Fender Player Series Strat MN BCR

As good as a MIA

I have a USA made American Standard Stratocaster Midnight Blue I bought new 1993 in NYC and this yellow Mexican beauty is as good as the "real deal".

Awesome sound, pleasant to play, very good quality and is really pretty!

Much more that I expected.

For the price this is the best guitars I've had. Fretwork, finish and quality control was astonishing all around. Everything was set up well out of the box, I did some small changes to the trem tension and was very surprised by how neatly everything was set up in the back cavity. All in all everything is as expected, and if there's something you don't like it's easy enough to mod. Personally I'll put some locking tuners on mine, since the tremolo action tends to set it out of tune real quick.

Brillant

Guitar is brillant. I'm not a strat player as such . But wanted a decent one for my collection and why not a Mexican . Neck is comfortable and feels great.

Great guitar

Everything was great out of the box!

The guitar has its own pros and cons, but generally it didn't disappoint me.

First of all the color of guitar is absolutely stunning, real it looks even better than in picture, color is pure yellow.

Guitar sounds really well, but I have nothing to compare in that level, I had Squier before. So I can confidently say that Strat has much richer and solid timbre and sound.

The sixth string had a little buzzing, but I picked up bridge of that string and now it sound normally and purely.

I was worried a little bit about electronic noise when I was touching strings. After consultation with professionals and owners of Fender I came to the conclusion, that it’s probably absolutely normal for Fender guitars who has a single coil pickup, especially if you live in Eastern Europe in old houses with bad grounding in the circuit.

I’m happy with my guitar, and I will keep it with all the pros & cons.

Nice guitar but..

The guitar arrived with scratches on the pickguard hidden under the protection film. I was disappointed and tried to remove them but the

result was even worse and I replaced the pickguard with another one that I had at home.

I like it

It needed some adjustments when it came, but the bridge and the neck were very easy to set up. No problem at all, and the sound is very sweet.

This Fender MIM strat needs more work than three of my Harley Bentons (two electric one acustic).Guitar came with all tipical Fender flavs that i thought they menaged over the years.No sustain at all-two thick stickers in neck pocket, one on neck other in pocket that needed to be peel off, screw holes for neck to small- I drilled bigger so that neck can be thightened(screws cound not move free thru pocket holes), frets cutting in my hand -needed sanding, very poor quality tuners that I replaced with 22 euro Klusons that are ten times better than Fenders.I was very disapointed by this Strat, could not believe what Fender sells for 600 euros maybe more.

Blown away

Amazing smooh and polished frets, glass like finish so gorgeus (could just watch it for hours). Definetly prettiest maple neck I have seen. Amazing clear sound, great pickups and very resonant as a whole. Only con of this guitar is the setup. It has been playable but far from what it can do after few days of setting it up.

Stunning guitar

Absolutely stunning guitar. Pure Fender Stratocaster. Nothing can be added.
