The Double-locking Peak of Player II Modified Performance

Fender’s Player II Modified series is all about tweaking classic California designs with modern-minded features, and the Player II Modified Stratocaster HSS Floyd Rose takes that philosophy to a whole new level of performance with its Floyd Rose Special tremolo. This double-locking tremolo system puts dive-bombs, squeals, and screams at your command, all with impervious tuning stability. You’ll be thrilled by the fluid playability of the Player II Modified Stratocaster HSS Floyd Rose’s slim modern C profile, sleek satin finish, and comfortably rounded-over edges. Moreover, the 12-inch radius and medium-jumbo frets provide you with an effortless foundation for expressive bends. As for the tone, neck- and middle-position Player II Noiseless Strat pickups sing with hum-free chime and shimmer, while the bridge-position Player II Modified Humbucker dishes out a high-power dual-coil wallop with ample output and articulation. And if you’re in the mood for standard SSS Strat sonics, you can even flip the push-pull Tone knob to access authentic single-coil bite. For the guitarist who demands a Strat with unparalleled stability and performance, the Player II Modified Stratocaster HSS Floyd Rose delivers big — all without sacrificing the style and sound that made the model a classic in the first place.

High-speed modern C maple neck

A maple foundation in Fender’s fan-favorite modern C profile starts this 6-string off with a speedy feel, further bolstered by the neck’s slick satin finish. Topside, the Player II Modified HSS Floyd Rose ups the ante with a 12-inch-radius fingerboard — a significantly flatter radius than the standard Player II HSS model — to ensure that even your wildest multi-step bends sing with a clear, buzz-free voice. And arguably most impressively, the Fender Player II Modified Stratocaster HSS Floyd Rose’s neck brandishes rolled edges that glide against your palm with an almost frictionless feel.

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 Floyd Rose 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.
