Limited Edition Player II Stratocaster®, Shell Pink

Iconic Fender Style with Modern Upgrades

The Limited Edition Player II Stratocaster® in Shell Pink is a stage-ready electric guitar from Fender, combining timeless design with contemporary features for players across Australia. Crafted to deliver the classic Stratocaster sound—bell-like highs, punchy mids, and robust lows—this limited-edition model features a vibrant Shell Pink finish, making it a standout choice for guitarists seeking both tone and aesthetic appeal.

High-Quality Performance

The Player II Stratocaster is built for modern players, featuring:

• Chambered Ash Body: Provides resonant snap and lightweight comfort with iconic Fender contours.
• Pure Vintage ’65 Single-Coil Pickups: Deliver powerful, clean, and clear mid-’60s Stratocaster tones, ideal for surf rock, blues, and more. The 5-way blade switch offers versatile tones, from glassy neck pickup cleans to rowdy bridge pickup snarl.
• Modern “C” Neck Profile: A silky satin urethane finish on the back and a gloss urethane headstock face ensure fast, fluid playability.
• 9.5”-Radius Rosewood Fingerboard: With rolled edges and 22 medium jumbo frets, it facilitates smooth bends and leads.
• 2-Point Synchronized Tremolo: Equipped with bent steel saddles for expressive vibrato and stable tuning, complemented by ClassicGear™ tuning machines. Users praise its tonal versatility and playability, with a Guitar Center review noting, “The Shell Pink finish pops, and the Pure Vintage pickups nail classic Strat tones.” Some note the chambered ash body slightly alters the traditional Strat sound, leaning brighter, which may not suit players seeking vintage warmth.

Durable and Stylish Design

Crafted in Fender’s Ensenada, Mexico facility, the guitar features:

• Shell Pink Gloss Finish: A limited-edition color with a 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard and aged white plastic parts for a retro-modern aesthetic.
• Chambered Ash Body: Lightweight at ~7.5–8.5 lbs (depending on specific model), enhancing comfort for long sessions.
• Slab Rosewood Fingerboard: With white dot inlays and a 25.5” scale length for classic Fender feel.
• Nickel/Chrome Hardware: Includes a 2-point tremolo bridge and ClassicGear™ tuners for durability and tuning stability. Backed by a 2-year warranty, it’s built for stage and studio use. The guitar is sold out at many retailers like Fender.com and Guitar Center, but some units may be available at third-party sellers like Reverb or eBay, often at a premium due to its limited-edition status.
