Blend vintage tone and modern playability with the Fender Player II Stratocaster HSS.
The Fender Player II Stratocaster HSS Rosewood Fingerboard Limited-Edition Electric Guitar delivers versatile and articulate Fender tone for the modern player. Whether you're looking to achieve crystal-clear cleans, shimmering leads or crunchy distortion, the Player II Strat HSS is up to the task. The alder body and maple neck provide a solid foundation for the three Player Series pickups—a humbucker in the bridge and two single coils in the middle and neck positions.
Fast, Comfortable Playing Feel
The modern "C"-shaped maple neck with a 9.5" radius rosewood fingerboard plays fast and feels familiar the moment you pick it up. Its silky satin finish allows your hand to glide smoothly up and down the neck without hindering your fretting hand. The medium jumbo frets make it easy to articulate notes and chords clearly. Whether you have small or large hands, you'll find the Player II Strat HSS a comfortable guitar to play.
Mix and Match Your Sound
With a humbucking bridge pickup and two single-coil Strat pickups, you can blend tones to create your signature sound. The humbucker delivers punchy lows and singing sustain, perfect for rock and metal. The single-coils produce the bell-like highs and quacky midrange the Strat is known for, ideal for blues, country and funk. A 5-way switch makes it easy to select pickups and dial in the right tone for each part of your performance.
Updated Tremolo for Stability and Smooth Action
The Player II Strat features an improved two-point tremolo bridge with enhancements for playing feel and tuning stability. The bridge has less friction against the posts so the tremolo arm moves more freely for warbling effects and chordal embellishments. Upgraded saddles also improve string-to-string balance for consistent output across all six strings. The end result is a tremolo system that's very responsive yet helps keep your guitar in tune during aggressive playing.
