Fender Player Stratocaster® HSS, Maple Fingerboard, Tidepool

The Fender Player Stratocaster HSS in Tidepool (0144522513) delivers classic Strat feel with the added power of a humbucker, wrapped in one of the most modern finishes Fender offers. Tidepool brings a cool metallic blue shimmer that looks bold under stage lights and clean in natural light, giving this Strat a contemporary edge while keeping its timeless silhouette. Paired with a smooth maple fingerboard and a fast modern “C” neck, it’s built for comfort, speed, and expressive playing.

A Player Series Alnico V humbucker in the bridge gives this model its extra muscle—perfect for rock, worship, pop, and high‑gain tones—while the two Alnico V single‑coils in the neck and middle deliver classic Strat sparkle and clarity. The 2‑point synchronized tremolo offers smooth vibrato action with improved tuning stability, and the 22 medium‑jumbo frets paired with a 9.5" radius make bends, chords, and lead lines feel effortless. This HSS configuration makes the guitar far more versatile than a traditional SSS Strat, giving you everything from glassy cleans to thick, punchy drive.

Reliable, expressive, and unmistakably Fender, the Player Stratocaster HSS is a professional‑grade instrument at a working‑musician price. Tidepool adds a modern, eye‑catching aesthetic that sets it apart from classic finishes—perfect for players who want a Strat that looks as bold as it sounds.
