Fender Player Stratocaster Sonic Red 2018

Fender Player Stratocaster Sonic Red 2018

The world-standard electric guitar, Fender Stratocaster. The Player Series『Player Stratocaster Sonic Red』, which carries the "Fender" brand while remaining at an accessible price point, has arrived! This is a 2018 model with a weight of 3.37kg.

Features a refined Sonic Red alder body. Modern C-shape maple bolt-on neck with a 9.5-inch radius pau ferro fingerboard equipped with medium jumbo 22 frets and simple white dot position inlays. One of the Strat's defining features, the tremolo bridge is equipped with a 2-point support type that offers superior rigidity compared to the traditional 6-point support type, enabling smooth tremolo action.

Equipped with three Player Series Alnico 5 Strat single-coil pickups in an orthodox SSS configuration. Classic sound with excellent high-end ring, punchy mids, and powerful low-end, combined with crisp, clear tones. The two tone knobs control the neck & middle pickups with one, and unusually for a Strat, the bridge pickup tone with the other. Working in tandem with the 5-position blade switch, this versatile instrument caters to all musical styles, serving as an excellent platform for creating diverse and original sounds.

An excellent Strat with remarkably good value for money—quintessentially orthodox Fender. Sweet tones on the front, crispy sounds in half-tone positions, and powerful punchy rear tones. Recommended for anyone regardless of genre. Perfect for those wanting to play all styles. A versatile model suitable for beginners through advanced players, and excellent as a secondary instrument.
