The power trio of Player Series single-coil pickups are crisp and articulate - it's authentic Fender tone with a modern edge. The "Modern C"-shaped maple neck's comfortable contours and smooth finish are ideal for almost any playing style. And it's now easier than ever to express yourself musically with the addition of a 22nd medium jumbo fret to the contemporary 9.5"-radius fingerboard. The updated 2-point tremolo design has smoother travel for enhanced playing feel while simultaneously giving you rock-solid tuning stability since there's less friction against the posts.
Other features include master volume and tone controls, a 5-way pickup switch, 3-ply pickguard, synthetic bone nut, dual-wing string tree, sealed tuning machines and four-bolt "F"-stamped neck plate that marks this instrument as the real deal - as Fender as it gets. Own your tone and create something new with the Player Stratocaster.

It has been rented out which I didn't know and didn't know to ask.
I bought a Kramer and then returned it and bought a Jackson the next Saturday after the Kramer. Both really great instruments. But not as great as the Fender Player HSS in my opinion. I had mentioned to Solomon about the "Player" coming in 2022 that is HSH and he told me about this HSS Player that had been rented out for 14 days. It was that "Player" that I had really wanted.
I am delighted and grateful for how things worked out.
Polar White with an Alder Body. Not a Rosewood finger board but equal and not an endangered species of wood.
This guitar was twigged by Jason in the store and works really really well. That is one of the things the first time I played it that it stuck with me. It just works so well.
Thanks L&M

The initial set up wasn't perfect but being confident in adjusting it myself I got it set up to my preference with no problems and no surprises. The combination of materials on my particular instrument results in a tone far beyond anything I've had before, albeit I fully understand that not every guitar of this model will be the same. The fact that it resonates and reacts so well increased the time that I put aside for practising, my audiences have noticed the difference in my tone and my own style now truly comes through.
The neck pickup is great for blues and deep tones, responds amazingly to pick attack. I use the middle and an acoustic sim amp setting to get a true acoustic sound. The humbucking bridge pickup has its own tone control. I use it more than any strat bridge pickup I've played in the past. Leads, bright chorus tones and tele type spank if you pick close to the bridge.
Middle positions sound exactly as expected, a sound that attracted me to strats in the first place. Overall the tonal diversity is great.
I use the trem on several songs. I never have in the past due to tuning issues. I usually tightened bridges down or blocked them. After hours of playing the tuning does not change. This has actually added a new dimension to my playing.
I've owned several guitars. This is the first one I've considered writing a review for. Long and McQuade has a great rental policy. Definitely try before you buy. (Although I didn't this time)

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
