Fender Player II Stratocaster HSS MN Transparent Mocha Burst

Strat Chime, Humbucker Punch and a Smoother Modern Playing Feel

The Fender Player II Stratocaster HSS combines familiar Strat versatility with extra weight and bite from its Player Series Alnico II bridge humbucker. Alnico V single coils in the middle and neck retain the clear, glassy side of the Strat sound, while the 5-way blade moves from bridge humbucker roar through mixed positions to neck pickup chime. Transparent Mocha Burst and a 3-ply Parchment pickguard give the chambered Mahogany body a warm, understated look, while the Mahogany provides a rich tonal foundation.

The Maple neck uses a Modern “C” profile with a satin urethane back, rolled fingerboard edges and 22 Medium Jumbo frets. Its 241 mm (9.5") radius supports comfortable fretting and fluid bends, while the 648 mm (25.5") scale keeps the familiar Strat string response. A 2-point synchronized tremolo with bent steel saddles provides smooth vibrato action, and ClassicGear tuners use an 18:1 ratio for precise fine-tuning.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this Stratocaster is a great fit for players who want traditional single-coil sparkle but need a stronger bridge sound for heavier rhythm work and driven lead tones.
