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.

Wrote the following about Fender Player Series Lead II Neon Green MN Electric Guitar with Phase Switch
Heerlijk klinkende gitaar die net zo lekker speelt als een strat, maar ziet er in mijn mening door zijn vorm en hardware net wat unieker uit.

Wrote the following about Fender Player Series Lead II Neon Green MN Electric Guitar with Phase Switch
Fenderiste classique de cœur, j'ai voulu quand même essayer ce modèle.

Elle est belle et légèrement différente des Strats au niveau look.

C'est une bonne guitare pour ce prix au niveau lutherie corps et manche.

Jeu agréable y compris pour débutants.

Petit bubjet?: Allez y, pour avoir autre chose que les modèles classiques

Réglages impératifs à prévoir pour la faire sonner sans ajouter un semi-remorque d'effets.

Upgrader en 10/46 ou 10.5/46 est déjà un bon début, réglage thusrod et hauteur des micros impératif pour un bon équilibre de jeu.

Malgré tout, les micros ne m'ont pas convaincu. Quelques soient les réglage, on est pas dans la Strat, la Télé ou dans la Mustang ou autres guitares légendaires en simple bobinage. C'est spécial!

Je n'arrive pas non plus à approcher les sons des années 50/60/70.

Côté saturation, avec compresseur à lampe, Tube Driver et autres, c'est dur aussi mais pas mal in fine.

Si vous cherchez à sortir du lot, c'est gagné au niveau couleur sonore mais ne pas compter faire du heavy métal ou plus si affinité.

Bref je la garde pour la lutherie mais sera customisée pour sonner blues et rock un peu plus original et surtout pour accordage en open tuning et jeu avec bottle neck pour sonner "lap steel".

Nota: Essai sur preamp Mesa Boogie V-Twin rack et ampli Hiwatt.

4* par ce qu'elle sort du lot.
