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.

One string was buzzing but I got it fixed for free in Samash store so I won’t take a star off. Otherwise the guitar is great for a beginner like me.

色が凄い良い！ネオングリーン、とは別に欲しかった理由はTHE GROOVERS藤井一彦さんの愛機でありましてREADⅡは憧れのギターでありました、ピックアップがl250に変更されているそうですが、アルニコ？のピックアップもまたパワフルでした、スイッチ類もなんかマニアックGOOD

Both toggle switches arrived broken and one was missing from the instrument entirely. Fender's number for customer service was completely unreliable and these issues were unable to be resolved. Instead of receiving a working item, I instead received a broken item forcing me to waste my own time returning it.

I was originally concerned about this purchase, I don't usually give too much regard to reviews cuz they can be hit or miss (unless there is an overwhelming amount of negative reviews) My concern was more towards purchasing a somewhat pricey guitar on amazon. I've had a bad experience with the first guitar purchase from amazon fortunately I was refunded. The guitar arrived a day earlier than anticipated from usps nicely done. First the negatives ... and believe me I really had to try like hell to find anything wrong with this purchase. That being said there was such a minor issue it's hardly worth noting but if I had to mention anything the "A" string was set (coiled around the tuner) in a miss coil as shown in picture... honestly not an issue seeing as I'll most likely replace strings in a month or so, other than that the guitar itself was shipped in a typical fender box and had undergone 4 point inspection, there was not much in terms of padding or packaging the neck was secured in the box, but the body of the guitar was able to swing around freely in the box, this seemed very odd to me seeing as how it could swing from side to side in the box during transport and get dinged up... I guess in this respect well done usps for handling the package with kid gloves. Seeing as those are the only negatives I could find ... the rest is pretty much self explanatory. Action on Bass E is perfect ... action on treble E is a little high for my liking but easily manageable and I think to compensate the pickup is also adjusted accordingly. Flawless in terms of presentation no scratches, dings, imperfections, it's honestly flawless, if I was purchasing this as a collector just to put on display it passed with flying colors. Performance is on point for Fender, amazing pickup, smooth flawless action, great sound clean and distorted. Overall happy with my purchase highly recommended, not sure who did the most work to provide this quality item be it Fender, inspectors, or usps for handling it perfectly, but job well done.

Lightweight guitar with old style tuning machines, if you're older, like me, you just want to put the string in the hole and play. 1st problem:These Tuners have a slot on top, no hole! Not old people friendly. I've been playing guitar for 30 years and never had a problem putting strings on. Now I have to buy new Tuning Machines after I spent more money for a Real Fender. 2nd Problem(actually the first problem, but Amazon worked with me to replace the Defective Input Jack on the first day) I was so happy with the sound and feel, I thought New Strings would finish it off, now I have to buy new Tuning Machines too.While Amazon does a great job, if it doesn't arrive perfect, you have to go to Guitar Center anyway, just saying. ps: this was my 1st problem on my 5th Guitar purchased thru Amazon.

This was the first new electric guitar I’ve bought in 25 years. My other is a Gordon Smith 2 60, which has been a brilliant guitar, but I’ve wanted a single coil instrument for a while. This Fender has a lovely compact body with contouring, a fixed bridge and two single coils. The body is a fair bit smaller than a Strat, and this shows in the weight. It’s very comfortable to wear for a long time. The neck is a comfortable C section, and it was nicely set up straight out of the box. The single coil tones are everything I wanted, combining with the light weight and 25.5” scale to give a really tight poppy yet smooth sound. The transparent red finish is very well applied, and all the controls have a quality feel to them. All in all, I’m delighted, and it was also delivered in only two days.

This guitar has low action with no buzzing and is not a heavy guitar, the maple gloss fret board is exstreamly nice and smooth the fret work is very good, I think fender could have dressed the frets and the nut a little better, other than that it’s a beautiful guitar. If your looking at buying your first electric guitar more towards the professional line of guitars, this guitar in my opinion would be the one I would have chosen and I did with no regrets, how ever with that being said everyone may have a different opinion, but I think for what it cost your getting a great guitar, fender could have sold this guitar for a lot more, they probably could have easily put a thousand dollar price on this guitar but they didn’t, it sounds pretty good for single coil pickups to, I think you should try one out if your interested. I hope this helps.
