Fender Player II Stratocaster, Maple Fingerboard, Black
Introducing the Fender Player II Stratocaster with a maple fingerboard — a perfect blend of classic Fender sound and modern playability, built for today's discerning musician. Crafted with a modern “C”-shaped neck profile and a 9.5-radius rosewood fingerboard featuring 22 medium jumbo frets, this guitar promises fluid, effortless playability, allowing players to breeze through even the most demanding riffs and solos.
At the heart of the Player II Stratocaster are Player Series Alnico V Single-Coil pickups, delivering the iconic Strat tone with a modern twist.

With a five-way pickup selector, players can easily explore a wide spectrum of tonal possibilities, making this guitar adaptable for any musical context.
Optimised for speed and comfort, the satin urethane finish on the back of the neck reduces friction, allowing players to glide effortlessly during long sessions or fast playing. Combined with a smooth gloss urethane headstock, the neck is designed to provide a sleek, comfortable feel for all types of guitarists.
The Player II Stratocaster is equipped with enhanced hardware that ensures exceptional tuning stability and performance. The two-point synchronised tremolo bridge with bent steel saddles allows for expressive vibrato effects without compromising tuning, making it perfect for both live performances and studio sessions. Fender’s ClassicGear tuning machines further contribute to precise tuning and stability, no matter how aggressive or delicate your playing style is.
With flexible tone controls, the Player II Stratocaster gives musicians the freedom to fine-tune their sound. The master volume control and two dedicated tone knobs allow for meticulous tonal shaping, while the separate tone controls for the neck, middle, and bridge pickups make it easy to adjust the brightness and character of your sound on the fly. This comprehensive control system ensures you have all the versatility needed to handle different genres and performance situations effortlessly.
Perfect for players seeking an instrument that balances classic tone with cutting-edge features, the Fender Player II Stratocaster delivers a refined, comfortable playing experience.
