General

Fender's Player Stratocaster FR HSS is an electric guitar that can also handle heavier styles of music. It has a few modern twists that make it a little bit different to the other models in the Player series. This includes the Floyd Rose Double Locking Tremolo bridge that keeps the tuning in check no matter how many extreme vibrato effects you throw at it!

Player Stratocaster FR HSS

The fretboard has a relatively-flat radius of 12 inches which makes it easier to press down the strings. The alder body is home to three pickups which consist of a humbucker in the bridge position and two single-coils in the middle and at the neck. This combination gives you extra power whenever you need it and a broad range of Fender tones to work with.

Fender Player Stratocaster FR HSS
Wrote the following about Fender Player Stratocaster FR HSS
Met gemak besteld en snel ontvangen. Ik blij met de gitaar, op het podium doet deze strat zijn werk goed en oogt ook goed. Met de trem op de body blijft de gitaar ook goed op stemming. Onervaren mensen voor een Floyd Rose.. Het is een uitdaging dus houd er rekening mee dat het een redelijk complex systeem is waar je mee moet leren omgaan. Voor snaren vervangen/afstellen moet je mogelijk naar de winkel. Bax heeft gelukkig ook een service youtube filmpje waarin gitaar specialist (Thms Goes) praktische uitleg geeft over Floyd Rose. Ik heb meerdere gitaren gehad met Floyd Rose-brug en kan ze zelf scherp afstellen of van nieuwe snaren voorzien. Mooi van kleur en door de 22 fretten zeer gemakkelijk de hoogste tonen er op zetten. De 5-weg schakelaar heeft ook nog een klein geluid verrassing extra voor je. Als ik deze ter hand neem, wil ik die niet zomaar meer loslaten. Bestel info, verzenden, service deze keer heel goed ervaren. Ik kan je deze Fender Player Stratocaster FR HSS zeker aanbevelen!
