Product Description:

Resonating with the rich history of Fender, the Fender Player Telecaster is a testament to timeless design and relentless innovation. This modern rendition of a classic guitar is built to deliver an authentic Fender tone with a contemporary edge. The Player Series Alnico V single-coil pickups inject a punchy, articulate tone that can seamlessly shift from country twang to jazzy inflections to high-octane rock 'n' roll.

The guitar features a comfortable 'Modern C' shaped maple neck with a 9.5" radius fretboard, making it perfect for fast, effortless playing. Along with 22 medium jumbo frets, it offers ample space for wide bends and vibrato, making it your ideal partner for musical exploration. The solid alder body ensures a balanced, resonant tone that is sure to cut through the mix.

The Fender Player Telecaster is not just about sound; it's about style and durability. Its gloss Tidepool finish ensures a stylish appearance under the stage lights, while its robust build can survive any gig. It's a workhorse that is versatile enough to handle anything you throw at it, and durable enough to keep going gig after gig. This is a guitar that truly embodies Fender's spirit- it's built for the stage and ready for action.

nice neck, some feet sprout. stock pickups were alright

swapped out the pickups for a Seymour Duncan hot rail in the bridge and put some bare knuckle in the neck. The pickups weren’t horrible but they just didn’t suit my playing. (used on “Not So Kino”)

Great guitar for it's price

Although it had some issues at first, mostly buzzing of the E A and high E strings, i gave it back for service work and it turned out to be a neck issue so i got a replacement. After that it plays great, sounds great and looks great.

Preferred Settings + Usage:

The bridge pickup with an overdrive pedal, drive at 2,5 treble at 1,5, full tone, full volume, Amp settings: Treble 8 Mids 7 Bass 5, is great for an alternative tone, add some distortion to it and it becomes really heavy.

Fantastic Guitar

I've had this Tele for a couple years now and it's been my go to guitar for almost everything. I know people rave about American made Fenders, but honestly, I can't see myself spending that much more money for something just as good as this. Fantastic guitar.

All you need from a guitar at any level of playing.

Robust, great sounding and well playing instrument with an amazing look and feel. Telecasters are great for your playing, particularly if you traditionally gravitate towards complex and endlessly versatile guitars with millions of switches as I personally do. Love my tele, and think this series of Made In Mexico Guitars are all you really truly need as a player.

Amazing value

This is my cheapest guitar, but I play it just as much as my fancier ones. Installed nocaster pickups and a four-way switch, and I love the versatility that adds!

Perfect Beginner guitar

I was a beginner player whenever I got this guitar, however the guitar definetly leaves you with motivation to become more advanced. The guitar is also able to handle advanced playing beautifully.
