Fender Player II Stratocaster, Maple Fingerboard, Aquatone Blue

Say hello to a modern classic that drips with style and sings with unmistakable Strat swagger—the Fender Player II Stratocaster in Aquatone Blue. Drenched in a colour that looks like the Pacific kissed a ‘60s dream, this guitar isn’t just an eye-catcher—it’s a tone machine built for players who demand both heritage and innovation in one sleek, versatile package.

This Strat's alder body sings with that familiar Fender snap and chime, coated in a gloss polyester finish that adds both durability and a radiant shine. That delicious Aquatone Blue isn’t just a pretty face—it’s a callback to Fender’s golden era, now dressed up for today’s guitarist who needs their instrument to look as good as it sounds.

Slide your hand up the Modern “C” maple neck and you’ll feel the satin-finished comfort that invites hours of effortless play. The 9.5-inch radius maple fingerboard, now thoughtfully upgraded with rolled edges, offers a silky playing surface that feels broken in from day one. Whether you’re sliding through smooth licks or digging in for power chords, this neck delivers comfort and control in equal measure.

At its core, this Stratocaster is powered by three Player Series Alnico V single-coil pickups—a tried-and-true combination that delivers shimmering highs, punchy mids, and that tight, articulate low end we all crave. With a 5-way pickup selector, master volume, and two tone controls, the tonal palette is vast—ranging from bell-like cleans to edge-of-breakup grit and beyond.

On the hardware side, it features a 2-point synchronised tremolo bridge with bent steel saddles, giving you fluid vibrato expression and better tuning stability. Add in Fender ClassicGear™ tuners, and you’ve got a rock-solid setup that holds tune gig after gig, jam after jam.

This isn’t just a Strat—it’s the Player II Strat. Whether you're a tone-chasing bluesman, a funk fiend, a bedroom producer, or a weekend warrior on the Irish pub circuit, this guitar is built to serve. And yes—you’ll find it here at Musicmaker, where we know a great Strat when we hear (and feel) one.
