A sonically flexible electric guitar with authentic Fender style and feel.
The Fender Player II Stratocaster HSS chambered ash electric guitar gives you authentic Strat tone and feel in an innovative hollowbody design. Combining a chambered ash body with three Player Series pickups, this guitar delivers the crisp single-coil Stratocaster sound you know and love as well as full, warm humbucking tones. The maple neck's comfortable Modern C profile and 22 medium-jumbo frets make expressive soloing and chording easy. For enhanced playability, this Strat features a two-point tremolo with solid tuning stability and a 9.5" fingerboard radius. With five versatile pickup selections, master volume and tone controls, the Player II Stratocaster HSS Chambered Ash provides a sonically flexible platform for crafting your own signature sound.
Hollow Ash Body Resonates and Sustains
The chambered ash body of the Player II Stratocaster HSS Chambered Ash gives this guitar a natural acoustic resonance while reducing weight. Ash is a dense, rigid wood that produces a clear, balanced tone with piano-like bass, warm mids and shimmering highs. Chambering the body enhances the wood's natural resonance, resulting in impressive sustain and acoustic-like ring. A contoured heel allows easy access to the upper frets. This innovative hollowbody design provides the comfortable, familiar feel of a solidbody Stratocaster with expanded sonic capabilities.
Comfortable Neck and Modern Appointments
The maple neck has a smooth satin urethane finish and contours that comfortably fit your hand. Its Modern C profile strikes a balance between chunky and slim for a feel that suits most playing styles. 22 medium-jumbo frets provide ample space for expressive soloing and chording. Other modern features include a synthetic bone nut, sealed tuning machines, dual-wing string tree and four-bolt F-stamped neck plate. Together with the two-point tremolo, these components give you exceptional tuning stability and a familiar, roadworthy Strat setup.
Pickups for Iconic Strat Tone and Full Humbucker Warmth
This guitar's three Player Series pickups include two crisp single-coil Stratocaster pickups in the neck and middle positions as well as a full humbucking bridge pickup. The single-coils deliver the distinctive bell-like chime, punchy mids and glassy highs that have defined the Stratocaster sound for decades. The bridge humbucker serves up warm, rounded humbucking tone that's perfect for rock and blues. A 5-way pickup switch lets you access each pickup alone or combine the inner and outer pickups for extra sonic variety.
Roadworthy and Ready to Inspire
Built for the stage, the Player II Stratocaster HSS also makes a great studio guitar. It features a synchronized tremolo bridge for expressive string bending, dual-wing string tree, sealed tuners and four-bolt neck plate. Timeless Fender aesthetics include single-ply pickguard, Fender "F" tuner buttons and neck plate. Plug in, turn up your amp and make your musical mark with this inspiring, handcrafted instrument.
