Open Box Fender Player II Stratocaster HSS Rosewood Fingerboard Limited-Edition Electric Guitar Level 2 Candy Red Burst 197881373825

I bought this guitar for my daughter for xmas because she was obsessed with it and kept making me go back to the store. When it came in, it is a beauty. Very resonant and the rosewood on this one is gorgeous. Got it setup to lower the strings a bit as they were slightly too high.

I have bought tons of guitars thru the years. Sometimes you are satisfied and sometimes disappointed. This guitar showed up today at my house and it is blowing my freakin mind how nice it is. The fit and finish is perfect. The neck is so playable. What just freakin happened?.. I lowered the action to unbelievably low and zero fret buzz.. anywhere. The tone is clear and when I switch to the bridge pickups it has tons of drive… I bought a player I telecaster a few years ago and I've been tweaking it ever since to get it right. I am so glad I bought this guitar…Fender has knocked it out of the park with this player II.

I went to my local guitar center thinking I would get the player 2 in blue with the maple fret board but this one stole my attention immediately - the color and the darker rosewood fret board look so nice. The floor model was set up better too which sealed the deal. The action was good and sound was excellent played through the store amp. I took home a new boxed model and have unboxed it and it is playing beautifully as is. I am not a pro and don't expect to be (ever) and the factory components seem more than sufficient for what I do! And the color… again… oh my! So far I'm very happy with this purchase considering the value at this price point.

I bought this guitar online and it said it would be new/unopened. However when I went to pick it up, it was a floor model which I don't really care about, however the 5 way switch tip was missing and it didn't come with the whammy bar. It's really a great guitar and I love it, plays great, the neck feels amazing. however I don't like that it wasn't said I was getting a floor model or that the pieces were missing.

This Strat is drop dead gorgeous. Outstanding performer. The price was more than fair. Would buy again in a heartbeat.

This was discounted as an open box (blemished guitar.) Looks brand new. Only evidence that it had been opened was the plastic wrap had been peeled off the pick guard. Doesn't look like it was ever played. Required tuning, but setup is very good. Very pleasant to play and sounds great. Another reviewer was not pleased that the 70th anniversary imprint shown in the listing was not on the headstock. When I registered mine on the Fender website it said it was made in 2025. I believe 2024 was the 70th anniversary so probably why the 2025 one is missing the imprint. When registered, the Fender website confirmed that it was a Limited Edition. I also own a Schecter Omen, a Gretsch, and a Taylor. The Gretsch is the only one that required some setup work to get it playing well. I would definitely recommend this guitar and Guitar Center. The associate I spoke with on chat was very helpful.
