The Player II Modified Stratocaster® brings together iconic Fender heritage and modern performance upgrades, crafted specifically for today’s forward-thinking guitarists. It delivers the unmistakable tone and style of a Strat®, infused with refined features that make it a true workhorse for the stage, studio, or jam room.
Engineered for speed, precision, and comfort, the neck of the Player II Modified Stratocaster is where modern playability shines. The sleek Modern “C” profile is paired with a smooth satin urethane finish on the back, offering a friction-free feel ideal for fast runs and dynamic chording. Choose between a 9.5"-radius slab rosewood or a 1-piece maple fingerboard, both featuring rolled edges and 22 medium jumbo frets, providing a broken-in feel that’s instantly familiar and inviting.
The alder body retains that legendary Fender resonance and punch, now available in an exciting range of fresh, standout finishes that blend classic style with modern attitude. Under the hood, a set of Player II Noiseless™ pickups delivers the timeless Strat® sparkle and articulation—minus the hum—giving you pristine tones whether you’re clean or cranked.
For players seeking tonal versatility, the cleverly designed push/pull tone control on the second knob expands your soundscape by introducing the neck pickup into switch positions 1 and 2. From warm, bluesy neck tones to bright, cutting bridge sounds, the tonal range is truly expansive.
Built with reliability in mind, the hardware setup includes a 2-point synchronized tremolo for expressive bends, short-post locking tuners, a TUSQ® nut, and a modern string tree—all working in harmony to deliver rock-solid tuning stability. The chamfered tremolo block offers increased travel, allowing you to explore deeper and more nuanced vibrato textures.
Whether you're crafting your next big riff, laying down tracks, or taking the spotlight live, the Player II Modified Stratocaster® is a bold evolution of a timeless classic—ready to push your playing to new creative heights.
