I was a fan of the Player I series because of the price & playability. But this Player II Series is even better. The rolled edges on the neck are fantastic. The modern C neck I have always liked very much. The new vintage tuners are smooth & great to look at. There are no negatives here in my opinion & these guitars are a home run & the perfect Strat. Well done Fender.

I am very pleased with the new Fender player ll strat. This is my first strat in this price range in a while. I find it a bit better in quality as far as wood, electronics, etc. than a Squier. I think the price ranges tell it the way it is. I have some Squiers too. Quality is a little hit and miss on them. The Fender at a bit more money has a great feeling neck. Electronics seem fine. I dont think a pickup replacement is necessary either. Depends on what you want. But the pickups that come in it are just fine. Seems a bit heavier than the Squiers. To me it just feels and sounds like better quality. I dont see why you would need to pay twice as much for a strat Professional. But there again the quality seems better again. Everything has went up in price by quite a bit. I would tell anyone to buy this guitar.
