Check the neck profiles the elite might be a C neck knowing fender

#

Size, the fretboard might have different radius,

#

And maybe different finish

#

Look at the website of you know try out the guitars

#

The neck profile is always listed on guitar store sites and well a big way to tell is to try out the guitars

#

That’s the fretboard radius

#

Not really the lower frets have a radius of 9.5 and at the higher frets it get flatter do the 14” radius

#

Ok

#

Iirc 335 have pretty chunky necks

#

Fender neck would be thinner

#

I don’t know cause idk the neck profile

#

I’m assuming both are some version of a C neck

#

It’s about the middle ground of necks not super thick but not super think

#

Then there’s modern C which is a bit thinner

#

That’s for you to decide

#

I can’t tell you that cause each person likes different necks

#

That’s not at all what I said play both compare both and see what neck you like best

#

Play tons of Strats to find the one you like

#

There’s hundreds of options for strat style guitars

#

Fender , squier, charvel, Ibanez just to name some

#

No the elite is a modern D while player is modern C

#

The only similarity is they’re both made of maple

#

Player is going to feel very different in terms of overall shape, and more importantly comfort

#

Player won’t have rolled fret edges

#

The joint is also different, though how much that actually matters is debatable

No

maybe the finish is different

The equivalent of the elite now is the ultra series.

#

I'd see if you like any other fender necks, try them if you can. I like the ones on the American Performer and Professional. Deep C is kinda chunky but still fairly comfortable.

#

D is nearly what Charvel has, just a little thicker.

#

doesn't tell me what you have lol

#

#

WHAT GUITARS YOU HAVE

#

ok so that's 2/4

#

alright so it might be worth getting a new strat then, it'd probably not have the D profile but the fender C is also still pretty good

#

the FSR players are usually decent

versed shoal
#

Still guitars

#

is it just the profile you're after or generally something better?

#

it'd feel like a strat

#

the C necks are still good

#

though there's a difference between the mexico ones and american ones

#

i find the american ones a little better

#

i have a player and a performer and they technically have the same profile, but feel different

Yes there would
