Player Series Strat MN TPL : Amazing guitar for the money

I wanted to get myself a new guitar and after a bit of online searching decided to get myself a strat. I've never had a Fender guitar before and I knew very little about them so I went to the store and A/B some guitars. This one stood out the most, I compared it to the old MIM Standard cause there still was one in the store and the difference is immense. This guitar feels better made, sound more like a strat should thanks to those alnico pickups and overall feels like a much more expensive instrument. I also got to compare it to American Professional Stratocaster and it is incredibly similar, of course AmPro rings out a bit longer and is a bit nicer and comes with a nice case but I couldn't justify the price difference. I couldn't find a better looking, playing,sounding or feeling Strat in that price range. I recommend it with all my heart to anyone looking for inexpensive but marvelous instrument
