In this video, I share my experience with my purchase of a Fender MIM Player Series Stratocaster in a special run Sweetwater Exclusive. The color is called Transparent Saphire Blue and it is a really nice Strat. The overall specs of the original guitar are very similar to the Player Series other than the inclusion of a "roasted" maple neck and the special color. I did a few modifications to this for a couple reasons. First is playability, second was appearance. I describe all this in the video, but below are some links to parts that I swapped out in case you're interested in some of the same:
