Originally coming out in 2018, the Fender Player Series rapidly became some of the big F’s best-selling electric guitars. The ability to have the proper Fender logo emblazoned upon your headstock was a huge selling point, giving a younger generation of guitar players the chance to finally emulate their own guitar heroes at a much more reasonable price point.
We got a sort of Player 1.5 update in the Player Plus Series that was released in 2021, which featured bold new colorways and more modern features like push-pull knobs, locking tuners, and rolled fretboard edges. For players who preferred their guitars of the more classic styling, they may have felt a little left out by this release. Now, we finally get our hands on the full-blown sequel in the Fender Player Series II Stratocaster & Telecaster.
