Step into the spotlight with the iconic tone and timeless style of the Player II Telecaster®. Built for today’s musicians, this stage-ready classic blends legendary Fender design with modern performance upgrades that inspire confidence and creativity.
The Modern “C”-shaped neck with a smooth satin urethane finish delivers fast, comfortable playability, while the 9.5”-radius maple or rosewood fingerboard features rolled edges and 22 medium jumbo frets for effortless movement across the neck. Choose from alder, chambered ash, or chambered mahogany bodies in both classic Fender finishes and striking archive-inspired new colours.
Equipped with Player Series Alnico V Single-Coil Tele® pickups, the Player II Telecaster produces crisp highs, rich mids and tight lows that suit everything from country twang and blues to rock and indie. A 3-way blade switch lets you shape your tone with ease, while the 6-saddle string-through-body bridge with block steel saddles and ClassicGear™ tuning machines provide excellent tuning stability and intonation.
With unmistakable looks, versatile tone and modern playability, the Player II Telecaster is perfect for players ready to craft their own sound with true Fender character.
