guitar became my favorite right of the bet. Sounds really good on my Boss speaker without any pedals. I love the clean tones as well as distraction ability. Stratocaster design makes it really comfortable to play. Fretboard is finished with gloss polyurethane which makes it look cool and helps your fingers to move between cords. That cherry color is amazing but that’s more of a personal preference. Quality is superb. All I had to do is tune it. Sounds great straight out of the box. I highly recommend it.

Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2021
Just my second guitar and only been playing a year now. Been playing blues harmonica for 30 years and after home from covid closure at work, bought the strat and has been a blast learning guitar. No better guitar for the money. Also found a guitar strap that matches guitar perfect. I'm a newbie but having so much fun with my first strat.
