QR Code Link to This Post
Includes: Original Fender gig bag
Up for sale is a 2025 Fender Player II Modified Stratocaster HSS with Floyd Rose in Dusk (excellent condition).
This guitar is essentially like new—no scratches or wear, and only a small cosmetic ding on the very top of the headstock (see photos). This guitar has been well cared for in a smoke-free studio environment and plays exactly as it should.
The Fender Player II Modified series is a step up from the standard Player II line, with upgraded feel and modern performance features.
The Floyd Rose system stays stable and smooth, and the HSS pickup configuration makes this guitar extremely versatile—from clean tones to high-gain lead work. You can quite literally play any style of music on this guitar. The noiseless single coils sound great and authentic without hum, and the Alnico II humbucker delivers increased output and mid-bite (but can be coil-split for single coil tones if desired via a push-pull Tone knob).
The guitar is stock, other than two minor changes: I changed the original white control knobs to black, and added a Floyd Rose Trem-Endous Tremolo Stabilizer in the trem cavity, to help minimize bridge movement when palm muting. I have upgraded dual-use Dunlop Strap-Loks on the guitar currently but will put the original strap buttons back on prior to sale if desired. The back dust cover plate is off currently but I will also put it back on prior to sale.
Key Features:
HSS pickup configuration (versatile for any style); two Player II Noiseless single coil pickups and one Player II Modified Humbucker (Alnico II)
Volume knob has factory-installed treble bleed to maintain high end clarity when rolling back volume
Push-pull Tone knob to coil-split the humbucker and get SSS functionality when you want it (classic Position 2 sound)
Rosewood fretboard with factory rolled edges for premium feel; satin finish on back of the maple neck keeps it fast
Floyd Rose Special tremolo system with locking nut and bar string tree
Modern C neck profile (fast and comfortable), with a 12 inch fretboard radius and 22 medium-jumbo frets
Beautiful Dusk finish; appears to be black in some lighting conditions but "changes" into a rich, glossy purple color under certain light
Why I’m selling:
Just downsizing gear—no issues with the guitar at all.
Condition Notes:
No scratches or fret wear - guitar is in excellent condition and ready for a new home
Set up and ready to play

Asking $850
