Used Players sell on Reverb for more than this new price. Don't know where you're getting your info.

No, not sucks. Nobody can see the future. As long as those who bought last month for $100 more keep playing their gutiars. The cost difference, amortized over 10, 20, 30 years is nothing.

If you are on the fence, this might be as cheap as it gets for a while.

These are on sale several times a year. You really have to want it. It'll be a hard to get rid of at a later point.

I bought one of these last time they went on sale for this price from Adorama and it showed up with a dead pickup. It was covered under the fender warranty although it took 60 days for Fender to send the new pickup.

You could have just exchanged at Adorama. I've had good experiences with their customer service. I bought the Tele last year, no issues. Beautiful guitar.

Looking to pick up my first guitar. How does this guitar compare to this one:

https://slickdeals.net/f/16157749-fender-player-stratocaster-hss-electric-guitar-pau-ferro-fingerboard-polar-white-659-99?src=SiteSearch

worth the extra money for that one?

Just depends on if you'd rather have a humbucker or single coil in the Bridge position. Other than that (and color), they are the same guitar.

As much as this shows up on here makes it feel not so limited.

I didn't notice the bad pickup till a few months after the purchase.

Yeah I have been shopping for a player/player plus for a few months... having seen anything new this cheap, and yep the used ones I have seen are around this price or a bit more (but I feel like might be able to get one for less OBO)

To add to what mtcameraguy said, you will want that polar white one if you're interested in playing rock or metal as it has a humbucker pickup that would allow to you achieve that tone better than this guitar, which only has single coil pickups.

That one has HSS while this one has SSS. You can check Youtube vidoes on sound differences. The H(umbucker) will sound thicker/muddier than the S(ingle coil); but H'll have less noise than S so you can up the gain more. Traditional strat is SSS. I'd get the SSS unless you know you want the HSS (then again, some people think HSS is more flexible, i.e. more sound options). Am I making it more difficult for you to pick or easier? hahaha. Either way, I think you'll be OK.
