Meet the Player II Modified Stratocaster® HSS — a modern reimagining of a timeless classic, crafted for today’s versatile guitarist. This upgraded Strat delivers the iconic Fender feel, tone, and style you know and love, enhanced with high-performance features tailored for contemporary players.
The neck is built for speed and comfort, featuring a Modern “C” profile with a silky satin urethane finish on the back that glides effortlessly in your hand. Choose between a 9.5"-radius slab rosewood or a 1-piece maple fingerboard, both offering smooth rolled edges and 22 medium jumbo frets for a fast, fluid playing experience across the board.
Its alder body provides that classic Fender punch and resonance, dressed in a bold selection of eye-catching finishes. At the heart of its tonal engine is a high-output Player II Modified humbucker, delivering articulate power for heavier styles, balanced perfectly with Noiseless™ Strat single-coils that give you that signature chime and clarity—without the hum.
Need even more sonic range? A push/pull tone knob splits the bridge humbucker, letting you tap into bright, snappy single-coil tones for added versatility. Whether you're chasing vintage tones or modern textures, this guitar adapts effortlessly to your style.
Hardware-wise, it's built for rock-solid reliability: a 2-point synchronized tremolo with a chamfered block allows for smooth, expressive pitch control; short-post locking tuners, a TUSQ® nut, and a modern string tree work together to ensure exceptional tuning stability and intonation.
Whether you're performing, recording, or exploring new sounds, the Player II Modified Stratocaster® HSS is a premium workhorse that combines heritage tone with modern muscle. This is the Strat refined — sleek, versatile, and ready to elevate your playing.
