General
The Fender Lead II from the Player Series is a worthy tribute to the eponymous model that first saw the light of day back in 1979. This indifferently cool Fender is made for guitarists seeking something different. The solid alder body wears a striking finish while two slanted Fender Alnico 5 single-coils deliver equally striking potency. Next to the pickup selector-switch, a phase switch is fitted, offering the unique power to flip the single-coils out of phase and produce that iconic 'quack' so loved by reggae and funk guitarists.
The Lead II: Direct, Familiar Feel
The nonchalant, effortless cool this guitar exudes is matched by its sheer playability. The modern C-profile maple neck, 9.5-inch fretboard radius and 22 medium frets offer a supple, refined and ultimately comfortable playing experience while, in contrast to models like the Mustang or Duo-Sonic, the Lead II has the standard 25.5-inch scale length found with the Strat and Tele. To finish the hardware, a fixed and ever stable bridge is fitted with six steel block-saddles that add satisfyingly bright tonal accents.

Habitue des modèles classiques strat US, MEX,et Télé, elle se situe entre les deux avec beaucoup de punch.
Micros, swich et sélecteur de phase permettent de couvrir une large étendue de sonorités.
A travailler avec pedalboard de qualité + amp à lampes, vous en tirerez des sons de ouf avec une lutherie de très bonne qualité ( réglages à faire au préalable).
Bon choix pour changer un peu des modèles traditionnels.
4/5 pour la qualité des mécaniques et réglages sillet de manche et pont. Montee avec du 10/46 voire 48, ça sonne!
