That's not by accident. \u003ccite index=\"1-5\"\u003eThe Player II Modified Stratocaster® is a classic guitar with the modern player in mind.\u003c\/cite\u003e Fender took everything that makes a Strat timeless and added the kind of thoughtful upgrades that working players actually want: \u003ccite index=\"1-8\"\u003enoiseless™ pickups deliver classic Strat® chime and sparkle while eliminating unwanted noise and the push\/pull switch on the 2nd tone control provides even more tonal flexibility by adding the neck pickup into switch positions 1 and 2.\u003c\/cite\u003e This isn't about reinventing the wheel—it's about making the wheel roll a little smoother.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3-Tone Sunburst finish is as classic as it gets, but the real story is what you feel and hear. \u003ccite index=\"1-6\"\u003eEverything 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 1-piece maple fingerboard with smooth rolled edges and 22 medium jumbo frets.\u003c\/cite\u003e \u003ccite index=\"1-7\"\u003eThe alder body provides classic Fender punch\u003c\/cite\u003e that cuts through any mix. Whether you're tracking in your bedroom or playing a festival stage, this Strat has the versatility to keep up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis guitar suits players who want authentic Stratocaster DNA with practical, performance-driven improvements. If you've been eyeing a Strat but want something that feels dialed-in right out of the case, the Player II Modified delivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNoiseless Pickups That Actually Sound Like a Strat\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's the thing about noiseless pickups: they often sound sterile, losing the character that makes a Strat sound like a Strat. Fender solved that problem. \u003ccite index=\"3-8\"\u003eThe Player II Modified Stratocaster features three Player II Noiseless Strat single-coil pickups, delivering classic Strat tones without the hum.\u003c\/cite\u003e You get the bell-like chime in the neck position, the quack in positions 2 and 4, and the snap in the bridge—all without the 60-cycle hum that used to be part of the deal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite index=\"1-8\"\u003eThe push\/pull switch on the 2nd tone control provides even more tonal flexibility by adding the neck pickup into switch positions 1 and 2.\u003c\/cite\u003e That means you can blend the neck pickup with the bridge for thicker lead tones or combine it with the bridge-and-middle setting for added warmth. These aren't switch positions you get on a standard Strat, and they open up genuinely useful tonal ground. The master volume control includes a treble-bleed circuit, so rolling back the volume doesn't turn your tone to mud—your highs stay clear and articulate even at lower volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA Neck Built for Speed and Comfort\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite index=\"24-3\"\u003eEverything 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 1-piece maple fingerboard with smooth rolled edges and 22 medium jumbo frets.\u003c\/cite\u003e The Modern C profile is slim enough for quick position shifts but substantial enough that it doesn't feel fragile. The satin finish on the back of the neck means your hand glides without sticking, even during long sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThose rolled edges aren't just a comfort feature—they're a feel upgrade that used to be reserved for higher-priced instruments. \u003ccite index=\"29-1\"\u003eThe 9.5-inch-radius fingerboard and medium-jumbo frets provide an ideal platform for wide, multi-step bends and vibrant vibrato.\u003c\/cite\u003e The 25.5-inch scale length is pure Stratocaster, giving you that familiar string tension and bright, articulate response. The 1.65-inch nut width and 22 frets give you plenty of room to work, whether you're playing rhythm chords or stretching into the upper register for leads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHardware That Stays in Tune\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTuning stability has always been the Achilles' heel of tremolo-equipped guitars, but Fender addressed it from multiple angles on the Player II Modified. \u003ccite index=\"1-30,1-31\"\u003eA two-point tremolo bridge with 6 block steel saddles provides superior intonation, sustain, tuning stability and ease of adjustment. The upgraded chamfered tremolo block has been modified to enable a wider range of travel compared to a standard tremolo block, allowing players to coax even more expressive, musical vibrato from their instrument.\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite index=\"1-32\"\u003eShort post locking tuning machines provide a sharper break angle over the nut for enhanced tuning stability while making string changes fast and easy.\u003c\/cite\u003e The locking mechanism grips the string securely, reducing slippage and making restringing less of a hassle. \u003ccite index=\"1-33\"\u003eThe Graph Tech® TUSQ® nut provides unparalleled tuning stability, especially with heavy tremolo use, and produces more harmonics in the mid and upper range.\u003c\/cite\u003e Even the string tree is upgraded—\u003ccite index=\"1-34\"\u003ethe modern string tree provides a smooth travel surface for the strings, preventing hang ups and keeping tuning stable during the most demanding performances.\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: \u003ccite index=\"24-4\"\u003eAlder body provides classic Fender punch\u003c\/cite\u003e, contoured for comfort, gloss polyester finish in 3-Tone Sunburst\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Maple Modern C profile with satin urethane finish, 25.5-inch scale length, bolt-on construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard: \u003ccite index=\"24-3\"\u003e1-piece maple fingerboard with smooth rolled edges and 22 medium jumbo frets\u003c\/cite\u003e, 9.5-inch radius, black dot inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickups: \u003ccite index=\"3-8\"\u003eThree Player II Noiseless Strat single-coil pickups, delivering classic Strat tones without the hum\u003c\/cite\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronics: \u003ccite index=\"1-8\"\u003ePush\/pull switch on the 2nd tone control provides even more tonal flexibility by adding the neck pickup into switch positions 1 and 2\u003c\/cite\u003e, master volume with treble-bleed circuit, 5-way blade switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: \u003ccite index=\"1-30,1-31\"\u003e2-point tremolo bridge with 6 block steel saddles and chamfered tremolo block for wider range of travel\u003c\/cite\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: \u003ccite index=\"1-32\"\u003eShort post locking tuning machines\u003c\/cite\u003e (Deluxe Cast\/Sealed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut: \u003ccite index=\"1-33\"\u003eGraph Tech® TUSQ® nut\u003c\/cite\u003e, 1.65-inch width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware: Nickel\/chrome finish, 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard, aged white knobs and pickup covers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of Origin: \u003ccite index=\"42-1\"\u003eMade in Fender's Ensenada factory in Mexico\u003c\/cite\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fender\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Player II Modified Stratocaster\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0147422300\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1872, C.A.
