The Fender Player II Modified Stratocaster HSS combines classic design with modern upgrades for today's guitarist. Built on an alder body with a fast-playing Modern "C"-profile maple neck, it features a 9.5" radius fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets for smooth, fluid playability. The HSS pickup configuration pairs Player II Noiseless Strat single-coils with an articulate bridge humbucker, while a push/pull switch on the tone control splits the bridge pickup for versatile single-coil tones. Premium hardware includes a 2-point synchronized tremolo with chamfered block for stable tuning and expressive vibrato, sealed locking tuners, and a TUSQ nut. The 5-position blade switch offers five classic pickup combinations, and master volume with treble-bleed circuit ensures clarity at any level. Finished in gloss polyurethane with a tortoiseshell pickguard, this Player II Modified delivers classic Fender punch with the playability and tonal flexibility modern players demand. Includes Fender Deluxe Gigbag.
