This is a Strat with hss pickups. I chose Aquatone blue. Very nice. It is a Player 2 model. I have a Player 1 as well. The rolled fretboard edges become more noticeable as time goes by. A little Les Paul tone growls from the bridge humbucker. My biggest concern is string changing as they use classic style tuners. I am afraid the 1st and 2nd strings might pop out of the cylindrical slot, making string changes difficult. You've heard of 'back to the future'? Fender went ahead to the past.This is a great guitar and at the time Fender had a 10% discount that screamed my name. I am glad I bought it.
