Fender Player Plus Stratocaster® Left-Handed

Classic Stratocaster Tone with Modern Left-Handed Enhancements

The Fender Player Plus Stratocaster® Left-Handed is a premium electric guitar designed specifically for left-handed players, blending iconic Fender style with modern upgrades for superior playability and tone. Crafted in Fender’s Ensenada, Mexico facility, it’s ideal for left-handed guitarists across Australia seeking a versatile, hum-free Stratocaster experience. Available in finishes like Olympic Pearl, Tequila Sunrise, and 3-Color Sunburst, it combines classic aesthetics with contemporary performance.

High-Quality Performance

The Player Plus Stratocaster Left-Handed is engineered for modern players:

• Alder Body: Delivers a balanced tone with brilliant highs, focused mids, and smooth lows, perfect for rock, blues, pop, and more.
• Player Plus Noiseless™ Pickups: Three single-coil pickups provide classic Stratocaster chime—bright and touch-sensitive—without 60-cycle hum. A push-pull pot on Tone 2 adds the neck pickup to switch positions 1 and 2, offering two unique tonal configurations not typically found on a Strat.
• Modern “C” Neck Profile: Features a maple neck with a silky satin urethane finish, paired with a 12”-radius maple or Pau Ferro fingerboard and 22 medium jumbo frets with rolled edges for fluid leads and choke-free bends.
• 2-Point Synchronized Tremolo: Equipped with six steel block saddles for superior intonation, sustain, and tuning stability, delivering smooth vibrato effects.
• Locking Tuners: Provide rock-solid tuning and quick string changes, ideal for live performance and studio recording.

Users praise its hum-free pickups and comfortable neck, with a Music & Arts review noting, “The Noiseless pickups are a game-changer for clean and high-gain tones, and the neck feels like butter”. Some note the 12” radius may feel flatter than traditional Strats, requiring adjustment for players used to a 9.5” radius, and the tremolo may need setup for heavy use.

Durable and Stylish Design

• Finishes: Available in Olympic Pearl (maple fingerboard), Tequila Sunrise (Pau Ferro fingerboard), and 3-Color Sunburst (maple fingerboard), with a 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard and aged white plastic parts for a modern-retro look.
• Weight: Approximately 8.0–8.5 lbs, ensuring comfort for extended play.
• Hardware: Nickel/chrome, with locking tuners, a 2-point tremolo bridge, and a synthetic bone nut (1.685” width) for durability and tonal clarity.
• Build Quality: Bolt-on maple neck, maple or Pau Ferro fingerboard with black dot inlays, and a solid alder body for stage-ready reliability.

Backed by a 2-year warranty, it’s built to last. Available at retailers like Fender.com, Reverb, Sweetwater, and Australian stores like Store DJ or Mannys Music, with prices around $999.99 USD (£869 GBP).
