Overview

In response to low-priced import competition, Fender created the Lead Series in 1979, featuring a new solid-body design, hard-tail bridges and cool new wiring options. Appealing to a wide variety of players, the sleek new Lead models kicked off a fresh creative era in Fender's history.

See the Fender Lead II and III in action from Fender:

The Player Lead II is an homage 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.

The Player Lead Series offers style, power and versatility in a comfortable, easy-to-play package.

The '79 Lead II's are my favorite guitars from 54 years of playing. These new ones turn me on but, no one seems to be able to tune them. That's a shame, because I really wanted to buy 2 more.

54 years. Union musician.

Musical Style:

Christian rock. Secular rock. Blues. Jazz. Fusion...
