Musician's Friend has the Fender Player Stratocaster HSS Plus Top Limited-Edition Electric Guitar in Blue Burst for $599.99, with free shipping and 8% Musician's Friend rewards.
This is slightly higher than a previous deal from 9 weeks ago, but these are new not open box. (At least they're supposed to be. This is Musician's Friend we're talking about.)
Great option for a really attractive Strat with more versatility thanks to the bridge humbucker. The lower tone control also applies to the bridge pickup.
Finally, this is a Player Strat, not a Player Plus. The "Plus" goes with "Top".

edit: i guess most people think of a super strat with at least 1 humbucker and a fully floating tremolo. Oh well
Where I disagree is that one should buy a guitar EXPECTING to replace/upgrade significant components. Some people just love doing that, and that's fine. For myself, I don't really want the hassle of buying a new guitar, buying a new pickguard (cut for a humbucker in the bridge position), finding and buying a decent sounding humbucker with mounting screws compatible with the new pickguard, and then the subsequent expense or effort of unmounting, unsoldering, soldering, re-mounting, re-installing, while making sure you keep polarity and windings straight, get the tone control the way you want, etc. If you pay for this work, it's going to be a good $200 plus the pickup with anyone you'd trust to do it, less whatever you could sell a Fat 50's bridge pickup for by itself. A friend had his $2k Kiesel utterly ruined by a local guitar store technician who was changing a pickup.
The Player series pickups are perfectly usable mainstream pickups. I've heard what good players get out of them. Are the Fat 50's pickups better? Very possibly, but much of their sound is going to depend on the player.
