“With locking tuners and hard-tail bridges, these are built to play hard”: Fender stealth-launches limited edition Player II Advanced – an HH Telecaster and HSS Strat with ebony fingerboards and loaded with Seymour Duncan pickups

Fender Player II Advanced FSR.

Fender has launched a pair of hot new electric guitars on the fly, offering a twist on its top-selling Player II series – but you’ll need to be quick, because these FSR models are strictly limited edition and available only through select retailers.

The Player II Advanced series comprises the Telecaster HH and a hard-tail Stratocaster HSS, both loaded with Seymour Duncan electric guitar pickups and featuring a 12” radius ebony fingerboard, and this is one of those deals where the Big F cooks up some special specs (FSR stands for “Fender special run”), and releases them on the Q.T. You’ve got to sniff them out.
