More Info
Choose from alder, chambered ash or chambered mahogany bodies available in both classic Fender finishes and never-before-seen colors unearthed from the archives. Player Series Alnico V Single-Coil Tele® pickups offer crystalline highs, musical mids and tight lows that elevate any genre. The 3-way blade switch lets you dial in everything from smooth neck pickup chime to cutting bridge pickup twang and all points in between, while a 6-saddle bridge, block steel saddles and ClassicGear™ tuners ensure precise tuning stability for the flexibility to explore endless sonic possibilities.
Perfect for crafting your own sound, the Player II Telecaster has the looks, tone and feel that only a Fender delivers. Custom tailor the sound and look of your Player series instrument and choose from the resonant snap of chambered swamp ash, the rich warmth of chambered mahogany or the classic punch of alder. This neck is designed for supremely comfortable performance, with silky smooth back finish and our Modern “C”-profile — for first-class feel that’s ideal for almost any playing style. The 9.5”-radius fingerboard facilitates fluid leads and choke free bends, while the hand-rolled fingerboard edges provide a slightly broken-in feeling that’s incredibly inviting. A modern tweak of our classic sound, our Player Series pickups are designed with more power and more bite, for authentic Fender tone—with a bit of an edge. This string-through-body bridge features block-steel saddles for classic Tele tone with precise intonation and rock-solid stability. Combining vintage style with a modern 18:1 gear ratio, ClassicGear tuning machines deliver smooth, reliable performance that make it easier to fine-tune your instrument.
