If you want to get your hands on a real Fender Telecaster but find the American made models a little too pricey, this Mexican Fender Player Telecaster delivers that same legendary twang at a much more attainable price. Fender's Player Series follows on from the popular Standard Series, offering high-grade instruments for a more entry-level price. As such, the Player Telecaster even features an extra twenty-second, medium jumbo fret and, besides the extended note-range, will give you exactly the level of sonic variation and playing comfort you would expect from this classic workhorse. The Fender Player Telecaster MN: Saturday Night Special Alnico 4 Hot Tele Single-Coil Just like the American-made model, this Tele comes backed up by a string-through-body bridge and a set of six bent-steel saddles that inject extra brightness into the sound as well as enhanced sustain. Meanwhile, the standard Player Series Alnico 5 Tele single-coil at the neck is joined by a Seymour Duncan Saturday Night Special Alnico 4 Hot Tele single-coil at the bridge, upgrading the output with focus and balance, alongside that timeless warmth, growl, bite and twang. Customise the sound at will via the tone and volume pots and three-way switch. Unmistakably Fender The modern C-profile of the maple neck and the 9.5 inch fretboard radius give this model its familiar, Fender-grade playing comfort, while the set of sealed, self-lubricating machine heads and a synthetic-bone nut firm up the tuning stability. The solid alder body has been coated in high-gloss lacquer and the neck has been sealed in satin-gloss, resulting in a light and buttery-smooth feel beneath the fret-hand and polishing off a more-than-solid playing partner.
