The Fender Player Telecaster is a modern, accessible rendition of an electric guitar icon that helped define popular music. This model enhances the legacy with contemporary features appealing to musicians of all skill levels.

Fender Player Telecaster Maple Fingerboard Alder Body

Solid Alder Body Produces Balanced Tone

This Tele features a solid alder body that generates a balanced tone with punchy lows and crisp highs. Alder's lightweight, resonant properties highlight the pickups' sonic characteristics, while the body shape, unchanged since the 1950s, is comfortable and familiar.

Fender Player Telecaster Maple Fingerboard Maple Neck

Fast Maple Neck Offers Modern Playability

The satin maple neck features a comfortable Modern C profile and 9.5" radius fingerboard for effortless soloing and bending. The Player Telecaster’s 22 medium-jumbo frets provide ample space for complex chords and melodies. Its neck construction produces the resonant, articulate tones the Tele is known for.

Fender Player Telecaster Maple Fingerboard Maple Alnico V Pickups

Player Series Pickups

Two Player Series Alnico V single-coil pickups deliver the cutting twang the Telecaster is renowned for. The bridge pickup produces a biting tone ideal for rock and country, while the neck pickup delivers warmth perfect for rhythm playing. A 3-way switch lets you choose either pickup alone or combine them for the classic Tele sound that shaped music.

Fender Player Telecaster Maple Fingerboard Maple Bridge

6-Saddle Bridge Delivers Precise Intonation

The 6-saddle bridge provides accurate intonation for chords and single notes across the fingerboard. Steel saddles transfer string vibration to the body, emphasizing brightness and attack. Individual saddle height adjustment customizes action and feel.

Whether you play rock, country, blues or jazz, this Player Series Tele offers tones that are perfect for whatever style you throw at it. This model's contemporary enhancements expand its versatility, while retaining its distinctive sound and style. Musicians wanting a broad-ranging workhorse will appreciate this guitar for life.
