Скачать или смотреть Fender's new guitar is a sign of the times (Player II Mod Series)

Fender’s Player II Mod Strat is almost identical to the American Ultra II — but costs less than half the price. In this video, I compare them head-to-head and explain why this might be Fender’s smartest move yet.

🎸 Thanks to Sweetwater for sponsoring this video and sending the Player II Mod for review. You can check out both guitars at the links below — it helps support the channel.

🧠 In my opinion, this guitar marks a bigger shift in the industry. As income inequality rises and younger players have less to spend, brands like Fender are leaning into value-focused gear to keep future players in the fold — and I think that’s just the beginning.

🎁 Plus — I’m giving away my favorite ribbon mic (AEA R92)! Details below.
