Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Finished in Polar White, this Player II Stratocaster HSS uses an alder body, a maple C-shaped neck and a slab rosewood fingerboard. The neck and middle Player Series Alnico V single-coils cover the Strat’s sparkle and clarity, while the Alnico II humbucker at the bridge supplies added output, thicker mids and sustain for more saturated parts. A five-way blade organizes the available pickup combinations. Rolled edges, a 9.5-inch fingerboard radius, 22 medium-jumbo frets and a two-point synchronized tremolo keep the controls and playing surface straightforward.
