FenderPlayer II Stratocaster HSS Electric Guitar - Rosewood Fingerboard, Birch Green

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Birch Green Player II Stratocaster HSS pairs a rosewood fingerboard with Fender’s HSS layout: Alnico V single-coils at the neck and middle, and an Alnico II humbucker at the bridge. Its five pickup positions cover each pickup alone as well as the bridge/middle and middle/neck combinations, so changing parts does not require changing guitars. An alder body, satin-finished Modern C maple neck, rolled fingerboard edges, 22 medium-jumbo frets, and a two-point synchronized tremolo put the emphasis on hands-on Strat control with a wider bridge-pickup option.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Studio or rehearsal parts that call for isolated pickups and the two familiar combined pickup settings.
- Players wanting a rosewood-fingerboard Strat with a bridge humbucker for higher-output sounds.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Buyers who require a case or gig bag as part of the purchase.
