I have a player strat myself(Not plus)
I tried this in a guitar shop and bought this for my lefty friend. If you are in the market for a Fender strat, this is the one it should be.
Mexicans models are much better now compare to past and i think USA models are not justifying 1000 Euros difference these days. I tried them side by side, material, neck, craftsmanship is really close. Americans still have that feeling and vibe but im not sure if i can tell the difference blind folded.
Coming back to this one.
Compare to non plus,
coming with noiseless pickups( they are very very close to regular ones except no hiss)
12 inch neck which is very comfortable,
Fret work is much better, almost like USA.
Push/pull for bridge+neck
2 point tremolo
So, if you are in the market for one, definitely go for the plus, worth the difference, There are HSS versions as well.
Why i bought the player in the first place, i got it cheap back then thats why, I'm still craving the Olympic white plus.
Have fun.
