Fender Limited Edition Player Stratocaster HSS Black with Ebony Fingerboard

Fender Limited Edition Player Stratocaster HSS Black with Ebony Fingerboard – The Player Series is designed for guitarists after authentic Fender style and tone at an accessible price-point. And of course, there’s no instrument from Fender that’s more iconic than the venerable Strat! With a timeless look, versatile electronics and ready-to-rock hardware — the Strat is a logical choice for any guitar player looking to cover multiple genres.

This limited edition FSR (Fender Special Run) model gives you all of the flexibility of a stock Player Strat HSS, but comes supercharged with a silky-smooth Ebony fingerboard and a sleek matching black headstock and knurled chrome knobs!

With a modern HSS pickup configuration, you get all of those classic stratty tones with some extra grit from the bridge position humbucker for heavier rock tones.
