Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Rather than a solid alder body, this White Blonde Player II Stratocaster uses chambered ash, a construction described as lighter and more freely resonant. Three Player Series Alnico 5 single-coils feed a five-position blade switch, moving from the warmer neck pickup through the middle and bridge voices to the combined settings. The contoured Stratocaster body rests against the player for extended playing. Its maple C-shaped neck, rolled-edge slab rosewood fingerboard, 9.5-inch radius, and 22 medium-jumbo frets form the stated playing platform for bends and vibrato.
