Fender Player II Stratocaster

Fender Player II Stratocaster

The Fender Stratocaster is the definitive double-cutaway dream machine, and the Player II series represents a bold step forward for this industry standard. For decades, the Strat has been the weapon of choice for icons ranging from the ethereal blues of Stevie Ray Vaughan to the psychedelic explorations of Jimi Hendrix. At Palen Music Center, weve seen countless guitars come through our doors, but the Player II Stratocaster stands out as a true “player’s guitar,” blending the timeless soul of the 1950s with modern refinements that make it feel like an old friend from the very first strum.

Crafted with a resonant Alder bodyor select chambered Ash and Mahogany for those seeking specialized tonal weightsthis guitar delivers the balanced punch and “spank” that defined rock and roll. The big news for the Player II is the return of slab Rosewood fingerboards and the addition of smooth rolled edges on the neck. Combined with a silky satin finish on the back of the “Modern C” profile, the neck is lightning-fast and exceptionally comfortable, eliminating the “sharp” feel often found on mid-tier instruments. Whether youre digging into a gritty blues lead or floating through ambient textures, this neck stays out of your way and lets your creativity take over.

All fretted instruments receive a free complimentary professional setup.
