A limited-edition Player Strat in Daytona Blue is already eye-catching, but the HSS pickup configuration makes it more versatile than a standard SSS Strat. The bridge humbucker handles heavier rhythm work and lead tones without the single-coil noise that can be frustrating in high-gain situations. The two single-coils up front preserve the classic Strat quack and sparkle.

Daytona Blue is a racing-inspired color that sits between a vivid cerulean and a deeper ocean blue depending on the light. Maple fingerboard for a bright, snappy response. Alder body, 9.5" radius board. A limited run that combines a distinctive color with a more practical pickup layout. Act quickly on this one — limited editions sell through and don't come back.
