An inspiring electric guitar with classic Fender tone and modern appointments.
The versatile Fender Player II Stratocaster HSS gives you classic Strat tone with modern refinements. Its chambered mahogany body resonates with warmth and depth, while the maple neck offers a smooth playing feel. The single-coil Strat pickups deliver shimmering highs and punchy mids, with an overwound humbucker in the bridge for fat lead tones. This guitar provides a perfect platform to craft your signature sound.
Chambered Mahogany Body Resonates with Depth
The chambered mahogany body enhances the natural tone of this iconic wood, creating resonance and richness across the tonal spectrum. Mahogany's depth and warmth provide an ideal counterpart to the maple neck's brightness. Together, these tonewoods yield a blend of sweet mids, tight lows and crisp highs that shape your sound with character. The body's contoured curves comfortably fit your body whether seated or standing.
Comfortable, Fast Maple Neck and Fingerboard
The Player II Strat HSS features a modern C-shaped maple neck and fingerboard for a comfortable, fast playing experience. The satin finish allows your hand to glide up and down the neck without friction. 22 medium jumbo frets provide ample space for complex chords and solos. Whether you prefer to play rhythm, lead or both, this neck is designed for any playing style. The synthetic bone nut and sealed tuners keep your guitar in tune through hours of playing.
Versatile Pickups Deliver Iconic Strat Tone and Fat Lead Sounds
This guitar features a pickup configuration designed for tonal versatility. The single-coil Strat pickups in the neck and middle position have the bell-like chime, punchy mids and quack Fender Strats are known for. An overwound humbucker in the bridge snarls with thick, distorted lead tones. Choose from single-coil spank, humbucker grind or a blend of both. A 5-way switch and master tone/volume controls provide pickup selection and shaping to suit any musical need.
Two-Point Tremolo Bridge Enhances Playing Feel
The Fender Player II Stratocaster HSS features a two-point tremolo bridge for smooth tremolo effects and solid tuning stability. The two fulcrum points let the bridge move freely while keeping strings in tune. You'll appreciate the enhanced playing feel of the two-point tremolo, which has less friction for a fluid tremolo arm response. The bridge also allows quick changing between alternate tunings.
