Fender has updated its workhorse Stratocaster® with contemporary appointments that address the needs of modern players without abandoning the blueprint that made this electric guitar a stage and studio staple. The Player II Stratocaster® features a Modern "C" neck profile finished in smooth satin urethane on the back, paired with a 9.5"-radius fingerboard that rolls comfortably at the edges and hosts 22 medium jumbo frets for effortless bends and fast runs. Body options include alder, chambered ash, and chambered mahogany, all dressed in finishes that span both familiar Fender colours and period-correct hues retrieved from the company's archive.
Three Custom Shop Fat '50s Single-Coil Strat® pickups deliver glassy treble response, defined midrange and tight low-end articulation across the frequency spectrum. The 5-way blade switch provides access to the full tonal palette—from the shimmering clean sounds of the neck position to the aggressive bite at the bridge, plus every in-between combination. A 2-point tremolo system maintains pitch stability during vibrato work, while ClassicGear™ tuners hold intonation through extended playing sessions. This roasted maple fingerboard model arrives in Olympic White, combining vintage aesthetic cues with hardware reliability designed for consistent stage use.
