The Player II version of Fender’s legendary Telecaster showcases value-packed upgrades and increased comfort for gigging musicians, singer-songwriters, home-studio creators and more. Playability has been improved with a rosewood (rather than pau ferro, as on the 2018 Player series model) or maple fingerboard with super-smooth rolled edges. Tuning ease and integrity are enhanced with Fender ClassicGear tuning machines with a precise 18:1 gear ratio. The wow factor gets a boost with timeless Fender finishes, as well as new, vintage-inspired colors never-before-seen on production models. The Player II Telecaster also features an alder body, modern C-shape neck, 22 medium-jumbo frets, Alnico V Tele single-coils and a six-saddle string-through-body bridge.
“The cultural significance of the Telecaster is massive,” says jazz guitarist and former prodigy (he was the subject of a music documentary at eight years old, played the Grammy Awards at 12 and became a faculty member of the Stanford Jazz Workshop at 15) Julian Lage. “One of my gods is Jimmy Bryant-an early adopter of the Telecaster-and his touch, tone, facility and conception on this instrument is everything I associate with the modern jazz guitar player. Because the Tele is a solidbody, the expressiveness and nuance of everything I play goes directly to the pickups. That was a big win as the Telecaster dug me deeper into the world of jazz. The Player II Telecaster speaks to what I like about all Telecasters-something that’s balanced and comfortable to play, and that has the right tonal ratio between attack and a blooming warmth.”
Just like the Player II Stratocaster, the Player II Telecaster is available in chambered ash and chambered mahogany versions.
