Bold, innovative and rugged, the Player Telecaster is pure Fender, through and through. The feel, the style and, most importantly, the sound-theyre all there, waiting for you to make them whisper or wail for your music. Versatile enough to handle almost anything you can create and durable enough to survive any gig, this workhorse is a trusty sidekick for your musical vision. Respecting Fender's heritage while maintaining their innovative spirit, the pair of Player Series single-coil Telecaster pickups are crisp and articulate-its authentic Fender tone with a modern edge. The Modern C-shaped maple necks comfortable contours and smooth finish are ideal for almost any playing style. By adding a 22nd medium jumbo fret to the contemporary 9.5-radius fingerboard weve made it easier to express yourself musically. To enhance the traditional twang and bite of a Telecaster, Fender added block saddles to the string-through-body bridge for precise intonation and to help your sound cut through the mix, sustaining until the sun burns out. Other features include master volume and tone controls, a 3-way pickup switch with barrel tip, 3-ply pickguard, synthetic bone nut, dual-wing string tree, sealed tuning machines and four-bolt F-stamped neck plate that marks this instrument as the real dealas Fender as it gets.
