Step into the spotlight and experience iconic Fender sound and style with the Player II Stratocaster HSS — a stage-ready guitar with contemporary updates to power your performance and inspire your playing.

The Player II Stratocaster HSS radiates timeless Fender charm, but under the hood, it's primed for today's players. Everything about the neck is designed for fast and fluid playability, from the Modern “C”-profile with silky satin urethane finish on the back to the comfy 9.5”-radius slab rosewood or maple fingerboard with smooth rolled edges and 22 medium jumbo frets. Choose from alder, chambered ash or chambered mahogany bodies available in both classic Fender finishes and never-before-seen colors unearthed from the archives. Player Series Alnico V Single-Coil Strat pickups and a Player Series Alnico II humbucker offer crystalline highs, musical mids, and tight lows that elevate any genre. The 5-way blade switch lets you dial in everything from glassy neck pickup chime to rowdy bridge pickup roar and all points in between, while a 2-point tremolo and Classic Gear tuners ensure precise tuning stability for the flexibility to explore endless sonic possibilities.

Perfect for crafting your own sound, the Player II Stratocaster HSS has the looks, tone, and feel that only a Fender delivers.

Contoured Alder, Chambered Ash or Chambered Mahogany Body

Custom tailor the sound and look of your Player series instrument and choose from the resonant snap of chambered swamp ash, the rich warmth of chambered mahogany, or the classic punch of alder, each outfitted with our iconic contours.

Modern "C" Neck Profile

This neck is designed for supremely comfortable performance, with the silky smooth back finish and our Modern “C”-profile — for a first-class feel that’s ideal for almost any playing style.

9.5“-Radius Maple Or Rosewood Fingerboard With Rolled Edges
