Fender Player II Stratocaster® HSS, Maple Fingerboard, Black

Step into the spotlight with the Fender Player II Stratocaster® HSS—a stage-ready Strat that keeps the iconic Fender feel while adding modern upgrades for today’s players. The Modern “C” maple neck with a silky satin urethane back finish is built for fast, comfortable playing, while the 9.5" radius maple fingerboard with rolled edges and 22 medium jumbo frets makes bends smooth and lead work effortless.

This model’s HSS pickup layout brings serious versatility: Player Series Alnico V Strat® single-coils handle glassy cleans and classic Strat sparkle, while the Player Series Alnico II humbucker adds punch, warmth, and higher-output drive tones for heavier styles. A 5-way blade switch covers everything from chime to roar, and the 2-point synchronized tremolo with bent steel saddles delivers classic Strat vibrato feel with stable, expressive action. ClassicGear™ tuners round out the package with reliable tuning and a vintage-inspired look.

Note: No case or gig bag included (recommended options listed below).
