The combination of the warm vintage-inspired finish, parchment plastics and maple board gives it a timeless Strat appearance without straying into outright vintage reissue territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt its heart are three Player Series Alnico 5 single-coil pickups, delivering everything you want from a Strat. The bridge is bright and articulate, the neck has that unmistakable rounded Strat warmth, while positions two and four bring the glassy, hollow tones these guitars are famous for. From blues and funk through to indie, pop and classic rock, it’s an incredibly versatile setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Modern “C” maple neck is comfortable and immediately familiar, paired with a 9.5” radius and 22 medium jumbo frets for a noticeably more contemporary playing feel than a vintage-spec Strat.
