• Fender Player Series Pickups
Designed for 100% authentic Fender tone with a bit of an edge. Fender’s Player Series pickups keep a foot in the past while looking to the future. A stroke of pure genius by Leo Fender, the steel plate on which the rear pickup is mounted increases the inductance of the pickup.
Originally adapted from a pickup Fender was already making for lap-steel guitars, the Telecaster bridge pickup is taller and longer than its Strat counterpart, providing more area to wind additional wire to the more squat bobbin, resulting in a higher output.
Just as important is the metal plate that is attached to the bottom of a Tele bridge pickup.
If the magnets are sitting atop a steel plate, the inductance of the coils will also increase, causing the pickup to be more powerful, boosting the bass and low midrange, essentially warming the tone of the pickup.
The Tele bridge pickup attached to the body-mounted bridge plate combined with with saddles made out of similar materials all contribute to the signature Telecaster snap and twang.
• Block Steel Saddles
This beauty features the classic strings-thru-body Telecaster bridge with six block-steel saddles for enhanced sustain plus enabling super accurate string height and intonation adjustment.
• “Modern C” Neck Profile
Modern players asked for an easy playing, comfortable neck and Fender answered. Built for comfort and performance, the “Modern C”-shaped profile and the smooth back finish ideal for almost any playing style.
• 22-Frets
The original Telecaster only had 21 frets – adding another fret lets you bend the highest D up to an E, giving you access to four octaves of musical possibilities and expression.
• Traditional Body Carve
The Player Telecaster body is hand-shaped to the original single-cut specification that helped to make this one of the world’s most loved guitars.
• “F”-Stamped Neck Plate
Your Fender Player Telecaster includes an “F”-stamped neck plate, leaving no doubt as to the instrument’s fine pedigree.
