Fender Player II Modified Series
The Fender Player II Modified Series combines traditional Fender elements with smart, modern upgrades. Think improved electronics, comfortable neck profiles, a compound fretboard radius, and special pickups that provide more headroom and dynamics. As a result, these guitars deliver a highly versatile sound—from warm cleans to tight crunch and powerful lead tones.
Tone, Playability & Applications
Within this series, you immediately notice how smooth the neck feels: the combination of a modern C‑shape profile, satin finish and enhanced fingerboard radius provides a comfortable playing experience for both rhythm work and fast soloing. The new Modified pickups offer extra clarity and punch, helping you cut through the mix—perfect for pop, rock, worship, funk and even lighter metal styles.
Compared to the standard Player Series, these models deliver noticeably more dynamics, greater tonal variety and a more modern feel, without losing the iconic Fender character. The craftsmanship is also more refined, with attention to detail in hardware, fretwork and electronics.
Practical Information
All guitars from this series come with a tremolo arm (if applicable), the necessary Allen keys and documentation. If you want to expand your setup further, consider adding a sturdy gig bag or case, a reliable clip‑on tuner, high‑quality instrument cables, effect pedals, or an amplifier—all available in the wide assortment at Joh. de Heer.

This Tele variant adds a humbucker in the bridge position, giving you a powerful, round lead sound without losing the clarity of the neck single coil. Perfect for guitarists who want both warm cleans and strong drive from a single instrument. The SH configuration makes this model especially suitable for rock, pop and modern praise music.

A modern interpretation of the classic Strat feel. The three updated single coils deliver sparkling cleans, tight funky rhythms and detailed crunch tones. The smooth tremolo, comfortable neck and refined finish give this model an extremely versatile character. An excellent choice for players who want maximum dynamics from a traditional Strat setup.
Fender Player II Modified Stratocaster HSS
This Strat offers more power at the bridge thanks to the humbucker, while the two single coils maintain that typical Strat sparkle. This allows you to switch easily between clean pop‑funk tones and heavier rock parts. Ideal for players who perform in multiple styles but want one reliable guitar.

Fender Player II Modified Active Jazz Bass
This modern Jazz Bass combines the familiar J‑style articulation with a powerful active preamp. This gives you extra headroom, more punch and a highly versatile sound that adapts easily to pop, rock, funk and fusion. The dual single‑coil pickups retain their open, bright character, while the active EQ provides enough flexibility for crisp slaps as well as warm, rounded bass lines.
Fender Player II Modified Active Precision Bass
This active P‑Bass delivers the classic, full midrange that the Precision is known for, but with added modern control and extra dynamics. The active electronics provide more presence and definition, helping you stand out clearly in both the mix and on stage. An excellent choice for bassists who want the traditional P‑Bass character with more flexibility and power than a passive model.
Fender Player II Modified Active Jazz Bass V
The five‑string Active Jazz Bass offers deep, tight low frequencies without sacrificing the brightness of the Jazz single coils. The active preamp gives you plenty of tonal shaping and headroom, making this model ideal for modern styles where the low B string plays an active role—such as worship, fusion, pop, R&B or technical rock. A versatile bass that delivers both finesse and power.
