Iconic design and finish
The Fender Player Telecaster SS, with its Maple Fingerboard and Daytona Blue Metallic finish, embodies the quintessence of Fender's iconic design aesthetics. This model stands out not just for its bold color but also for its traditional yet timeless Telecaster shape, appealing to both vintage enthusiasts and modern players alike. The gloss polyester body finish ensures that it looks as good on a stand as it does in action, making it a visually stunning instrument for performers of all levels.
Exceptional sound quality
Equipped with Seymour Duncan® Saturday Night Special™ Alnico 4 Hot Tele® pickups, this guitar delivers a sound quality that's both rich and versatile. These pickups are renowned for their ability to provide warm, nuanced tones that can easily adapt from clean, melodic lines to aggressive, crunchy riffs. The bridge pickup, in conjunction with the Player Series Alnico 5 Tele single-coil neck pickup, offers a comprehensive range of sounds, making this guitar suitable for a wide array of musical genres.
Playability and comfort
The "Modern C" shaped maple neck and 9.5" radius maple fingerboard are designed with player comfort and playability in mind. This neck profile is slim enough for fast playability while still providing ample support for the hand, making it ideal for both chordal strumming and intricate lead work. The satin urethane finish on the back of the neck allows for smooth movement up and down the fretboard, ensuring that players can express themselves musically without constraint.
Durable and reliable hardware
On top of its impressive aesthetics and sound, the Fender Player Telecaster SS is built to withstand the rigors of touring and frequent playing. The guitar features a 6-saddle string-through-body Tele® bridge with block steel saddles, enhancing both its sustain and tuning stability. The nickel/chrome hardware not only adds to the guitar's sleek appearance but also ensures its longevity. Standard cast/sealed tuning machines provide additional tuning stability, making this guitar a reliable choice for musicians on the go.
