It’s here for people that want an all-new experience on a classic, simple, workhorse guitar. Perhaps controversially so, the Player Series has 22 frets rather than the traditional 21 - but the Player Telecaster isn’t built to stick to the rules. Its smooth satin finish helps you avoid the sticky situations that a gloss lacquer might cause, and with the option of either maple of pau ferro fingerboards, you can be sure you’ll find a style to suit you.

The ‘Modern C’ neck profile is designed for performance as well as comfort. The Player series single-coils reaffirm that instantly recognisable tone, but are wound just that little bit hotter - keeping one foot firmly in the present day. The gloss-finished alder body and bolt-on maple neck is a classic combination, and provides bags of that iconic Tele ‘twang’. Simplicity and quality lie at the heart of this range of guitars, and the Player Telecaster doesn’t disappoint. Our top picks for the best Telecaster guitar starts with the Fender American Professional II Telecaster, a seriously beautiful and versatile guitar that pays homage to the originals while bringing them right up to date.įender’s Player Series sums up everything that makes Fender guitars so popular.
