Noise-free single-coil shimmer paired with humbucking heat
Equipped with both hard-hitting humbucking firepower and uncompromisingly authentic single-coil sounds, Fender’s Player II Modified Stratocaster HSS pickups take on everything from screaming, gain-laden riffage to classic Strat spank with the flip of a switch. First up, the neck- and middle-position Player II Modified Noiseless Stratocaster pickups provide you with a clear, complex, and dynamic single-coil Stratocaster voice that performs without the faintest bit of 60-cycle hum. These tones balance beautifully against the warm, powerful output of the Alnico II Player II Modified Humbucker. Plus, you can even flip up the push-pull Tone pot to transform the humbucker into a single-coil for classic SSS Strat tones. Finally, it’s all topped off with a treble bleed circuit that retains clarity when you roll down the Volume knob.
Fender II Modified series: a musical joyride
Like a tuned-up classic car, Fender’s Player II series injects all-time classic designs with a high-octane dose of power and performance. Born out of a deep exploration under the hood and a thorough examination of Player II instruments, Fender has introduced the Player II Modified series. Home to hot-rodded editions of Stratocaster, Telecaster, Precision Bass, and Jazz Bass models, the Player II Modified series features timeless touches, including quality tonewoods, rolled fingerboard edges, and legendary body shapes. Meanwhile, a barrage of high-performance upgrades, including new noiseless pickups, elevated electronics, and reimagined hardware, deliver a souped-up playing experience. It all equates to an inventive line that beautifully complements the essence of what has made Fender the go-to choice for musicians since 1946. Like a sleek coupe fresh from the garage, your Fender Player II Modified series instrument is ready to ride.
