Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The 3-Color Sunburst Player II Stratocaster HSS pairs an alder body, Modern C maple neck and slab rosewood fingerboard with a broader pickup setup. Alnico V single-coils at the neck and middle provide sparkle and clarity, while the Player Series Alnico II bridge humbucker brings increased output, thicker mids and sustain for overdriven parts. Its five-way blade preserves multiple pickup choices, and the rolled fingerboard edges, 9.5-inch radius, 22 medium-jumbo frets and two-point synchronized tremolo support contemporary playing techniques.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players moving from clear neck and middle single-coil parts to higher-output bridge sounds in one guitar.
- Rhythm and lead work that benefits from five pickup selections, including bridge-and-middle and middle-and-neck combinations.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who require an SSS, three-single-coil pickup configuration.
- Anyone expecting a case or gig bag to be supplied.
