Description
The Fender Player II Stratocaster HSS chambered ash electric guitar offers versatile, articulate tone for any style of music. Built with the inspiring sound of a Stratocaster as its foundation, the sonically flexible Player II Stratocaster HSS features a chambered ash body, rosewood fingerboard and humbucker bridge pickup for authentic Fender tone with a modern edge.
Chambered Ash Body Promotes Resonance
The chambered ash body allows the natural resonance of wood to ring through, enhancing clarity and sustain. Ash is a traditional Fender tonewood known for its balanced warmth and clarity. Chambering the body removes excess wood to reduce weight while maintaining tonal integrity. The result is a lightweight, resonant guitar that rings out freely.
Play Comfortably All Night
The Modern C-shaped maple neck has a smooth finish and comfortable medium jumbo frets that make it ideal for almost any playing style. By adding a 22nd fret to the 9.5" radius rosewood fingerboard, Fender made it easier to express yourself musically. The updated two-point tremolo bridge has smoother travel for enhanced playing feel while providing rock-solid tuning stability.
Crisp Single-Coil Pickups for Classic Strat Sound
The single-coil Stratocaster neck and middle pickups produce the crisp, articulate sound that defined rock music. Bell-like highs, punchy mids and a robust low end combine for a tone that cuts through. The 5-way switch lets you access neck, neck/middle, middle, middle/bridge and bridge pickup combinations for a variety of Fender voices.
Modern Humbucker for Beefy Lead Tone
The humbucker bridge pickup adds a modern edge, with warmer, higher-output tone suited to heavy rock and blues. Its overwound coils cancel hum for a quieter performance, even with high gain and distortion. Blend the humbucker with the single-coils for a range of unique in-between tones.
Rock-Solid Components for Professional Performance
High-quality components provide the rock-solid performance that serious players demand. The two-point tremolo has a smoother feel and enhanced tuning stability. Sealed tuning machines keep the guitar in tune through intense playing. Other premium parts include a synthetic bone nut, three-ply pickguard and Fender "F"-stamped neck plate.
