The Player II Stratocaster HSS exudes timeless Fender appeal, but underneath it's built for today's player. Everything about the neck is designed for fast, fluid playing, from the modern "C" profile with a silky satin urethane finish on the back to the comfortable 9.5-inch radius rosewood or maple fingerboard with smooth rolled edges and 22 medium jumbo fretboard. The body is available in your choice of alder, chambered ash or chambered mahogany, and is available in both classic Fender finishes and never-before-seen archival colors. Player Series Alnico V single-coil Strat® pickups and Player Series Alnico II humbuckers deliver crystal clear highs, musical mids and tight lows that elevate any genre. The 5-way blade switch lets you tune from the crystal clear sound of the neck pickup to the big boom of the bridge pickup and everything in between, while the 2-point tremolo and ClassicGear™ tuners ensure precise tuning stability and flexibility so you can explore endless sonic possibilities. Perfect for crafting your own sound, Player II Stratocaster HSS has the look, sound and feel that only Fender offers.
