Fender Player II Modified Stratocaster HSS MN, Dusk

Full Description

Versatile HSS pickup configuration

The Fender Player II Modified Stratocaster HSS is built for tonal flexibility, combining the best of both worlds with a powerful humbucker at the bridge and noiseless single-coils in the middle and neck. The Player II Modified humbucker delivers articulate, high-output tones perfect for rock, blues, and beyond, while the noiseless Strat pickups retain the chime and clarity of traditional single-coils without the unwanted hum. If you need warm, vintage-inspired cleans or aggressive overdriven tones, this setup ensures you have the perfect sound for any situation.

Smooth and fast playability

A great guitar needs to feel as good as it sounds, and the Player II Modified Stratocaster HSS delivers with a thoughtfully designed neck built for speed and comfort. The Modern “C” profile sits comfortably in the hand, offering a familiar yet refined feel. The maple fingerboard features a 9.5” radius and rolled edges, making fretting chords and intricate lead runs effortless. The satin urethane neck finish provides a slick, friction-free surface that allows your hand to glide smoothly up and down the neck, making long sessions more comfortable and expressive playing easier than ever.

Enhanced hardware and stability

Keeping a guitar in tune through heavy playing is crucial, and this Strat is packed with hardware upgrades designed for stability. The 2-point synchronized tremolo bridge with block steel saddles improves sustain and tuning accuracy while allowing for expressive vibrato. Short post locking tuners enhance break angle over the nut, reducing slippage and making string changes a breeze. The Graph Tech® TUSQ® nut ensures consistent tuning stability even with aggressive tremolo use, giving you confidence that your guitar will hold up through every performance.

Upgraded electronics for expanded tones

The Player II Modified Stratocaster HSS takes your tonal options further with smart electronic enhancements. A push/pull tone control splits the bridge humbucker, instantly transforming it into a single-coil for traditional Strat sounds. This means you can access everything from thick, powerful rock tones to delicate, bell-like cleans at the flick of a switch. The treble bleed circuit ensures your high-end remains clear and defined when rolling back the volume, preserving clarity even at lower settings. With these enhancements, this Strat is ready to adapt to any genre or playing style, making it a true all-in-one performance machine.
