Modern playability for effortless performance
The Fender Player II Modified Telecaster is designed for smooth, fluid playability, making it a perfect choice for both seasoned guitarists and those looking to elevate their performance. The modern "C" maple neck offers a comfortable grip, while the satin urethane finish on the back ensures a silky feel for seamless movement across the fretboard. With a 9.5"-radius fingerboard and rolled edges, this Tele provides a familiar yet refined experience, allowing for easy bends, fast runs, and effortless chord transitions. Ideal for rhythm and lead work, the 22 medium-jumbo frets offer plenty of room for expressive playing, making this Telecaster a true extension of your style.
Player II noiseless pickups for classic Tele tones
Capturing the essence of a Telecaster while eliminating unwanted hum, the Player II Noiseless Tele pickups deliver the twang and bite that have made this model a favourite for generations. Clean tones stay crisp and articulate, while overdriven sounds retain punch and clarity. From bright, cutting bridge tones to warm, rounded neck tones, this Tele provides a well-balanced sonic range. The push-pull tone control adds another layer of versatility, switching the pickup wiring from parallel to series for a thicker, more powerful sound. Covering everything from crisp country tones to smooth blues and rock-driven punch, this Telecaster adapts to your playing needs.
Reliable tuning and stability for any performance
Staying in tune is crucial for any performance, and this Tele is built to keep your sound consistent. Fender has equipped it with short post locking tuners, a Graph Tech TUSQ nut, and a modern string tree to provide rock-solid tuning stability. The locking tuners make string changes quick and effortless while keeping everything secure. The TUSQ nut enhances sustain and tuning reliability, even when playing aggressive bends or dynamic lead lines. The modern string tree reduces friction, keeping string tension balanced for smooth tuning adjustments. Together, these components ensure your Tele stays in perfect tune through every session and performance.
Modern Tele bridge for enhanced sustain and intonation
Bringing a contemporary twist to a classic design, the modern Tele bridge on this model is built for precision and stability. Featuring a 6-saddle string-through-body design with block brass saddles, it enhances intonation, sustain, and tuning accuracy. The bridge plate is cut away at the sides, giving you more room for hybrid picking or palm muting without interference. Brass saddles add warmth and sustain while keeping each note articulate and well-defined. From intricate fingerpicking patterns to heavier riffs, this bridge ensures your tone remains rich and well-balanced across every note.
