Questions & Answers

What kind of strat is this? Is it Mexican or Japanese?

There's even a description in the game that says it's a Mexican Strat.

Does the pick guard and pickups have a cream or white finish? In the picture it appears cream, but on another site the same guitar appears white. Why is this?

Hardware along the windows and doors matches very closely in color to a very whitish cream. Aside from being pure white, it is not

What kind of strat is this? Is it Mexican or Japanese?

This is a Mexican strategy.

Can you tell me how a made in mexico is any different from one made in the USA, assuming the same hssquality, etc?

Fender guitars made in the U.S. are typically better handcrafted, both in terms of fret work and finish, and in terms of hardware and pickups. Aside from the resale vintage value, it's debatable however whether the extra cost is worth it.

Selected User Reviews For Fender Player Stratocaster HSS Electric Guitar - Maple Fingerboard - Aged Cherry Burst - Plus Top

The neck radius is 5 cm, which is very comfortable and easy for playing
4/5

For forty years, I have been using an American made Fender, but this time I decided to try an MX with the new Pau Ferro fingerboard. That was a delightful surprise! It was incredibly well played out of the box, with the string height, pickup height, and intonation being almost right. A forty-hour later, I took it out of my amp and put it away. I loved the Pau Ferro Fingerboard, it was so smooth and fast. The neck radius is 5 cm, which is very comfortable and easy for playing. As a veteran Statocaster who has played 57 through Elite strats, I can assure you that this Strat will keep up with them all. Is that why the stars are rated "4"? A buzzing sound could be heard in position 1 and 5 of the five-position switch. Why it is happening I am not sure, but I will figure In its current form, it is absolutely worth the money!.

This guitar is awesome! Box was packaged within a larger box that contained the original shipping Right out of the box, it had a very good tone
5/5

Due to my inexperience with the guitar, I am not the best person to judge Despite the price and the fact I was able to purchase online, I think that this strat is amazing for the price. If this is how a "made in Mexico" Fender Strat sounds, I cannot even imagine how much better an American Strat could sound. Everything went smoothly and I was very pleased. The moment I set out to speed several hundred people on line, I was mildly nervous, but no problems. This guitar is fantastic!.

This is an authentic Since I already have an American vintage Fender strat, I was surprised at the quality offered by an imported Out of the box, this Player Strat is set up well
5/5

At half the price, the Player series rivals the American Made series with its flame top finish, classic fender contours, and vintage style Alnico5 pickups. These modern additions help put the Player series above the Mexican Standard series. Despite their size, they have lots of bite and the This affordable Player Series Strat owes a debt of gratitude to Fender's innovative design and thoughtful manufacturing.

The quality of this product is great! As a strategic player since I was 15 (and still own that first one) I have purchased over 80 Strat machines
5/5

Initially, I was just a bit skeptical of this MIM model, but it has the same quality and as good sound as its made-in-the-USA cousin. Heck, it stays in tune even when I mess around My only modification was to replace the string tree with a TUSQ (and to add a second TUSQ for the third and fourth Having the ability to play and sound great is great.

My thoughts are with you! Despite the poor electronics, it is a very nice instrument for its price range
5/5

On a guitar for 750 dollars, I wouldn't expect custom shop quality, but the guitar sounds, looks, and feels good. There are no sharp or sprouting points or edges on fries. You did a great job there. The neckline feels a bit like a "C" rather than a modern C which is fine with me. The satin on the back is lovely. The strings were replaced with EB 10s, the tremolo was locked down, the intonation was adjusted, and the saddle and truss rod were adjusted. I would absolutely record with it whether I was on a stage or in a worship band. The investment was well worth it.

This guitar is an excellent value for the price
5/5

This is the sweet spot of guitars for me. You should spend enough money on the guitar so that it is of good quality and won't fail you too soon. At the same time, we keep them cheap enough that they can be stolen from a show without being as devastating as losing a custom shop or In light of this, I feel that the tier fender offers is the perfect tier.

Inspecting the quality of the goods
4/5

The guitar I bought from the Internet is not the first I've purchased. This was the first time I have received a box without packing material. No damage was caused by shipping. Luckily the boxes arrived unharmed. As for only 4 stars, I have noticed a blackened indentation that was finished over during manufacturing so I assume it occurred during production. The quality control is poor. However, I love the guitar other than that. It plays just fine right out of the box and has great pickups.

Buying a guitar can be a daunting task
5/5

Her boyfriend just gave her this electric guitar, and she is absolutely in love with As someone who owns guitars that are three times as expensive as this one, I understand Fender had to sacrifice to bring this guitar to market. The dollar price This is for I see no reason to complain about the build quality or guitar components for the dollar. In terms of aesthetics, the solid color, which was my daughter's choice, looks great and the paint job was well done. The guitar is a good starter guitar in general.
