The Fender Player II Modified Stratocaster HSS is what you'd get if the classic Strat hit the gym and took a masterclass in modern shredding. This guitar packs the iconic alder body punch you know and love into a more reliable, modern frame. It’s built for players who want vintage swagger without vintage headaches. Grab this versatile workhorse and get ready to handle anything you can throw at it.
Shred with Style and Speed
Playing a gig shouldn't feel like a thumb-wrestling match against a block of wood. The neck on the Player II Modified is engineered for pure comfort, letting your hands fly up and down the fretboard with zero resistance. It’s like a slip-and-slide for your fingers, minus the water damage.
Modern "C" Profile: The silky satin urethane finish on the back means your hand glides effortlessly, even when the stage lights have you sweating buckets.
Rolled Fingerboard Edges: The comfy 9.5”-radius 1-piece maple fingerboard features smooth rolled edges, making long chord progressions feel like a gentle handshake rather than a medieval torture device.
22 Medium Jumbo Frets: Dig in and bend those notes into the stratosphere without fretting out.
All the Sparkle, None of the Hum.
This HSS configuration gives you that iconic Stratocaster chime without the dreaded 60-cycle buzz. You get the meaty output of a humbucker for when you need some extra punch, plus single-coils that stay surprisingly quiet.
Player II Modified Humbucker: Sitting in the bridge position, this pickup is incredibly articulate with plenty of output to push your amp into glorious overdrive.
Noiseless Strat Pickups: Enjoy the classic bell-like chime and snappy sparkle in the neck and middle positions, completely free of unwanted stage noise.
Push/Pull Coil Split: Tucked cleverly into the second tone control, this switch splits the bridge humbucker so you can instantly access authentic single-coil spank for total tonal flexibility.
Lock It Down and Dive Bomb
Nothing ruins a soulful solo faster than your guitar deciding to randomly drop a quarter-step flat. The hardware on the Player II Modified is an absolute fortress, ensuring your strings stay exactly where you put them, even after you get aggressive with the whammy bar.
2-Point Synchronized Tremolo: Featuring block steel saddles and a chamfered tremolo block, this setup offers wider travel so you can coax out deep, expressive, and highly musical vibrato.
Short Post Locking Tuners: Restringing takes seconds instead of minutes, and tuning stability is locked down tighter than a bank vault.
TUSQ Nut and Modern String Tree: Friction is the enemy of tuning. This premium nut and string tree combo ensures your strings glide smoothly without catching or pinging.
The Ultimate Gigging Guitar
The Fender Player II Modified Stratocaster HSS proves you don't have to sacrifice modern performance to get classic looks.
