Fender Player Series Strat PF PWT 5-stars Reviews

Great!!

After about a year and a half I can sometimes hear "click" on whammy when I use it. Other then that its perfect.

THIS IS GREAT

it feels like american model. It is smooth and great sounding. I was afraid because i tested the same model on a store and the fretboard on the edges was sharp. Though at least the one i received is smooth like butter

Surprisingly good guitar for the buck!

I'll be really short about this, as there are better reviews and videos on it.

After a year of playing this guitar, it has never disappointed me, made me feel cheated or have anything break on me. This new series and the switch to Alnico pickup is a bliss. The sound is very comparable to the American made strats, and so goes for the build. the neck is firm, the fingerboard is easy to play on (with some extra care, it runs through your fingers like butter).

It has surprised me that a Mexican series could be this better than an American. It has fooled a lot of my friends that have grabbed it and made them think it's an american made.

By far i haven't had anything break or disappoint me.

I greatly recommend this guitar for anyone on a budget.

A pretty pretty nice guitar

Got this delightful little strat instead of a Player Series Jaguar that came with a terribly buzzy setup and some tremolo issues and was sent straight back. As flawed as the Jag was, the Strat is a pretty decent player right out of the box. I played it for ten minutes and took it straight to the tech for a decent setup. After tech dressed the sharpish fret ends and polished the fretboard edge, replaced the nut for a tusq one and did a proper setup, I'm a hundred euros lighter but the guitar is a joy to play: perfect neck fit, neck a bit chunkier than my old MIM strat and very comfortable to play, trem holds tune very well despite the fact that I have it set up to float. Pickups are very clear and articulate, but depending on the sound you're looking for they might be lacking a bit in the lows / low mids -- I love them for home use / quiet stuff, but they're missing a bit of hair for my rock band basement rehearsals and I'll probably swap them out for something grittier soon -- which is of course the whole point of buying a basic Mex strat: you tweak 'em till they fit.

Pros:

- quality piece of kit, perfectly finished and very nicely put together;

- neck plays great, pau ferro fretboard looks and feels great;

- trem holds tune well.

Cons:

- needs a decent (personalized) setup;

- pickups sounding clear but rather thin.

For the money, it's a bargain of course, and if you're looking for a basic (but genuine) Fender strat to tweak into perfection (whatever that may be), you can't go wrong with this one.
