Modern "C" shaped neck
The Player II Stratocaster is designed with a Modern "C" profile neck that is optimised for guitarists who value speed and comfort. This neck shape allows for fast play without sacrificing the classic feel that many musicians seek. The back of the neck is finished with a smooth satin urethane, reducing friction and making it easier for players to glide along the fretboard during long sessions or fast passages.
Player Series Alnico V pickups
Equipped with Fender's Player Series Alnico V Single-Coil Strat pickups, this guitar offers a sound that can only be described as quintessentially Stratocaster yet evolved for modern ears. These pickups produce crystal clear highs, full-bodied mids, and robust lows, making the guitar versatile across various genres from blues to rock to jazz. The five-way pickup selector switch provides an extensive range of tonal possibilities, allowing musicians to find their perfect sound.
Enhanced hardware
The Player II Stratocaster features a two-point synchronized tremolo bridge with bent steel saddles, a design choice that significantly enhances the guitar’s expressive capabilities without compromising tuning stability. Combined with Fender ClassicGear tuning machines, players can enjoy smooth vibrato effects and reliable performance whether in the studio or live on stage.
Flexible tone controls
The Player II Stratocaster is equipped with a master volume control and two dedicated tone knobs, allowing for meticulous sound shaping. Tone 1 affects the neck and middle pickups, while Tone 2 is designed for the bridge pickup, providing players the flexibility to fine-tune the brightness and character of their sound. This comprehensive control setup ensures that players can easily adjust their tone on the fly, catering to different musical styles and performance contexts.
