Fender Player II Stratocaster HSS Maple Fingerboard (Cactus Gray)

The Player II Stratocaster HSS brings together iconic Fender design with modern performance enhancements that serious guitarists demand. This stage‐ready instrument features a Modern "C"‐profile maple neck with silky satin urethane finish and your choice of slab rosewood or maple fingerboard, both sporting a comfortable 9.5" radius with smooth rolled edges and 22 medium jumbo frets for fast, fluid playability across the entire fretboard.

Available in alder, chambered ash, or chambered mahogany body configurations, the Player II Stratocaster HSS offers an impressive palette of finishes ranging from classic 3‐Color Sunburst to archive‐inspired colours like Hialeah Yellow and Aquatone Blue. The versatile pickup configuration pairs Player Series Alnico V single‐coils in the neck and middle positions with an Alnico II humbucker at the bridge, giving you everything from crystalline clean tones to aggressive overdrive. The 5‐way blade switch unlocks a wide range of tonal options, while the 2‐point synchronized tremolo and ClassicGear™ tuning machines provide rock‐solid tuning stability.

With its gloss polyester body finish, nickel/chrome hardware, and thoughtful appointments like dedicated tone controls for both the bridge humbucker and neck/middle pickups, this guitar is built for players who need professional performance without compromise. Strung with Fender USA 250L nickel plated steel strings (.009‐.042), the Player II Stratocaster HSS is ready to plug in and play straight out of the box.
