{"product_id":"player-ii-stratocaster-rosewood-fingerboard-3-color-sunburst","title":"Fender Player II Stratocaster 3-Color Sunburst Stratocaster Electric Guitar","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe Stratocaster for Today's Player\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's a reason the Stratocaster has been the go-to guitar for so many players across so many genres for over seventy years. It's versatile, comfortable, and unmistakably Fender. The Player II Stratocaster takes everything you love about the original and gives it a few modern tweaks that make it even more playable — without losing that iconic character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a guitar built for real playing. \u003ccite index=\"1-9\"\u003eThe Modern C neck profile features a silky satin urethane finish on the back and a 9.5-inch radius rosewood fingerboard with smooth rolled edges and 22 medium jumbo frets\u003c\/cite\u003e, so whether you're working through chord changes or bending strings up high, everything feels natural. \u003ccite index=\"4-2\"\u003eThe body is alder with a gloss polyester finish\u003c\/cite\u003e, giving you that classic Fender punch and sustain. And the \u003ccite index=\"11-5\"\u003ePlayer Series Alnico V single-coil Strat pickups deliver crystalline highs, musical mids, and tight lows\u003c\/cite\u003e that work across everything from clean jazz to crunchy rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've been looking for a Strat that gives you authentic Fender tone and feel at a price that doesn't break the bank, this is it. It suits players who want a reliable, well-built guitar that sounds great right out of the case — whether you're just starting out or adding to a collection that's seen a few decades of gigs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA Neck Built for Speed and Comfort\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite index=\"1-9\"\u003eThe Modern C neck profile is designed for fast and fluid playability\u003c\/cite\u003e, and the difference is noticeable the moment you pick it up. The back of the neck has a satin urethane finish that feels smooth without being slippery, so your hand glides easily up and down the fretboard. \u003ccite index=\"4-2\"\u003eThe 25.5-inch scale length\u003c\/cite\u003e gives you that familiar Strat feel — bright, snappy, and responsive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite index=\"4-2\"\u003eThe rosewood fingerboard has a 9.5-inch radius\u003c\/cite\u003e, which is a sweet spot for most players. It's flat enough for comfortable chording in the lower positions, but curved enough to make bends feel effortless higher up the neck. The rolled edges are a thoughtful touch that makes the guitar feel broken-in from day one. \u003ccite index=\"4-2\"\u003eWith 22 medium jumbo frets and a 1.650-inch nut width\u003c\/cite\u003e, you get plenty of room for expressive playing without the neck feeling too wide or cramped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite index=\"4-2\"\u003eThe nut is synthetic bone\u003c\/cite\u003e, which provides good sustain and clear tone transfer from the strings to the neck. It's durable, consistent, and won't wear down like softer materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThree Pickups, Endless Tone\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite index=\"11-5\"\u003eThe Player Series Alnico V single-coil Strat pickups\u003c\/cite\u003e are the heart of this guitar's sound. Fender designed these pickups to give you that classic Strat chime and quack, but with a bit more output and midrange punch than vintage-style pickups. That means you get clarity and articulation when you need it, but enough muscle to drive an amp into overdrive without sounding thin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite index=\"11-6\"\u003eThe 5-way blade switch lets you dial in everything from glassy neck pickup cleans to rowdy bridge pickup snarl\u003c\/cite\u003e, with three in-between positions that give you those famous Strat quack tones. Position 2 (bridge and middle) and Position 4 (middle and neck) are where a lot of players live — those out-of-phase sounds that cut through a mix like nothing else. You've got master volume and two tone controls: one for the neck and middle pickups, one for the bridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you're playing clean rhythm parts, chimey arpeggios, or lead lines that need to sing, these pickups respond to your touch and your amp settings in a way that stays musical and dynamic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHardware That Holds Up\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite index=\"1-34\"\u003eThis Stratocaster features a 2-point Synchronized Tremolo with bent steel saddles\u003c\/cite\u003e, which is Fender's modern take on the classic vibrato system. It's smooth, stable, and gives you plenty of range for subtle vibrato or more dramatic pitch dives. \u003ccite index=\"1-35\"\u003eThe ClassicGear tuning machines have an 18:1 gear ratio\u003c\/cite\u003e, which means you can dial in your tuning with precision and confidence that it'll stay put.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite index=\"4-2\"\u003eThe hardware finish is nickel\/chrome\u003c\/cite\u003e, and the guitar comes with \u003ccite index=\"4-2\"\u003ea 3-ply parchment pickguard, aged white plastic knobs, and aged white pickup covers\u003c\/cite\u003e that give it a classic look without going full vintage relic. It's a clean, timeless aesthetic that works on any stage or in any studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe build quality throughout is solid. \u003ccite index=\"4-2\"\u003eThe neck attaches with a 4-bolt standard construction\u003c\/cite\u003e, and \u003ccite index=\"4-2\"\u003ethe truss rod is single-action with head adjustment\u003c\/cite\u003e, so you can tweak the neck relief without removing the neck. It's the kind of thoughtful design that makes the guitar easy to maintain and set up to your preferences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Alder, contoured and finished in gloss polyester\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Maple with Modern C profile and satin urethane finish on the back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard: Rosewood with 9.5-inch radius, 22 medium jumbo frets, and rolled edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickups: Three Player Series Alnico V single-coil Strat pickups (SSS configuration)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: 2-point Synchronized Tremolo with bent steel saddles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Fender ClassicGear with 18:1 gear ratio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 25.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width: 1.650 inches, synthetic bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: Master volume, Tone 1 (neck\/middle), Tone 2 (bridge), 5-position blade switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware: Nickel\/chrome finish with 3-ply parchment pickguard\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 Stratocaster\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0140510500\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1872, C.A.
