Fender Player Lead III Metallic Purple

The Fender Player Lead III is here presented in Metallic Purple with Pau Ferro fretboard. This 2020 addition to the Player Series harks back to the original 1982 model Lead III, fitted with two humbuckers as an alternative to the Lead II with its twin single coils. Here coming with twin Player Series Alnico 2 Humbucking pickups, the tone is fat and powerful - perfect for overdriven sounds. Coil split is also available, thanks to a second toggle switch.

Fender Player Lead III in Metallic Purple

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 III, a tribute to the original 1982-only model, features a set of hot alnico Player humbucking pickups, dual-toggle switches for pickup selection and coil-splits, and a modern "C" neck shape with medium jumbo frets. The Player Lead Series offers style, power and versatility in a comfortable, easy-to-play package.
