Fender Player Stratocaster with Maple Fretboard 3-Color Sunburst 2022 (Upgraded!)

Here we have a superb example of a 2022 Fender Player Series Stratocaster finished in the ever-classic 3-Colour Sunburst, a look that never goes out of style and perfectly complements the timeless contours of this iconic model. Built in Mexico as part of Fender’s hugely popular Player lineup, this Strat delivers everything you’d expect, versatility, comfort, and that unmistakable Fender sparkle, while benefiting from a thoughtful and practical upgrade.

The alder body provides a balanced tonal foundation with plenty of resonance, paired beautifully with a smooth maple neck and maple fretboard that offer a snappy, articulate response. The modern “C” neck profile feels instantly familiar in the hand, making it equally suited to chords, lead work, and extended playing sessions. The 9.5" radius and medium jumbo frets allow for easy bending and a contemporary playing feel without losing that classic Strat character.

Equipped with its stock Player Series single-coil pickups, this guitar covers a wide tonal range, from glassy cleans and crisp funk rhythms to punchy blues and driven rock tones. The 5-way selector switch provides all the expected Strat sounds, with positions two and four delivering that signature quack. The synchronized tremolo bridge operates smoothly and adds expressive vibrato when needed.

A standout feature on this particular instrument is the inclusion of upgraded Fender locking tuners. These significantly improve tuning stability and make string changes quick and hassle-free, a welcome enhancement for both gigging musicians and home players alike. The original tuners are not included, but the upgrade is a clear step forward in functionality.

Condition-wise, this guitar is in excellent shape. It has been well cared for, showing only minimal signs of use, with no significant dings or damage to note. The frets are in great condition with plenty of life left, and the electronics function exactly as they should.

This Strat comes complete with a tremolo arm, all original case and box candy, and is housed in a quality aftermarket Tourtech Deluxe gig bag, offering solid protection whether you’re heading to rehearsals, gigs, or simply storing it safely at home.

A fantastic opportunity to pick up a modern Stratocaster with a classic look and a useful upgrade already in place, ready to go straight into your rotation.
