Description

Humbuckers arent the first thing most people think of when they think of Telecasters but its a match made in Heaven, and whats better than one humbucker? Two, of course. Fender keeps the specs stock across the board with an alder body, two Player Series single-coils, 9.5-radius fingerboard, and string-through bridge with bent-steel saddles, updating the neck profile to a very playable Modern C shape and throwing on dual humbucking pickups at the bridge and neck.

About Fender Player Series:

Founded by Leo Fender in 1938 as Fenders Radio Service, what is now the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation began making electric guitars and amplifiers in 1945. The rest, as they say, is history. Creator of the worlds first mass-produced, and by far most popular, solid-bodied electric, Fender is now the worlds leading guitar manufacturer.

Replacing the now-discontinued Standard series, the Fender Player Series honors the core Fender classics with quality construction, vintage-inspired finishes, select modern updates, and friendly price points that appeal to a range of aspiring and experienced players.
