Player Lead II
(Black)

style, power & versatilityFender created the Lead Series in 1979 in response to an influx of high-quality, low-priced import guitars. These feature a new solid-body design, hard-tail bridges and interesting new wiring options. Suitable for a wide range of players for any genre, the sleek new Lead models kicked started new creative era in Fender’s history.
The Player Lead II is a tribute to those late 70's models, featuring dual-slanted Player series single coil pickups, a modern "C" neck shape with medium jumbo frets, dual-toggle switches (one for pickup selection, one for phase-reverse), and of course that unique Lead double-cutaway shape. Available in Neon Green, as well as vintage-correct Crimson Red Transparent and Black.
