Fender Player II Telecaster Electric Guitar Birch Green Rosewood Fingerboard

Alder and maple — the essence of Fender tone

We’ve all heard the saying, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!” And that’s undoubtedly one guiding principle behind the Player II Telecaster. Classic construction and an alder body grant balanced comfort, whether sitting or standing. Alder oozes with quintessential Fender sonics: lively harmonic color, a fast response, and middle-of-the-road sustain that lends body to solos and chords. The Player II Telecaster has a revered solid maple neck and smooth rosewood fingerboard, supplying you with bell-like note clarity and snappy touch-sensitive attack to fingerstyle or plectrum play. In keeping with contemporary tastes, the neck offers speed-friendly agility with a more modern “C”-shaped profile suitable for virtually any player.

Player II perks

The Player II Series Telecaster features small changes that, although departures from yesteryear’s Teles, tend to suit today’s players and help them reach their goals quickly, even if that goal is spending less time on guitar maintenance! The Player II Tele has a 6-saddle string-through bridge. Compared to the original Tele’s 3-barrel bridge, this pivot brings huge intonation benefits, along with better tuning stability and a moderate bump in sustain. ClassicGear tuners by Fender frame the Tele headstock just right and perform more accurately with higher ratios than vintage tuners. Lastly, rolled fingerboard edges are an incredibly high-value addition. The superior comfort can’t be stressed enough — you get the smooth, musical feel of a worn fingerboard, all without losing that attractive mint-condition look and factory-fresh performance!

Famous pickups with a twist

You’re sure to cut through the mix, thanks to the Player II Series Telecaster’s Alnico V pickups. These single-coil pickups deliver classic sounds that have been with us since the dawn of the Tele, but with increased punch and output. The extra brawn of Alnico V pickups brings firepower and sizzle to chicken pickin’ and leads. But the added oomph is also suitable for driving effects pedals or for getting stadium-sized tones when plugging into low-wattage combos, amp sims, and recording interfaces. Need less twang? The neck pickup smooths the cadence and body of clean jazz, country lines, and mellow riffs. Full-on amp distortion sounds great in either position, yielding tight lows and stinging highs. Aggressive twang, smoky jazz, saturated high gain — everything sounds great through these pickups.

The Fender Telecaster: a brief history

This is it: the original guitar that started Fender’s march into contemporary music history. It appeared in the early 1950s and was first named the Broadcaster. The ingeniously simple design, the bolt-on neck, and the slab body all contribute to the guitar’s trademark tones and player-friendly feel. From Nashville twang to blistering rock tones, the Telecaster sound has made its presence felt in nearly every musical category. The diverse list of Telecaster players — including Muddy Waters, Keith Richards, James Burton, Bruce Springsteen, Joe Strummer, and John 5 — attests to the guitar’s universal appeal.
