The New "Player II" Generation Made in Mexico
This "Player II Modified" Stratocaster continues the tradition of Fender models made in Ensenada, featuring improvements geared towards stage and studio use. The 12" radius, Medium Jumbo frets, and Floyd Rose make it a modern Strat ready for current techniques, without sacrificing the iconic character of the line.
Intended Use and Player Level
Ideal for intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a versatile and stable Strat. The HSS configuration covers pop, funk, blues and easily ventures into rock/metal thanks to the splittable humbucker. The comfortable neck and 12" radius facilitate bends, vibratos, and fast playing.
Sound Characteristics
The alder body provides the typical Fender midrange/high-end balance. The Player II Modified humbucker at the bridge delivers tight drive and singing leads, while the Player II Noiseless Strat pickups at the neck and middle offer snap and noiseless intermediate positions. The Tone 2 push/pull splits the humbucker to regain single-coil attack. The Floyd Rose Special provides precise attack and consistent sustain, and the treble-bleed preserves highs when lowering the volume.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
* 9-42 string set such as Fender USA 250L nickel plated steel (.009-.042), perfectly suited for the Floyd Rose to maintain original tension and balance. * Fender hard Stratocaster-style case (Strat format), for superior protection complementing the included Deluxe gig bag.
