Fender Player II Modified Stratocaster HSS – Detailed Overview

Classic Fender Tonewoods & Modern HSS Sound
Body: Alder
The Player II Modified Stratocaster HSS features a contoured alder body with a gloss polyester finish, delivering balanced tonal response with clear mids, warm lows and bright highs, wrapped in the iconic Stratocaster® double-cutaway shape.

Elegant Craftsmanship & Detailing
This model blends classic Fender design with modern performance upgrades:

  • Finish & Aesthetics: Gloss finish with several colour options depending on region (such as Electric Blue or Dusk).

  • Pickguard: 3-ply pickguard (typically Black/White/Black) protects the body and reinforces the classic Strat look.

  • Hardware: Nickel/chrome hardware throughout for reliable performance.

  • Control Knobs: Parchment plastic knobs for volume and tone controls.

Neck, Feel & Hardware

  • Neck: Maple with Modern “C” profile, a versatile, comfortable shape suited to a wide range of playing styles. 

  • Fingerboard: Rosewood with a 9.5″ (241 mm) radius and 22 medium jumbo frets for expressive playability.

  • Scale Length: 25.5″ (648 mm), classic Fender scale offering balanced string tension and feel. 

  • Nut: TUSQ® nut for improved tuning stability and enhanced harmonic response.

  • Truss Rod: Single-action, head-adjust for reliable neck relief control.

  • Tuning Machines: Deluxe cast/sealed locking tuners (short-post) give consistent tuning stability and quick string changes.

  • Bridge: 2-Point synchronized tremolo with block steel saddles and chamfered tremolo block for expressive vibrato and good intonation.

Electronics & Controls

  • Pickups:

    • Bridge: Player II Modified Humbucker, powerful and articulate for higher-gain tones.

    • Middle & Neck: Player II Noiseless™ Strat® single-coils, bright, clear and free of 60 Hz hum.
      This HSS configuration offers a broad tonal palette from punchy bridge tones to classic Strat chime.

  • Auxiliary Switching: Push-pull pot on Tone 2 lets you coil-split the humbucker for single-coil-like bridge tones.

  • Controls: Master volume with treble-bleed, Tone 1 (neck/middle pickups), Tone 2 (bridge pickup).

  • Switching: 5-position blade selector gives flexible combination options from bridge through neck.

Protection & Case

  • Case/Gig Bag: Includes a Deluxe gig bag with the instrument.
