collapse expand iconDescription

The Fender Player II Stratocaster chambered mahogany electric guitar provides versatile tone and playing feel for guitarists seeking a lightweight, resonant instrument. Its chambered mahogany body reduces weight while enhancing sustain and warmth. Combined with a fast-playing maple neck and crisp Player Series single-coil pickups, this Stratocaster delivers bell-like highs, punchy mids and robust low end with articulate expression.

Chambered Mahogany Body Resonates While Reducing Weight

The chambered mahogany body provides resonance and sustain expected from mahogany, but in a lighter package. Strategic chambers remove mass from the body without sacrificing tone. The remaining solid wood still vibrates freely, producing full, warm tone with long sustain. The chambered design makes this Strat comfortable for extended playing sessions and travel.

Maple Neck Offers Smooth Playability

The Player II Strat features a maple neck with a comfortable Modern C profile and 9.5" radius maple fingerboard. The modern C-shaped maple neck has comfortable contours for nearly any playing style. Its smooth finish allows your hand to glide effortlessly up and down the fingerboard. 22 medium jumbo frets extend the range for expressive lead playing. A 9.5" radius fingerboard has a hint of flattening for easy bending and chording. Overall, the neck design plays fast while keeping you comfortable.

Player Series Pickups Provide Crisp Articulation

The Player Series single-coil pickups are designed for articulate tone with a touch of modern edge. Bridge and middle pickups have punchy mids and crystalline highs for cutting leads and rhythms. The neck pickup produces robust low end with bell-like top end, perfect for warm chords and solos. A 5-way switch selects pickups in standard Stratocaster combinations. Master volume and tone controls shape the pickups for a variety of tones from vintage to contemporary.

Other Premium Appointments

Other premium features include a 2-point tremolo bridge for expressive pitch bending, sealed tuning machines for rock-solid intonation, synthetic bone nut for clarity and sustain and an F-stamped neck plate marking this as an authentic Fender instrument. Overall, the Player II Stratocaster chambered mahogany body guitar provides tonal inspiration with comfort and playability for today's guitarist.
