Modern Player Tele Thinline Deluxe

Description

The Fender Modern Player Telecaster Thinline-throughout its history, Fender has always made a special point of welcoming new players to the family by offering entry-level instruments of remarkable style and substance (such as the Duo-Sonic, Mustang and Musicmaster models), with great sound, classic looks, solid performance and eminent affordability. The Modern Player series continues that great my-first-Fender tradition, with thoroughly modern features and several distinctively unconventional new takes on our most revered instruments-all with outstandingly attainable value.

The Modern Player Telecaster Thinline Deluxe casts an already distinctive classic Telecaster model in a whole new light with a full-throated pair of single-coil Modern Player MP-90 pickups. Other features include a mahogany body, C-shaped maple neck, maple fretboard with 9.5" radius and 22 medium jumbo frets, three-way toggle pickup switching, three-ply pickguard (parchment on Sunburst model; black-white-black on other models), four skirted amp knobs (two volume, two tone), vintage-style Stratocaster string-through-body six-saddle hard-tail bridge, vintage-style tuners and nickel/chrome hardware.

    I've had this guitar for almost a month now, and I am just so pleased with every aspect of it. It's just so darn beautiful for the price you pay. I've been through a lot of guitars now, and trying to find the perfect tone has always been a challenge, but now I feel like my problem has been solved, that or I'm on the right direction to obtaining the tone that I've always wanted. The P-90's provide a great mixture of the traditional telecaster twang, along with full, fat sounding tone. It's the best of both worlds in my opinion. I play styles from Mathrock, Jazz, and Indie and this Telecaster just gets the job done. If your thinking about getting a guitar that plays well, looks great, and is a bang for your buck this might just be the guitar for you.

    Just wanted to write a quick review to point out that the picture is quite deceiving. The "Transparent Black Maple Fretboard" model shows a much greater contrast between the body and the pick guard. The picture on SweetWater is much more accurate. See attached. It's a much darker body that almost appears high gloss black if you're not in direct light. And even in direct light, the body is still much darker than depicted.

  • Worth the price.

    I am thoroughly impressed with this guitar. I was hesitant about buying a "Crafted In China" guitar but I can say that I have an American Made Tele special edition and with the exception of the electronics the build quality is the same. I love the radius on the neck.

  • Great Guitar for the price!

    Great sounding and feeling guitar. Not terribly versatile, but doesn't need to be.

    Every revue was 5 stars. I gave it the same as I carefully looked at it out of the box. I was stunned by the wood that was used, how it was put together, and the finish. You are missing something if you don't get sunburst. Loved the solid Maple neck and the action. Out of box, perfect intonation and no buzz anywhere. Love that you can play it softly acoustically. I knew it would be mellower than a solid Tele. But I could not duplicate sounds like I heard on You-tube. No big deal. This is more my style.
