Its HSS pickup layout combines two Strat-style single-coils with a bridge humbucker for a broad range of amplified guitar sounds. It is suited to players who want familiar Stratocaster ergonomics with humbucker capability at the bridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn alder Stratocaster body provides the platform for the guitar's contoured design, while the maple neck uses Fender's Modern \"C\" profile. The neck has a satin urethane finish on its back and a gloss urethane headstock face. Rolled fingerboard edges, a 9.5-inch radius, and 22 medium-jumbo frets support conventional chord work, bends, and lead playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe electronics pair Player Series Alnico 5 Strat single-coil pickups in the neck and middle positions with a Player Series Alnico 2 humbucker at the bridge. A five-position blade switch selects the available pickup combinations. Master volume, a neck\/middle tone control, and a separate bridge tone control provide straightforward adjustment from the guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA two-point synchronized tremolo with bent steel saddles provides vibrato control, and a standard tremolo arm is specified for the bridge. Fender ClassicGear tuning machines use an 18:1 gear ratio for precise tuning adjustment. The guitar is factory specified with Fender USA 250L nickel-plated steel strings in .009-.042 gauge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Player II Stratocaster HSS fits naturally into an electric-guitar rig with an appropriate guitar amplifier and instrument cable.
