Fender Player Series Lead III Metallic Purple PF Electric Guitar with Coil-Split
Product no: 9000-0059-3338 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

In 1982, the Fender Lead III was produced for but one year. This cult hero of a guitar has since become the prize-find on the second hand market and as such, Fender blow off 38 years worth of dust to offer us the Player Series reissue. Like its decade of birth, the Lead III will guarantee nothing but pure style, power and versatility while the compact and snug-feeling body, 25.5-inch scale length and traditional 9.5-inch fretboard radius make this uber-cool guitar a pleasure to play.

The Lead III: Surprising Flexibility

The no-nonsense approach of the two Fender Player Series Alnico 2 humbuckers, next to the fixed bridge with six block-saddles has all the feel of a DIY punk guitar. Combine this with the alder body and you're getting a forceful, shimmering sound, then mess with the 3-way coil-split switch to split the bridge, the neck pickups or both for more clean and detailed tone. Finishing the details of this '80s mythical beast is a set of classic F-logo machine heads.

Wrote the following about Fender Player Series Lead III Metallic Purple PF Electric Guitar with Coil-Split

Petite guitare mais le diapason est celui d'une strat normale. Le manche est confortable, la guitare est polyvalente grâce au séparateur de bobines qui fait du bon travail.
Les mécaniques sont précises.
Le chevalet fixe donne une bonne sensation de stabilité.
C'est une guitare qui a un grain rock qui s'illustre très bien sur des sons de type plexi.
Pour moi, c'est la guitare à tout faire, un vrai 4x4.
Sur photo j'étais sceptique pour la couleur, mais en vrai elle est vraiment stylée.
J'aime ce Fender lead 3.
