Fender Player II Modified Telecaster MN, Olympic Pearl

Full Description

Effortless playability

The Fender Player II Modified Telecaster MN is built for smooth, effortless performance. The satin-finished Modern “C” maple neck ensures a fast and comfortable feel, making long sessions and intricate solos easier than ever. A 9.5” radius fingerboard with rolled edges provides a broken-in feel straight out of the box, while the 22 medium jumbo frets allow for easy bends and expressive lead work. From tight rhythm work to soaring leads, this Tele’s neck is designed to accommodate every playing style with ease.

Versatile noiseless pickups

The Player II Noiseless Telecaster pickups deliver all the classic twang and bite you expect from a Tele, without any unwanted hum. These pickups retain the character and clarity of traditional single-coils while eliminating interference, making them ideal for clean, dynamic tones and high-gain applications alike. The bridge pickup provides that signature snap and attack, while the neck pickup adds warmth and depth. From country licks to rock riffs, these pickups offer all the tone without the noise.

Enhanced tonal flexibility

A push/pull tone control takes the Player II Modified Telecaster’s versatility even further by switching the pickup wiring from parallel to series, adding extra thickness and power to your sound. This feature lets you shift from bright and cutting tones to fatter, more powerful leads with just the pull of a knob. Combined with the treble bleed circuit that preserves high-end clarity when rolling back the volume, this Tele is ready for any musical setting while maintaining its signature sparkle.

Rock-solid tuning and sustain

With a combination of high-performance hardware, the Player II Modified Telecaster MN stays in tune through even the most intense playing sessions. Locking tuners with short posts improve break angle for enhanced sustain and tuning stability, making string changes quicker and hassle-free. The Graph Tech TUSQ nut ensures smooth string movement, preventing tuning slips while delivering improved harmonic content. A modern 6-saddle Tele bridge with block brass saddles further enhances intonation and resonance, ensuring that every note rings out with clarity and precision.
