Fender Player II Modified Telecaster SH MN, Sunshine Yellow

Full Description

Modern versatility with SH pickup configuration

The Fender Player II Modified Telecaster is built for modern guitarists who need tonal flexibility without sacrificing classic Tele character. With a Player II Modified humbucker in the neck and a noiseless Tele pickup in the bridge, this guitar offers a powerful yet dynamic sound that can handle anything from warm, rich chords to cutting leads. The humbucker brings extra output and depth, perfect for overdriven tones and full-bodied cleans, while the noiseless bridge pickup delivers signature Tele twang without unwanted hum. If you like switching between styles or layering tones in the studio, this SH configuration gives you a versatile foundation for any musical setting.

Push/pull coil-splitting for extra tonal options

Beyond its versatile pickup combination, the Player II Modified Telecaster offers even greater flexibility with a push/pull switch on the tone knob. This feature allows you to split the neck humbucker, instantly transforming it into a traditional single-coil for crisp, articulate tones. If you need the full-bodied power of a humbucker or the clear, bell-like tones of a single-coil, you can switch between them effortlessly with a simple pull of the knob. This added versatility makes the guitar perfect for players who want access to a broad range of tones without swapping guitars mid-set.

Enhanced playability with a modern “C” neck

Comfort and speed are at the core of the Player II Modified Telecaster’s design, thanks to its Modern “C” neck profile and smooth satin finish. The back of the neck feels incredibly sleek, allowing for fast position changes and fluid playing. The 9.5” radius fingerboard with rolled edges further enhances the experience, offering a broken-in feel that makes playing effortless. Medium jumbo frets provide ample space for bends and intricate phrasing while maintaining solid intonation across the board. If you prefer strumming chords, playing intricate leads, or bending notes with expressive vibrato, this neck is designed to keep up with your every move.

Premium hardware for rock-solid tuning stability

Keeping everything stable and in tune, the Player II Modified Telecaster is equipped with premium hardware designed for reliability and precision. Short post locking tuners ensure a consistent break angle over the nut, improving sustain and making string changes quick and effortless. The TUSQ nut adds to the guitar’s stability, preventing tuning issues even during aggressive bends or extended performances. The 6-saddle Tele bridge with block brass saddles enhances intonation and sustain, while the cutaway bridge plate allows for unrestricted picking technique. Every component is designed with performance in mind, so you can focus on playing without worrying about going out of tune or instability.
