The inspiring sound of a Stratocaster is one of the foundations of Fender. Featuring this classic sound - bell-like high end, punchy mids and robust low end, combined with crystal-clear articulation - the Player Stratocaster is packed with authentic Fender feel and style. It's ready to serve your musical vision, it's versatile enough to handle any style of music and it's the perfect platform for creating your own sound.

The power trio of Player Series single-coil pickups are crisp and articulate - it's authentic Fender tone with a modern edge. The "Modern C"-shaped maple neck's comfortable contours and smooth finish are ideal for almost any playing style. By adding a 22nd medium jumbo fret to the contemporary 9.5"-radius fingerboard we've made it easier to express yourself musically. The updated 2-point tremolo design has smoother travel for enhanced playing feel while simultaneously giving you rock-solid tuning stability since there's less friction against the posts.

Other features include master volume and tone controls, a 5-way pickup switch, 3-ply pickguard, synthetic bone nut, dual-wing string tree, sealed tuning machines and four-bolt "F"-stamped neck plate that marks this instrument as the real deal - as Fender as it gets. Own your tone and create something new with the Player Stratocaster.

I got this guitar from the Edmonton North store a month ago. It's a lot of fun to play! Big Pink Floyd fan, so it's great to finally be playing a real strat. I love my Les Paul, but it just can't do the strat sound for me. The stock pickups sound great! I do plan on replacing some electronics and hardware, but it is not necessary at all if you are just looking for a nice strat sound. Overall amazing guitar.

J’ai louer cette guitare pendant environ un mois et je suis très content des résultats de cette guitare. Cette guitare m’a aidé à avoir la piqure de la musique et de découvrir plusieurs styles de musique à cause de sa versatilités. En résumé c’est une bonne guitare de débutant qui est très fiable et fun a jouer

Bought a 'slightly used' model in Bedford. I have owned 'Mexican Strats' and 'Squire Strats' before, but this Player Series is a real winner. I love it. A keeper!

Metal player since ever, i also like playing blues sometimes by the past, using my Ltd Ec-1000. Pretty good guitar but with this new Strat its and all new world to explore. After couple hours playing, i quickly understand blues can now reach a all new level. I just can believe how easy and great it sound for the money, passing neck to bridge is just unbelievable. I bring this strat to my lutheran day one, file the fret just a bit and got an absolute perfect guitar. True single coil (no push/pull like the Ltd) its an all new way to play guitar. I never play a US Strat before, but i can't figure how US could sound and play better

This guitar is extremely high quality. Looking it over very closely, it really is stunning. Fit and finish are top notch: frets, neck, fingerboard, body -- everything. I was expecting the set-up to be way off but the neck relief was perfect and the action was right at 4/64". I ordered it online and got an assist from John in the web store; great service and the delivery was lightning fast -- I was butchering SRV riffs the day after I put the order in for this guitar! Can't beat that. If you're hesitating because this is a made in Mexico guitar, rest assured these guitars look, feel, play and sound every bit like a USA model.

Wonderful guitar. Although made in Mexico, it loses nothing to an American Fender. Letterhead on an amp or played with a pedal set looks just like an American Fender. I recommend this guitar. Great price for what that guitar offers.

Had mine for a month now and my only problem is putting it down. Feels amazing to play and sounds great. It's very light and comfortable but feels super-solid construction-wise. The pickups sound great and having tone control for the bridge pickup is awesome. It's an amazing guitar especially at the price they are asking.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
