The Player II series Telecaster combines timeless Fender tone and performance and pairs them with playability improvements from the Player II line. This Telecaster’s mahogany body and maple neck enrich its sound with a bump in sustain and midrange, plus the mellow side that mahogany shows off when played clean. Some prefer mahogany for the thick bass, soulful trebles, and slicing midrange that this tonewood brings to a multitude of musical styles. Country twang? You bet, but you can also delve into hard rock, pop, Midwest emo, blues, and a laundry list of other genres, whether old-school or current. Two single-coil Alnico V pickups support the Player II Tele’s classic resonance with punchy mix-cutting levels suitable for fiery country picking, shimmering rhythm chords, high-gain rock, and beyond. What’s more, the Player II Telecaster’s modern C-shaped maple neck is a smooth player for purists and newcomers alike. And the real star of Player II series updates? Wait until you experience the rolled-edge rosewood fingerboard with softer broken-in corners, which yields an instant boost in comfort right out of the box.
