Step into the spotlight and experience iconic Fender® sound and style with the Player II Telecaster® — a stage-ready guitar with contemporary updates to power your performance and inspire your playing.
The Player II Telecaster radiates timeless Fender charm, but under the hood, it's primed for today's players. Everything about the neck is designed for fast and fluid playability, from the Modern “C”-profile with silky satin urethane finish on the back to the comfy 9.5”-radius slab rosewood or maple fingerboard with smooth rolled edges and 22 medium jumbo frets. 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.

It's a fantastic guitar that's going to be a workhorse for years to come. You can get so many sounds out of it, it's got a slightly slimmer neck than the Mexican-made Fenders I've had in the past, but I like that. The six saddles are so much better for intonation than the vintage two-per-string ones. Conversely, the vintage style tuners are fantastic, because you conceal those sharp string ends.
I'd say the weight is average, as some people have reviewed them as being a heavy guitar.
I'm really stoked with it, and the Music Junction staff were helpful and responsive.
