Player-grade command

The foundational elements of the 70th-anniversary Player Stratocaster begin with a beautifully balanced body of alder that will make a remarkably comfortable fit for just about any guitarist who tries it on. That secure feel is enhanced further by a traditional maple neck, shaved to Fender’s modern “C”-shaped carve that brings plenty of fleet-of-finger maneuverability to the table. The final piece of the puzzle is a cut of gorgeous rosewood at the fingerboard, making ample room for navigating all 22 vintage frets across an addictingly smooth 9.5-inch radius that every axe-wielder can appreciate.

Pure Vintage ’59 single-coils

The 70th-anniversary Player Stratocaster doesn’t stop at tonewoods, however. In fact, its pickup armament is one for the ages! Three Pure Vintage ’59 single-coil Strat pickups line the body of the 70th-anniversary Player Stratocaster, promising an onslaught of old-school personality that’s been precisely engineered to exude the phenomenal tone and snappy response of the last of the ’50s single-coils. From the moment you plug in, these Alnico V magnets come to life with balanced brightness and a warm, round atmosphere. Put them to the test in just about any way you see fit, and you’ll quickly notice how perfectly their tone sits in mixes genre-wide.

Equipped for the spotlight

You need an axe that won’t let you down in the musical moments that matter most, and that guitar is the 70th-anniversary Player Stratocaster. Holding its intonation to performance-grade standards is a set of ClassicGear tuning machines, enabling you to play stress-free and as passionately as the moment demands on stages of all sizes. At the opposing end, Fender’s tried-and-true 2-point tremolo bridge awaits your every nuance with maximum expressive potential. Factor in its extremely natural and old-school string response that comes courtesy of a real bone nut, and we’d be hard-pressed to find another Player Strat that plays as beautifully as the 70th anniversary!
