How much does a Fender Player Stratocaster Cost?
Usually between $700 and $1000.
While there are many different versions of the Fender Stratocaster, the most common is the Player II series, which is usually between $700 and $1000 depending on the market and specific model. Another popular version is the American series Strats, which we'll also cover in the tables below.
There are a lot of different versions of the Fender Stratocaster, particularly signature and Custom Shop versions that vary widely in price. However, we're looking for a Fender Stratocaster price for the following two series:
- Player Series Strats
- American Series Strats
These are the two most common series in the Fender Stratocaster lineup. Focusing on them helps simplify our price guide and avoid skewing the numbers with high-priced custom models. Yet there are also a lot of variations within these two series, particularly the American models.
You have:
- American Ultra
- American Ultra Lux
- American Performer
You also have different pickup versions, some with a humbucker and some without, which impacts cost as well. But just note that we're sticking with the two most basic Stratocasters: The Fender Player Strat and the Fender American Professional II Strat.

Omitted Signature and Custom Shop Models
As I alluded to earlier, the Signature and Custom Shop Stratocasters have pricing structures that are usually much higher, especially the Custom Shop models. Since people buying those guitars are usually not looking to compare pricing, we've left them off this page. They would greatly skew the average anyways.

Hey Lila – that’s really bizarre. Is there anything when you take off the back panel, where you can see the electronics?
