Sweetwater has teamed up with Fender to offer an exclusive new Player Stratocaster and Player Telecaster.
For the time being, buyers can pick up a Player Strat finished in Seafoam Green, and a Player Tele boasting a Sienna Sunburst colorway, exclusively via the music retail giant.
Otherwise, the two guitars are spec'd as per their standard Player Series counterparts.
The Strat boasts an alder body and a C-shaped roasted maple neck with a roasted maple fretboard. Sounds come by way of a trio of Player Series Alnico V Strat single-coil pickups, with the standard Strat control layout of a master volume and two tone knobs, plus a five-way blade pickup switch.
The Tele, meanwhile, also features an alder body and a C-shaped roasted maple neck with a roasted maple fretboard. The guitar is powered by a pair of Player Series Alnico V Tele single-coil pickups, with the standard Tele control layout of individual volume and tone knobs, and a three-way pickup switch.
The Sweetwater-exclusive Fender Player Stratocaster in Seafoam Green and Fender Player Telecaster in Sienna Sunburst are available now for $849 each, the same as their stock counterparts.

It isn't the first time in recent months that Fender has allowed a major gear retailer to offer one of its Player models in a beautiful exclusive finish. Back in October, Chicago Music Exchange announced that it would be offering a Player Jazzmaster in a stunning, CME-exclusive Pacific Peach.
