Fender Player Lead III Electric Guitar, Pau Ferro FB, Metallic Purple 014-4313-577

In response to high-quality, low-priced import guitars, 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. Available in Neon Green, as well as vintage-correct Crimson Red Transparent and Black.

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

FEATURES

• Player Series Stratocaster Single-Coil Pickups

HIGHLIGHTS

MODERN “C” NECK SHAPE WITH 9.5″ RADIUS AND MEDIUM JUMBO FRETS
Our Modern “C” neck is comfortable and slim for fast action and effortless bending.

SPECIAL SWITCHING

HARDTAIL STRINGS THROUGH BODY STRAT BRIDGE
A hardtail bridge enhances vibration transfer resulting in increased sustain while the six individual saddles can be adjusted for precise intonation along each string.
