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.

Highlights

ALDER, CHAMBERED ASH OR CHAMBERED MAHOGANY BODY

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.

MODERN "C" NECK PROFILE

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.

9.5“-RADIUS MAPLE OR ROSEWOOD FINGERBOARD WITH ROLLED EDGES

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.

PLAYER SERIES PICKUPS

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.

6-SADDLE STRING-THROUGH-BODY TELE® BRIDGE WITH BLOCK STEEL SADDLES

This string-through-body bridge features block-steel saddles for classic Tele tone with precise intonation and rock-solid stability.

CLASSICGEAR™ TUNING MACHINES

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.
