Today, Fender is adding a dash of glam to its best-selling class of electric and bass guitars with the release of the Limited Edition Player II, Sparkle 3-Color Sunburst.
Available in a stunning limited-edition finish, the range will see the new colourway added to the Player II Stratocaster, Telecaster, Precision Bass and Jazz Bass, boasting a selection of stage-ready guitars with contemporary updates to power your performance and inspire your playing.
Not only does the new Limited Edition Player II, Sparkle 3-Color Sunburst range radiate timeless Fender charm, but under the hood, it’s primed for players ready to take that next step in their musical journey. Last year, Player II set a new benchmark for quality and performance in the mid-price points with key features such as:
- Taking everything that made the original range great (Modern ”C” shaped necks, 9.5” radius fingerboards, and medium jumbo frets) and upping the ante with rosewood fingerboards, upgraded bridges and hardware, rolled fingerboard edges and so much more.
- Four never-released vintage colorways will also feature – Coral Red, Aquatone Blue, Hialeah Yellow and Birch Green – rare 50’s and 60’s vintage car colors pulled from the archives
- New options for chambered ash and chambered mahogany bodies.
