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.

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.

For the price this guitar has no redeeming qualities. There are many other guitars at this price point that are vastly superior to this guitar. Neck looks like it was dipped in lacquer in a bucket, the frets are all sharp and uneven the pickups are basically useless. This is the biggest waste of money on the market today in my opinion. The only cool thing is the green color so I spent 750 for a green guitar that basically unplayable and sounds like garbage.
