ETA – LATE APRIL 2025
Player II Stratocaster®, Rosewood Fingerboard, White Blonde
MODEL #: 0140510501
The original Fender Player Series was launched back in 2018, and has proved massively popular as these Ensenada, Mexico-made instruments have all the things players love about Fender guitars and basses but at a lower price than the USA-made brethren.
Now revamped, the Player Series becomes … Player II Series! Some new features include new Alnico V pick-ups, rosewood fingerboard replaces pau ferro and the machineheads are now upgraded to the ClassicGear type. On top of all that, the Jaguar returns to the more traditional single-coil bridge pickup, and a host of new colours are available.
DESCRIPTION
Step into the spotlight and experience iconic Fender® sound and style with the Player II Stratocaster® — a stage-ready guitar with contemporary updates to power your performance and inspire your playing.
The Player II Stratocaster 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 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 cleans to rowdy bridge pickup snarl and all points in between, while a 2-point tremolo and ClassicGear™ tuners ensure precise tuning stability for the flexibility to explore endless sonic possibilities.
Perfect for crafting your own sound, the Player II Stratocaster has the looks, tone and feel that only a Fender delivers.
