I find this weird. I just got my Buttercream Player strat today and it came with nothing else but the guitar itself. No trem bar, no hex key for truss rod and saddle adjustments, nothing. Just the guitar. I understand that the case or gig bag may or may not be included, but the trem bar?

Anyone bought the Player as well? Did it come with a trem bar?

Interesting...
The case/gig bag is not included at that price level (lowest with a bag is the $800 range).
But it should include a tool/hardware pack with trem bar, paperwork, and hex keys.

Out of curiosity, member "jackhammer" was asking... does yours have a "Limited Edition" sticker on the back of the headstock?

If a trem bar was pictured (which I am sure it was), it would be included unless they specifically said "not included" which would be stupid. Call whoever you bought it from to get it - my guess is that you will get the hex tools too.

I would agree, should have come with truss / saddle hex wrenches and a trem bar.

where did you buy this from? local store? online merchant?

UPDATE:

The guitar COMES with the trem bar and all adjustment tools. The staff who sold it to me wasn't working in the guitar department of the shop and the person she asked about the trem bar was barely two weeks into the job. I complained to the store manager who was dumbfounded when he learned I was sold a strat without a trem bar, and his exact words were "I have been working here for 20 years and haven't seen a strat getting sold without a trem bar..." Really nice guy. Handed me the trem bar and adjustment tools right away.

So its all good now. The guitar has a small paint blemish, as in two black dots not bigger than the size ball point pen dots. Hardly noticeable unless you inspect every square millimeter of the guitar. Got 5% off. All's well that ends well. :-)
