Fender Player II Stratocaster HSS Maple Fingerboard Electric Guitar 0140542545 – Transparent Mocha Burst (Chambered)

A stage-ready Strat that covers clean chime to big rock tones. The Fender Player II Stratocaster HSS (0140542545, Transparent Mocha Burst) is from Fender’s Player II series. It has a chambered mahogany body for rich, warm tone, a fast Modern “C” maple neck and an HSS pickup set – a Player Series Alnico II humbucker at the bridge with two Alnico V single-coils. Great for players moving up to a real Fender for gigs, church and home recording.

Why customers choose it

• Expressive vibrato: 2-point synchronized tremolo with bent steel saddles.
