Product Description

Limited Edition Sparkle Strat – Classic Feel, Modern Flex

If you want a Strat that pops on stage and still feels familiar under your hands, this Fender Limited Edition Player II Stratocaster Sparkle hits that sweet spot. It is all the glassy chime and snap you expect from a Fender, with a finish that looks like someone turned the lights up to eleven.

The alder body keeps things balanced and punchy, while the modern neck, electronics, and hardware make it the kind of guitar you can drag to any gig and know it will just work. This one is brand new, covered by the full factory warranty, and already set up in our shop so it is ready to go straight into the set list.

Alder Body With Sparkle 3 Color Sunburst

The alder body gives you that classic Fender recipe – tight low end, present mids, and a top end that stays sweet instead of brittle. It is the sound that drops into a mix without fighting the rest of the band.

That Sparkle 3 Color Sunburst gloss finish is pure stage candy. Under lights it shimmers and shifts, but up close it still feels like a familiar Strat, not some novelty piece. The gloss polyester keeps it tough and ready for the long haul, night after night.

Modern C Maple Neck That Stays Out Of Your Way

The Modern C neck profile is one of those shapes that disappears in your hand. Slim enough for quick runs, but with enough shoulder that you can dig in on chords without cramping up.

Fender’s satin urethane on the back means no sticky gloss slowing you down, while the gloss front looks right under stage lights. The maple fingerboard with a 9.5 inch radius and 22 medium jumbo frets gives you smooth bends, easy vibrato, and clean intonation all the way up the neck.

Player Series Alnico 5 Pickups – The Strat Sound On Tap

The three Player Series Alnico 5 Strat single coils serve up everything from glassy neck tones to punchy bridge bite. Alnico 5 keeps the attack crisp and articulate, so your dynamics and picking actually matter.

With the 5 way switch you get all the classic Strat positions, including that quacky 2 and 4 that sit perfectly for funk, worship, and tight rhythm parts. Roll the volume back and it cleans up with glassy clarity, or push it into gain and it sings without turning to mush.

2 Point Trem And Rock Solid Hardware

The 2 point synchronized trem with bent steel saddles feels smooth and responsive, so you can add shimmer or waggle chords without fighting the bridge. Paired with the synthetic bone nut and standard cast sealed tuners, tuning stability stays solid as long as you do your part with strings and setup.

Nickel chrome hardware and the 3 ply parchment pickguard keep the look classic and clean. At 7 pounds 15 ounces it has enough mass to sustain and bloom, but it will not wreck your shoulder on a long set.

Factory Fresh, Dialed In By Real Players

This Strat is brand new, with full factory warranty and our eyes on every detail. Before it leaves Moore Guitars it gets our Player-Perfect setup, so the action, intonation, and trem feel are gig ready right out of the box.

This specific guitar is serial number US22002074, sitting in our Evansville, Indiana shop waiting for its first gig. If you are chasing a Strat that can cover Sunday morning, Friday night, and the studio in between, this one is ready to clock in.

The Lowdown

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

Real talk: this Limited Edition Player II Stratocaster takes the proven Player formula and turns the vibe up. You still get the alder body, Modern C neck, and Player Series Alnico 5 pickups, but that Sparkle 3-Color Sunburst finish gives it serious stage presence. If you want something that feels instantly familiar but does not look like every other Strat on the stand, this is the move.
The Modern C is slimmer and more consistent front to back than most vintage profiles. It fills your hand enough for comfortable chords but stays quick for leads and modern playing styles. If vintage chunky necks ever felt like too much, this will feel like home in about 30 seconds. Combined with the satin back, it is a very easy neck to live with for long sets.
The sparkle is bold under stage lights but tasteful in normal room light. It is layered over a classic 3-color sunburst, so it still reads as a Strat, just with extra depth and shimmer. If you want something that stands out without crossing into gimmick territory, this finish hits that sweet spot.
Those Player Series Alnico 5 pickups love pedals and gain. Think classic rock, blues rock, worship, pop, even lighter modern rock without any problem. If you are going into extreme metal territory you will probably want humbuckers, but for everything up to that, this Strat will do the job with clarity and punch.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
This guitar is covered by our 14-Day Return Policy. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
If you order before 3 PM CST on a weekday, it ships the same day. We’ll get it into your hands fast with free, insured 2-3 day shipping.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
