Fender Player II Stratocaster HSS Maple Cactus Gray

Overview

The Fender Player II Stratocaster HSS pairs classic Strat styling with a more versatile pickup configuration built for modern players. Finished in Cactus Gray with a maple fingerboard, this model keeps the familiar Strat feel while adding extra punch and output from its bridge-position humbucker.

A Modern “C” maple neck with a satin urethane finish on the back offers a smooth, fast-playing feel, while the 9.5" radius fingerboard with rolled edges and 22 medium jumbo frets makes bending and lead work effortless. The Player Series Alnico II humbucker in the bridge position works alongside Alnico V single-coils in the middle and neck, delivering everything from glassy cleans to thicker, more aggressive tones.
