Fender went back to the drawing board to design a Stratocaster with more historically accurate body shapes, new vintage-inspired finishes, and a classic logo that harkens back to earlier Fender Stratocasters. But Fender also looked to the future, incorporating modern improvements including a 22-fret fretboard, medium-jumbo frets, upgraded bridges for improved sustain, and new Alnico pickups that better convey the classic Fender tone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eAlthough the original Stratocaster was introduced more than 60 years ago, it is more popular than ever. The Player Stratocaster combines the guitar's sleek, elegant lines with the perfect blend of vintage and modern. It starts with the classic comfort-contoured alder body, a high-gloss polyester finish, a 3-ply parchment pickguard, and a trio of Alnico 5 and Alnico II pickups. The original Strat's controls consisted of a master volume plus two tone controls, leaving the bridge pickup without a tone control; but on the Player Strat, Tone Control 1 works for both the neck and middle pickups, while Tone 2 is dedicated to the bridge pickup. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eLeo Fender designed the original Stratocaster with three single-coil pickups, which made it possible to produce tones that no other guitar could produce—especially after guitarists discovered that they could place the era's 3-way pickup selector in the in-between positions, giving them access to the polarity-reversed neck\/middle and bridge\/middle pickup combinations that produced the characteristic \"quack\" that many seek in their Stratocaster today. On the Fender Player Stratocaster HSS, Fender departs from the classic pickup configuration and replaces the rear single-coil pickup with an Alnico II humbucker. You still get two sweet-sounding single-coil pickups so you can achieve that sparkling Strat sound. But you also get an Alnico II humbucker so you can expand your tonal palette with fuller and more aggressive rhythm and solo licks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eTo give the Fender Player Stratocaster the playability that satisfies the modern electric guitarist, Fender has equipped the Player Stratocaster with a comfortable modern C-shaped maple neck and a 9.5″-radius fretboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets. The neck is treated with a satin polyurethane finish that feels comfortable to hold and does not get \"greasy\" after hours of playing. With its sleek body contours and highly playable neck, it is no wonder that the Fender Stratocaster has remained one of the most popular electric guitars for decades.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53602099626322,"sku":"FEND-0144523506","price":6899.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1069\/9256\/6610\/files\/0144523506_gtr_frt_001_rr-1-scaled.jpg?v=1780101138","url":"https:\/\/akustikken.dk\/en\/products\/fender-player-stratocaster-hss-pau-ferro-fingerboard-black","provider":"Akustikken","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
