Fender Ltd Ed Player Stratocaster HSS Plus Top MN (Blueburst)
This is a beautiful looking instrument and though I paid more for the plus top and Sienna burst I'm delighted with it. The bridge humbucker takes nothing from the tone but provides a substantial boost for soloing with or without distortion. The craftsmanship is superb and on a par with the more expensive American models I've owned in the past. I gave only four stars for sound but a little height adjustment of the middle and neck pickups has cured my misgivings. A great guitar.

Great price, really well set up, well packed for delivery, and delivery time has been the fastest from the time of order. Well done to you all as I am so thrilled with my purchase. Be safe at this time and best wishes from Michael in Ireland. SLAN....

For 7-8 months i 've been playing with a beginners guitar (an Epiphone which costs approximately about 100€). I really wanted to upgrade my guitar as it was really difficult to play and the tones of my previous one was very dull. When i first plug the Fender Player HSS in my Boss Katana 50 mkII i was really impressed by the tones of it. In my opinion the biggest difference from my previous guitar is that the neck of Fender is absolutely gorgeous and very comfortable to play. The pickups are very versatile with the addition of the humbacker in the bridge position. The only downside is that it came with some minor flaws in the neck and the body. Other than that the guitar feels and plays great and I'm sincerely happy with my new guitar.
