A Modernized Icon at the Heart of the Player II Range
Designed as the contemporary successor to the historic Jazzmaster, the Player II retains its visual codes while modernizing playability and reliability. Made in Mexico, it stands as the "stage-ready" choice in the range, with finishes inspired by Fender archives, including this vibrant Rallye Orange color.
For Which Musician and Styles?
Ideal for intermediate to advanced guitarists, this Jazzmaster excels in indie, surf, dream-pop, shoegaze, modern jazz, and post-rock. The neck comfort, hardware stability, and simple yet effective electronics make it a reliable companion for rehearsals and touring alike.
Sound
The Alnico V single-coil pickups deliver crisp highs, musical mids, and tight lows. The alder body offers a balanced spectrum and quick response, while the rosewood fingerboard softens the upper frequencies. The 3-position selector switch moves from the bridge's bite to the neck pickup's chime, with a fuller middle position. The "floating" tremolo provides smooth, singing vibratos; Mustang saddles and ClassicGear tuners enhance sustain and tuning stability.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
- Nickel "light" string set .009-.042, identical to the original setup, to preserve the tension and feel intended by the tremolo.
- Quality 6.35 mm instrument jack cable and adjustable strap (standard strap buttons).
