Enhanced playability
The Fender Player II Modified Telecaster SH is designed with modern playability in mind. Its Modern "C"-shaped maple neck offers a smooth satin urethane finish, making it easy to navigate across the fretboard with speed and precision. The 9.5” radius rosewood fingerboard provides a comfortable feel for intricate lead lines and solid rhythm playing, while the rolled fingerboard edges create a worn-in, natural feel straight out of the box. With 22 medium jumbo frets, you get extra reach for expressive bends and effortless chord transitions, making this Tele an excellent choice for any style.
Versatile pickup configuration
This Telecaster brings the best of both worlds with its unique SH pickup configuration. The Player II Modified humbucker in the neck delivers a warm, full-bodied sound that handles gain beautifully, while the push/pull tone control splits the humbucker, providing access to classic Tele neck single-coil tones. The Player II Noiseless Tele bridge pickup retains all the twang, snap, and clarity you expect, but without unwanted hum or feedback. From thick, overdriven tones to crisp, articulate cleans, this pickup combination gives you the flexibility to cover a wide range of sounds with ease.
Upgraded hardware for stability
Fender has packed this model with premium hardware upgrades to ensure rock-solid performance. The short post locking tuning machines make string changes a breeze while improving tuning stability, thanks to a consistent break angle over the nut. A TUSQ nut and modern string tree further enhance sustain and keep tuning issues at bay, even during aggressive bending or extended playing sessions. These thoughtful upgrades keep your sound consistent and reliable, no matter how demanding your performance.
Precision-engineered bridge
The modern Tele bridge with block brass saddles is designed for superior sustain, resonance, and intonation. The six-saddle design allows for precise string height and intonation adjustments, ensuring every note rings out clearly. The cutaway bridge plate provides extra freedom for picking hand movement, making it an excellent choice for hybrid picking, country bends, or fast rock riffs. With improved tuning stability, enhanced sustain, and effortless playability, this upgraded bridge ensures the guitar delivers at every level.
