A lightweight, resonant Stratocaster with classic tone and modern appointments.
The Fender Player II Stratocaster delivers classic Stratocaster sound and style for today's guitarist. Its chambered ash body produces a light, resonant tone, while the maple fingerboard and neck provide a familiar feel. The Player II Stratocaster's trio of single-coil pickups serve up crisp articulation and a chime that has shaped decades of music.
Chambered Ash Body Resonates Freely
The Player II Stratocaster's chambered ash body allows tones to bloom with richness and depth. Ash is a traditional Stratocaster wood that provides balanced, articulate sound. Chambering the body makes it lighter while allowing the wood to vibrate more freely, enhancing resonance and sustain. The contoured shape nestles comfortably against your body, inspiring hours of playability.
Maple Neck and Fingerboard for Classic Feel
The Player II Stratocaster's maple neck and fingerboard provide the smooth, fast feel that Strat players love. Maple contributes tight lows and crisp highs to complement the ash body. Its modern C-shaped profile fits comfortably in your hand, while the 9.5" radius fingerboard enhances playability. 22 medium jumbo frets give you room to bend and hold notes clearly. Overall, the neck and fingerboard design blends modern and vintage aesthetics for versatile performance.
Player Series Pickups Serve Up Quintessential Strat Tone
The Player II Stratocaster features a trio of Player Series single-coil pickups for authentic Fender tone with a touch of modern edge. The neck pickup provides warmth and roundness. The middle pickup adds punch and presence. The bridge pickup delivers bite and definition. Together, they produce the chime, clarity and touch sensitivity that the Stratocaster is known for. A 5-way switch gives you instant access to all tonal combinations.
Additional Premium Appointments Complete the Package
Premium details enhance the Player II Stratocaster's performance and style. An updated two-point tremolo offers smooth travel and solid tuning stability. Master volume and tone controls provide flexible shaping of the pickups' sonic character. The 3-ply pickguard, knurled chrome knobs and F-stamped neck plate proudly display the Fender pedigree. From top to bottom, the Player II Stratocaster proves that Fender quality and vibe need not be expensive.
