As its name promises, the Fender Modern Player Telecaster Plus delivers the classic twangy tones of the Fender Tele with a few key updates for the modern-day musician. The most notable addition to this legendary design is this Tele's unique three-pickup configuration. Now, in addition to the expected Tele pickup in the neck position, you've got a Stratocaster single-coil pickup in the middle seat. Below that, you'll find a humbucker in the bridge slot with its own mini-toggle coil-split switch. With the three most common electric guitar pickups in a single instrument, it's an understatement to say that this guitar offers incredible tonal versatility! This Modern Player Telecaster is further distinguished with an all-pine body that looks gorgeous under any finish.

Classic Tele Neck, Fretboard and Hardware

While offering a few dramatic updates, the Fender Modern Player Telecaster retains a few tried-and-true characteristics of its famous forebears. The 22-fret maple neck measures 25.5 inches, and comes in a classic C-shape with a 9.5-inch fretboard radius. The synthetic bone nut measures in at a familiar 1.65 inches. The hardware is pure vintage styling all the way, with a 6-saddle strings-thru-body hardtail bridge. The super-grippable knurled chrome control knobs feature the classic dome-shaped tops. The glistening chrome hardware serves as the perfect accent to the two-tone black/white pick guard.

Three Pickups, Infinite Tones

Just from looking at the pickups, you can… read more tell the Fender Modern Player Telecaster is an instrument for serious tone freaks. The HSS configuration includes both Tele- and Strat-style single-coils, along with a humbucking double-coil. The real advantage here lies in how the 5-position switch selector allows you to combine your pickups in Bridge-Middle or Middle-Neck pickup combinations, or use any pickup independently. The humbucker also comes with its own mini-toggle, which opens up a tighter, more focused sound from the bridge position.
