Product Description

The Fender Player Series offers legendary Fender design, classic wood combinations and instantly recognisable tone, but at a wallet-friendly price point. Fender have made a number of tweaks to take these instruments up a notch - expect timeless Fender sound and feel, but with modern playability and workhorse reliability to boot!

Body & Neck

They’ve opted for an Alder body for the Player Series Telecaster. Known for being simultaneously lightweight and tonally resonant, it's balanced in every sense of the word. Its sound is often described as rich, with some emphasis on upper-midrange brightness.

Then there's the other classic Tele tonewood: Maple. Known for its density, varied grain pattern and snappy tone, it perfectly complements the Alder used for the body. The one-piece design means your fretboard surface is the same as the neck, providing plenty of attack and even, comfortable navigation of the 22-fret range, complete with rounded edges.

Hardware & Electronics

Fender have loaded this Player Series Tele with Custom Shop '51 Nocaster pickups. These period-correct pickups have a tight low end with clear midrange – the result is an unbelievably authentic classic tone that has to be heard to be believed.

The bridge isn't quite the classic Tele configuration; rather than the old-school 3-saddle design, the 6-saddle design with block steel saddles offers greater tuning stability and arguably better resonance in the body. Though it plays a small part, it ultimately contributes to an instrument that's designed to be played night after night and consistently deliver.

Top it off with Standard Cast Fender tuners, a 3-ply scratchplate and classic knurled flat-top controls, all in a glorious chrome finish, and you've got an instrument that can take anything you throw at it - a Fender Telecaster through and through!

Mr. Gerald Hobday13th May 2020

I have owned many Telecasters and still have some special ones. This Tele has an absolutely amazing classic Tele sound with '51 nocaster pickups on the Mexican Player series guitar. The quality is stunning and is as enjoyable to play as the much more expensive guitars. The neck is slimmer than I am used to but is fine-the frets could have a slightly smoother finish. I would recommend this model to anyone who wants an exceptional Telecaster at a reasonable price and is perfect for gigs.
