As much as I love the classic look of a Strat or Tele, I’ve always had a soft spot for Fender’s offsets. That’s why I picked up my Fender Jazzmaster 60th Anniversary model a few years back, and it’s why I still lust after Fender models like the Jaguar, Mustang and Duo-Sonic. It’s also why I think the Player Plus Meteora HH is one of the hottest-looking electric guitars to come from Fender in recent years.
And if the offset shape rocks your world, right now is the perfect time to add the Meteora to your collection, whether you’re a guitarist or bassist. That’s because Sweetwater is offering $160 off select electric guitar models and $170 off basses during Black Friday. While four finish options are available for the guitar and three for the bass, here are the two that caught my eye.
The Player Plus Meteora HH looks fantastic in this Fiesta Red finish with pau ferro fingerboard. The guitar sports an alder body, maple neck, two-point tremolo, a pair of humbucking Fireball pickups for a guitar that combines classic styling with modern features and a versatile tone palette. The guitar is also available in with a pau ferro fingerboard, with maple fingerboard, and with maple fingerboard.
Player Plus Active Meteora bass with 3-tone Sunburst finish looks classic, while its active/passive electronics expand its tonal palette to suit a range of modern tones. The alder body and maple neck and fingerboard are a classic combo, while the three-band EQ and pair of humbucking Fi.
