This Player II Tele is a seriously solid upgrade over the standard Player series. The Alnico 5 pickups give you that classic Tele bite with a bit more punch, and the Modern C neck makes it a joy to play. It's a fantastic option for gigging musicians looking for a workhorse Tele at a reasonable price point.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Modern C profile is significantly thinner and more comfortable than many vintage Tele necks, offering faster playability, but lacks the same vintage feel.
They're a modern interpretation – hotter than truly vintage Tele pickups, but still retain that characteristic Tele clarity and twang. Expect more output and a slightly more aggressive tone.
Rosewood is susceptible to movement with humidity fluctuations; regular conditioning with fretboard oil is recommended to prevent cracking or warping.
