Fender Limited Edition Player II Telecaster Roasted Maple Charcoal Frost Metallic

Why the Fender Limited Edition Player II Telecaster in Charcoal Frost Metallic sounds different from a standard Telecaster

Some colors only appear once in the Fender archive, and Charcoal Frost Metallic is one of them. This Limited Edition Player II Telecaster combines the modern playability of the Player II series with a roasted maple neck and a pickup combination you won't find on the standard model. For the guitarist seeking that classic Tele tone, with a unique twist.

Tonally, the combination is special. The Custom Shop Twisted Tele single-coil at the bridge delivers the bright, cutting twang the Telecaster is known for, while the Seymour Duncan '59 SH-1N in the neck position adds a warm, vintage humbucker sound. The 3-way switch lets you transition smoothly between these worlds, while the master volume and master tone controls keep things simple.

The roasted maple neck with a Modern C profile and a 9.5-inch radius fretboard with 22 medium jumbo frets plays fast and smooth, with a synthetic bone nut for solid sustain. The alder body carries the 6-saddle string-through-body bridge with block steel saddles for a firm, defined attack, and the ClassicGear tuning machines keep the tuning stable. A 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard and chrome hardware complete the picture. 25.5-inch scale length.

Anyone looking for a Telecaster with today's comfort and a sound palette that is just a little bit different will find exactly that in this Limited Edition. Come and discover it.
