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? Plus HSS is that rare bird among Telecasters-a triple-pickup model-further distinguished by a pine body and mini-toggle coil-split switch for the Modern Player humbucking bridge pickup. Other features include C-shaped maple neck, maple fretboard with 9.5”radius and 22 jumbo frets, Modern Player single-coil Telecaster neck pickup and Modern Player Stratocaster? middle pickup, five-way pickup switching, three-ply pickguard, knurled “chrome-dome”control knobs, vintage-style Stratocaster string-through-body six-saddle hard-tail bridge, vintage-style tuners and nickel/chrome hardware.
