The Fender Player II Stratocaster brings the familiar Stratocaster formula into a modern player-focused design, with a left-handed configuration, alder body, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, and three Player Series Alnico V single-coil pickups. The 3-Color Sunburst finish keeps the look rooted in classic Fender style while the updated neck and hardware make this Strat comfortable for everyday playing.
The alder body provides a balanced foundation for the guitar's three single-coil pickups, while the maple neck and slab rosewood fingerboard give the instrument a traditional Fender feel. The 3-Color Sunburst finish adds a timeless look that works just as naturally on stage as it does in the practice room.
The Modern C maple neck is shaped for a comfortable, familiar feel without getting in the way when you're moving around the fingerboard. A 9.5-inch radius and rolled fingerboard edges add to the comfortable playing experience, while 22 frets and a 25.5-inch scale provide the classic Strat proportions players know.
This Player II uses three Fender Player Series Alnico V Strat single-coil pickups in an SSS configuration. The 5-way blade switch gives you access to the neck, middle, bridge, and combined pickup positions, while the master volume and two tone controls provide straightforward control over your sound.
The Player II Stratocaster is built around a practical combination of familiar Fender sounds and modern playing comfort. The three-pickup layout gives you plenty of tonal territory for clean rhythm parts, funk, blues, country, rock, and lead work, while the synchronized tremolo adds another layer of expression when you want it.
For left-handed players, the important part is simple: you get the classic Stratocaster layout and playing experience in a properly left-handed instrument rather than adapting a right-handed guitar.
