Independent shopping perspective
Blue Burst and a flamed maple veneer set the visual direction for this limited-edition Player II Stratocaster HSS Plus Top. Underneath is an alder body, maple neck and maple fingerboard. Its HSS arrangement places a Player Series Alnico 2 humbucker at the bridge with Player Series Alnico 5 single-coils in the middle and neck, selected by a five-position blade. Separate tone assignments for neck/middle and bridge pickups give each side of the layout its own control.
