Fender’s Player Series has been ubiquitous with great value guitars that deliver the look and sound of a real Fender without costing the earth. A step above any Squier, the Made in Mexico Player Series proved a massive hit, allowing for that famous logo to adorn the headstocks of any player, young or old. It’s been a standard for beginner and intermediate players since its launch in 2018, and one of Fender’s best-selling lines too.
The Fender Player II Series isn’t actually the next stepping stone from the original Player though. We got the Player Plus Series in 2021, which introduced some of the concepts that would eventually make their way to Player II, but wrapped in a much more modern, and some would say younger, aesthetic with some pretty out-there colorways, plus Noiseless pickups and flat radius fingerboards.
