Player II
The Fender Player II Stratocaster, which made its debut in July 2024, represents a modern interpretation of the iconic Stratocaster design. Manufactured in Fender's renowned Ensenada, Mexico facility, this instrument inherits the legacy of previous models while incorporating the latest improvements. Retaining the classic Stratocaster features, such as its distinctive double-cutaway body shape and trio of single-coil pickups, the Player II Stratocaster offers enhanced playability and versatility. It also marks a re-introduction of Rosewood fingerboards on some models versus the Pau Ferro boards used on the previous Player Stratocaster series. In additon, Fender have introduced several new colours for this series including; Aquatone Blue, Birch Green, Hialeah Yellow, Coral Red, among others.
