Conclusion
When Fender relaunched the Mexican Standard range to the Fender Player series in 2018, it really felt like things had moved up a gear. The satin necks and Alnico pickups were a huge improvement over the previous series.
The Fender Player II truly is taking the range to the next level! It’s hard to put into words how much of a difference the overall playing experience is with rolled fingerboard edges. The experience feels somehow more seamless and less about the instrument in my hands and more about the music it’s helping to create. The Rosewood fingerboards and ClassicGear tuners are very welcome additions to the range as are the revised Jazzmaster and Jaguar pickups.
