Overview
The Fender Player Plus Stratocaster Dark Night blends classic Fender Stratocaster character with modern high-performance upgrades designed for today’s demanding players. Part of Fender’s premium Player Plus Series, this Mexican-made electric guitar delivers enhanced playability, noiseless performance, and versatile tonal flexibility while retaining the unmistakable feel and sound that made the Stratocaster one of the most iconic electric guitars ever created.
Built with a contoured alder body, the Player Plus Stratocaster produces balanced resonance, articulate highs, and classic Fender snap suited to virtually any genre. The Dark Night gloss finish gives the guitar a sophisticated modern aesthetic while preserving the timeless Stratocaster silhouette and ergonomic comfort players expect from Fender instruments.
The satin-finished Modern “C” maple neck features rolled fingerboard edges and a flatter 12" fingerboard radius for an exceptionally smooth playing experience. Combined with 22 medium jumbo frets, the neck design allows effortless bends, fluid lead playing, and low-action setup capability ideal for modern performance styles.
Equipped with a trio of Player Plus Noiseless Stratocaster pickups, the guitar delivers classic Strat sparkle and articulation while dramatically reducing unwanted hum. Fender’s push-pull switching system adds the neck pickup into positions 1 and 2 for expanded tonal versatility, making the guitar equally suited to blues, rock, funk, indie, pop, and session work. Locking tuners and a 2-point tremolo bridge further enhance tuning stability and stage reliability.
