Description
For those looking for that Fatter than Fender Sound but with the form and function of the Stratocaster. The HSH Player Series is a players dream, especially for those looking to overdrive an amp. This pickup config was huge in the late 80's and early 90's. If you want a guitar with the most tonal possibilities, this is it! Coil tap the humbuckers, throw in an S1, turn the bottom tone into a blend and you got just about EVERY sound you'll ever need in one guitar!
The Alnico 2 Humbuckers are big sounding with superb articulation, some added compression and output to hit the input a bit harder. The Alnico 5 Single Coil has enough output to keep up with the buckers. The guitar still sounds great in positions 2 and 4 as well so you can still get some vowel-y quack out of this rock machine.
The neck is made from maple, carved to a modern c shape, topped with a Pau Ferro fingerboard that sports a 9.5" radius and 22 Medium Jumbo Frets. We love these necks and find them supremely playable. Slim in the 1st position with a nice taper that fattens as you climb.
Fender keeps building guitars for player's. With their eye on offering tons of features for not a whole lot of money, you can easily find the right Fender for whatever your needs may be. Take for instance, the Ed O'brien Signature model that offers endless sustain at the flick of a switch. Stop by the shop today and see what's new from Fender, all the way from Squier to Fender Custom Shop!

It’s ready to serve your musical vision, it’s versatile enough to handle any style of music and it’s the perfect platform for creating your own sound.
