Fender FSR Player Tele MN, Butterscotch Blonde w/ CS Nocaster Pickups

Full Description

Epic '50s sound

No over-the-top electronics. No difficult-to-use controls. Just straightforward, '50s tone that'll make your music shine. The Player Tele comes loaded with a pair of Custom Shop '51 Nocaster pickups. These single-coils bring stunning brightness into your playing, communicating every note you hit with a sharp, crisp voice. It's the sound that started rock 'n' roll - and it's waiting for you...

Even with iconic vintage tone at your fingertips, you still need the flexibility to be able to shape your guitar's voice to suit you and your music. So Fender have included 3-way pickup switching. This will let you choose between the fuller, thicker sound from the neck pickup, the sharper tones that come from the bridge, or somewhere in between. Whether you're a lead or rhythm guitarist, the Players Tele will work for you.

Born to perform

Every inch of the Player Telecaster is crafted for performance. And it shows. A lightweight alder body lets players roam free on stage, along with a single-cutaway design for effortless access to the upper frets. Fender know better than anyone that a guitar should enhance creativity. And this limited edition model is certainly no exception.

The maple neck is shaped into a modern “C”, fitting perfectly into the palm of your hand. This way, you can play every riff, chord, and solo with total control and precision. Satin-finished on the back and glossed on the front – all surfaces of the fretboard and neck are distinctively sleek. What this means, is that your fingers will soar across the glossed fingerboard whilst movement of your hand will remain fluid across the back of the neck, ideal for fast playing. Put simply, the Player Telecaster won’t hold you back. Because, ultimately, Fender know what it takes to deliver a truly refined playing experience.

Perfect tone and sustain

Every note you play on this wonderful instrument will sound full and rich. That's because Fender have included a vintage strings-through-body bridge. Known for bringing excellent sustain, you'll be able to let your solos ring out for days. Plus, thanks to compensated brass barrel saddles, your intonation will be flawless and consistent.
