Gear up and get ready to take your performance to the next level with Player II Modified. Featuring key upgrades for the modern guitarist and bassist, these versatile instruments are designed to handle anything you can throw at them.
The Player II Modified Stratocaster is a classic guitar with the modern player in mind. Everything 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. The alder body provides classic Fender punch and is available in a variety of exciting new finishes. The Player II noiseless 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. The 2-point tremolo, short post locking tuners, TUSQ nut and modern string tree all combine to keep tuning incredibly stable, while the wider travel of the chamfered tremolo block allows players to coax even more expressive, musical vibrato from their instrument.

MODERN «C» NECK PROFILE WITH 9.5“-RADIUS FINGERBOARD AND ROLLED EDGES
This neck is designed for supremely comfortable performance, with a silky-smooth satin back and our Modern “C”-profile. The 9.5”-radius fingerboard facilitates fluid leads and choke free bends, while the hand-rolled fingerboard edges provide a broken-in feel that’s exceptionally inviting.
NEW PLAYER II NOISELESS™ STRAT® PICKUPS
These noiseless™ pickups deliver chiming, sparkly Strat® tones while removing unwanted noise. They’re perfect for any performance, sound great with gain and are our most natural-sounding noiseless pickups yet.
UPGRADED ELECTRONICS
A push-pull switch on the second tone control activates the neck pickup in switch positions 1 and 2, adding two unique pickup configurations not possible with standard Strat® wiring. The treble bleed circuit retains natural high-end when rolling off the volume control, preserving sparkly cleans and chime-y edge-of-breakup tones.
2-POINT SYNCHRONIZED TREMOLO WITH BLOCK STEEL SADDLES AND CHAMFERED TREMOLO BLOCK
A 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.
SHORT POST LOCKING TUNING MACHINES
Short post locking tuning machines provide a sharper break angle over the nut for enhanced tuning stability while making string changes fast and easy.
TUSQ® NUT AND MODERN STRING TREE
The Graph Tech® TUSQ® nut provides unparalleled tuning stability, especially with heavy tremolo use, and produces more harmonics in the mid and upper range. The modern string tree provides a smooth travel surface for the strings, preventing hang ups and keeping tuning stable during the most demanding performances.
