Fender Player Telecaster Maple Fingerboard Electric Guitar (Butterscotch Blonde)

Some folks think Telecasters are a twanging one-trick pony. They obviously never played a Fender Player Series Telecaster. Loaded with dual Alnico V single-coil pickups, the Fender Player Telecaster delivers everything from country twang to jazzy articulation to high-octane rock 'n' roll — and anything in between. A modern "C"-shaped neck and 22-fret, 9.5-inch-radius fingerboard give you a decidedly contemporary feel with fast action and comfortable playability. You also get a synthetic bone nut, 6-saddle string-through bridge, and Fender standard sealed tuners. If you appreciate classic Telecaster tone but crave a more modern favor, pick up the Fender Player Series Telecaster. But be warned — you won't want to put it down.

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.

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.

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.

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.
