Fender Player II Stratocaster Birch Green

The Fender Player II Stratocaster that proves familiarity and refinement go hand in hand

The Fender Player II Stratocaster in Birch Green isn't a silent revision, but a thoughtful step forward. Anyone picking up the guitar for the first time will immediately notice: the rounded fret edges give the neck a smoothness usually only found on more expensive models. The modern C-profile with a 9.5" radius feels instantly familiar, whether you're transitioning from a vintage Strat or picking up a Fender for the first time.

Three Player Series Alnico 5 Single Coil pickups deliver the sound that made the Stratocaster famous: crystal clear, snappy, and with that unmistakable sultry midrange. The 5-way switch unveils a wide palette of tones, from the warm, round neck position to the biting bark of the bridge, including the glass-like in-between sounds that guitarists like John Mayer have made their trademark. The two-point tremolo works smoothly and returns reliably to pitch, while the Fender ClassicGear tuners ensure stable tuning during longer sets.

The body is crafted from alder, the neck from maple with a satin urethane finish and a rosewood fretboard. With 22 medium jumbo frets on a 25.5" scale, the Player II Stratocaster offers playing comfort that proves its worth both in the studio and on stage. The Birch Green finish gives this Strat a contemporary look that stands out without being loud. A guitar for the player who knows what they want.
