Highlights

PLAYER SERIES PICKUPS

Designed for authentic Fender tone—with a bit of an edge—the Player Series pickups keep a foot in the past while looking to the future.

BLOCK-STEEL BRIDGE SADDLES

This string-through-body Telecaster bridge features block-steel saddles to add a bit of zing to your tone.

“Modern C” NECK PROFILE

This neck is designed for comfort and performance, with a “Modern C”-shaped profile and a smooth back finish—ideal for almost any playing style.

22 FRETS

Adding another fret lets you bend the highest D up to an E, giving you access to four octaves of musical possibilities.

MORE TRADITIONAL BODY RADII

The Player Telecaster body is hand-shaped to original specifications.

“F”-STAMPED NECK PLATE

Each Player Telecaster includes an “F”-stamped neck plate, leaving no doubt as to the instrument’s pedigree.
