The Player II Modified Telecaster® is a classic guitar with the modern player in mind.

The alder body provides classic Fender punch and is available in a variety of exciting new finishes. The Player II noiseless™ pickups deliver classic Tele® twang and bite while eliminating unwanted noise and the push/pull switch on the tone control provides even more tonal flexibility by changing the pickup wiring from parallel to series for fatter tones. The 6-saddle bridge, short post locking tuners, TUSQ® nut and modern string tree all combine to keep tuning incredibly stable for even the most demanding bends or roaring rock leads.

FEATURES 

Modern "C" Neck Profile With 9.5"-Radius Fingerboard and Rolled Edges

This neck is designed for supremely comfortable performance, with a silky-smooth satin back and our Modern “C”-profile. The 9.5”-radius fingerboard facilitates fluid leads and choke free bends, while the hand-rolled fingerboard edges provide a broken-in feel that’s incredibly inviting.

New Player II Noiseless Tele Pickups 

The Player II Modified noiseless™ pickups deliver twangy, biting Tele® tones while removing unwanted noise. These pickups are perfect for any performance, sound great with gain and are our most natural-sounding noiseless pickups yet.

Upgraded Electronics 

A push-pull switch on the tone control changes the pickup wiring from parallel to series for fatter tones. The treble bleed circuit retains natural high-end when rolling off the volume, preserving sparkly cleans and chime-y edge-of-breakup tones.

Modern Tele Bridge With 6 Block Brass Saddles 

The bridge plate is cut away on the sides to enable total freedom of movement, perfect for hybrid picking. The 6 block brass saddles provide improved intonation, sustain and tuning stability.

Short Post Locking Tuning Machines

Short post locking tuning machines provide a sharper break angle over the nut for increased sustain and enhanced tuning stability while making string changes fast and easy.

TUSQ Nut and Modern String Tree

The Graph Tech® TUSQ® nut provides unparalleled tuning stability when emulating steel bends or playing roaring rock leads and produces more harmonics in the mid and upper range. The modern string tree provides a smooth travel surface for the strings, preventing hang ups and keeping tuning stable during the most demanding performances.
