This is the full 'jam' component, unedited, lifted from my 'chatty' Player II Modified Stratocaster demo which can be viewed at youtu.be/WfNMV-I3MXI. .
The Fender Player II Modified line offers a bunch of welcome appointments not previously featured in the Player range. The Modified Stratocaster, available in 5-6 colours at the time of writing, comes with Noiseless Pickups, Locking Tuners, Player II Noiseless Strat Pickups and a push/pull Tone 2 that lets you engage the neck pickup in positions 1 & 2. The 9.5" radius Modern C profiled maple neck is finished beautifully with medium-jumbo frets, rounded shoulders for a played-in feel, and a satin-urethane finish to eliminate any friction while moving up and down the neck. And how good is the Harvest Green Metallic finish? I like it. A lot.
About this track:
The backing track, "Psychedelic Bluesy Groove - G Minor" is by Elevated Jam Tracks. All guitar amp/effects are generated by my Fractal Audio Axe-FX III Turbo running FW 28.03. The clean tones are a '65 Deluxe Reverb model with a Dynacomp in front. The dirt tones are HIWATT DR103 with either a SD-1 in front or, when you hear the fuzz, a Big Muff Pi. Stereo delay and reverb are also added along with smatterings of Leslie and Univibe. Everything is modelled in the Axe
