Fender Player Series Stratocaster in Tidepool finish

This is a Fender Player Series Stratocaster electric guitar, identified by its modern Tidepool blue metallic finish and 'Player Series' specific hardware. The instrument features a solid contoured alder body with a high-gloss polyester finish. It is equipped with a bolt-on maple neck and a matching maple fingerboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets and black dot inlays. The electronics configuration is a classic 'SSS' setup, consisting of three Player Series Alnico 5 Strat single-coil pickups, controlled by a 5-way blade switch, a master volume knob, and two tone knobs (white aged plastic). A distinctive feature is the 2-point synchronized tremolo bridge with bent steel saddles, which offers improved tuning stability compared to vintage 6-screw designs. The guitar is paired with a white 3-ply pickguard and chrome hardware. Based on the model specifications, it was likely manufactured in Fender's Ensenada, Mexico factory (MIM) between 2018 and the present. The condition appears to be excellent and well-maintained, with no visible dings, lacquer checking, or significant fret wear. Behind the guitar, a Fender Champion 40-watt combo amplifier is visible, suggesting a modern rehearsal setup. The craftsmanship reflects contemporary mass-production standards with tight neck-pocket tolerances and high-quality synthetic finishes typical of the Player line.
