A contemporary take on iconic Strat tone and playability.
The Fender Player II Stratocaster guitar lets you craft classic Strat tone with modern refinements. Its trio of Player Series single-coil pickups deliver crisp articulation and Fender's signature bell-like highs, punchy mids and robust low end. The comfortable Modern C-shaped maple neck and 22-fret maple fingerboard provide a smooth playing experience for intricate solos or complex chords. Upgraded features include a two-point tremolo bridge for solid tuning stability and enhanced playing feel, as well as master volume and tone controls to shape your tone.
Smooth Modern C Neck Profile
The Player II Stratocaster's maple neck features a comfortable Modern C profile. Rounded edges and a satin urethane finish provide a smooth feel ideal for almost any playing technique. The 22-fret maple fingerboard gives you room to explore the neck's full range. Whether you prefer to shred solos, strum full chords or play rhythm, this neck offers a familiar feel that most players will find instantly playable.
Player Series Pickups Provide Classic Tone
The Player II Stratocaster's pickups provide the unmistakable tone that made the Stratocaster an icon. Articulate and balanced, the single-coil pickups capture Fender's recognizable chime and sparkle with a modern twist. From genre-defining clean tones to overdriven rock leads, these pickups deliver the goods. A 5-way pickup switch lets you select neck, neck and middle, middle, middle and bridge or bridge pickups for a range of Strat sounds.
Versatile Tone Controls
Shape your tone with the Player II Stratocaster's master volume and tone controls. Dial in the perfect amount of high end sparkle or low-mids warmth to suit any amp or playing situation. Additional tone control comes from the 5-way pickup switch, which provides a variety of tonal combinations from the three single-coil pickups. Whether you want classic Strat quack or full-bodied humbucker-like tones, this guitar delivers the versatility you need.
Updated Two-Point Tremolo Bridge
Player II Stratocaster features an updated two-point synchronized tremolo bridge with vintage-style bent steel saddles for solid tuning stability and enhanced playing feel. The two-point tremolo design reduces friction for a smoother tremolo arm action. Bent steel saddles intonate accurately while adding a touch of vintage vibe. Keeping the bridge in tune is a breeze thanks to the tremolo's precise engineering.
