I have a '96 MIM strat I bought new in a music shop that I've been playing for 25+ years. They play and sound nearly identical. The '96 is a bit louder, and has the pickups set closer to the strings. I may play around with the pickup height on this new guitar to get more punch.
The biggest difference between the 2 is that the newer Player Strat's knobs look cheaper. The ones on my '96 have a green patina (maybe from copper in the paint?), and just look more crisp.
Overall, good quality and arrived ready to play!

It came well packaged. Mine is Polar white. I didn't attach the tremelo bar for these pics. The case is my old fender case not to confuse anyone it didn't come with the guitar.
Every aspect of it is 100%. The finish is perfect and it's incredibly beautiful. Everything is set up to play. Neck is straight, frets seem fine. Bridge is floated and she seems to hold pitch but I only do mild dives at best.
Over-all I'm very happy, not one imperfection. And it sounds great so far. For now my old MIM is my player. This one I'll work in slowly. I'll know in time if I need to tweak anything but so far she seems great.

After unboxing, and taking a closer I see that there is no damage to the paint or fretboard. No flaws in the paint or neck.
Upon further inspection, I noticed the
Tremelo block was drilled incorrectly for the tremelo bar and causes the tremolo bar to sit too far forward. I dont use the tremelo bar so its not an issue for me especially with the discount I received. Also another note is that the string alignment is very slightly off where the low E string is closer to the edge of fretboard causing it to come off the fretboard on aggressive bends. Loosening the Neck screws and slightly resetting the neck should fix this. After playing it the neck feels very comfortable and the sound is very good! For the price I paid I am satisfied with my purchase. The issues that exist can be corrected with minimal effort.
Update: The return may be easy, but your money may be gone for an entire month on this one. They don't refund when product is pickup. You have to weight for the entire process to be done before getting your funds back. If I would have known this I would not have ordered through Amazon. It was the only reason I did order through Amazon. Very disappointed. I should have went through Sweetwater!

The frets feel great and the pickups get the glassy strat sound that you can't find in cheaper models. There isn't much I can say about this guitar that hasn't been said; if you're on the fence about owning a Stratocaster, this is the absolute best "bang-for-buck" you will get.
This guitar has been my go-to for gigs and playing live as it sounds great, has lots of versatility; and for the price, I can't feel guilty about banging it around a bit while transporting it/playing.
The only complaint I have about the guitar is that when I received it, there was a TON of buzzing from the low E string although after changing the saddle height, I was able to get rid of it. I'd like to think that this was a result of being shipped in the winter, and not a quality-control issue at Fender as it was a bit disappointing to not be able to play it straight out of the box like I had hoped.
My advice is to buy this from an actual guitar store where you're not rolling the dice on how it's set up.
Overall, this guitar is definitely a permanent instalment in my collection and I can definitely see myself having it forever. If you're looking for a studio-quality guitar that can also act as a work-horse for gigging, this is the best deal that Fender has come out with in a long time....... but go buy it from a local guitar store ;)
