DESCRIPTION
Step into the spotlight and experience the iconic Fender® sound and style with the Player II Stratocaster® HSS—a stage-ready guitar packed with modern upgrades to boost your performance and inspire your playing.
The Player II Stratocaster HSS radiates timeless Fender charm, but under the hood, it is built for today’s player. Everything about the neck is designed for fast and fluid playability, from the Modern “C” profile with a silky satin urethane finish on the back, to the comfortable 9.5”-radius rosewood or maple fingerboard with smooth rolled edges and 22 medium-jumbo frets. Choose from alder, chambered ash, or chambered mahogany bodies available in both classic Fender finishes and never-before-seen colors pulled from the archives. Player Series Alnico V Single-Coil Strat® pickups and a Player Series Alnico II humbucker serve up crystalline highs, musical mids, and articulate lows that can handle any genre. The 5-way switch lets you dial in everything from glass-clear neck pickup tones to a powerful bridge roar and all points in between. A 2-point tremolo bridge and ClassicGear™ tuning machines ensure precise tuning stability, giving you the flexibility to explore endless sonic possibilities.
Perfect for crafting your own sound, the Player II Stratocaster HSS has the look, tone, and feel you need to do it all. Only Fender does it this well.
