The Fender Player II Series Stratocaster HSS assembles a classic variation on the Stratocaster formula. Mixing elements of Stratocasters old and new, this model delivers on many stylish and tonal levels.

A classic Fender Stratocaster formula appears on this Player II Series model. Starting at square one with a classic alder body, this Strat plays with solid resonance and sound. Working as a sort of sonic palette from which that classic Stratocaster tonality can spread, this body is outfitted for dynamic tonality and easy mobility. This models Modern C-shaped maple neck is matched with a slab rosewood fingerboard measuring with a radius of 9.5. Twenty-two Medium Jumbo frets line the board for quick fretting and comfortable playing across the full the 25.5 scale length.

The sonic engine of this Stratocaster is constituted from a combination of two Player Series Alnico 5 Strat Single-Coil pickups in the neck and middle positions and a Player Series Alnico 2 humbucker in the bridge position. Together, these pickups create an exciting spectrum of tones from which to pull. Fender ClassicGear tuners and a synthetic bone nut make for easy stringing and intonation while a 2-point synchronized tremolo bridge adds the expressive vibrato bends usually found in Strat playing.

As a classic variation on the Stratocaster equation, this Player II Series model presents new avenues through which players can express themselves.
