Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Hialeah Yellow gives this right-handed Player II Stratocaster its finish, but its working layout is the familiar passive SSS format: three Player Series Alnico V single-coils, a five-way blade switch, master volume and separate tone circuits for neck/middle and bridge pickup groups. The alder double-cut body is joined to a maple Modern C neck with a rolled-edge maple board, 22 medium-jumbo frets and 9.5-inch radius. A two-point synchronized tremolo with bent steel saddles gives the instrument pitch-control capability alongside its five pickup selections.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rhythm and lead parts that benefit from five selections across three Strat single-coil pickups.
- Players using tremolo pitch effects alongside a standard 25.5-inch-scale Stratocaster layout.
- Studio or stage guitar work requiring separate tone control for the bridge pickup.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players seeking humbucker pickups or a non-tremolo bridge.
- Left-handed players.
