Fender Player II Modified Telecaster SH – Dusk – Includes Fender Gig Bag – Used Excellent
The Telecaster has been the defining workhorse of the electric guitar world since 1950, and the Player II Modified SH is Fender's most thoughtful modern iteration of that formula — a guitar built squarely for working players who need more tonal range than a standard single-coil Tele can provide without sacrificing any of the playability and reliability that made the Telecaster famous. The alder body delivers the balanced, punchy Fender voice that has driven records across every genre for seven decades, and the Modern C-shaped maple neck with satin urethane finish is immediately fast and comfortable in the hand — that silky satin feel makes a real difference over a full set. The 9.5-inch radius rosewood fingerboard with smooth rolled edges and 22 medium jumbo frets threads the needle perfectly between vintage feel and modern playability. The pickup configuration is where the SH earns its designation — a Player II humbucker in the neck position delivers articulate, full-voiced output with genuine warmth, while a Fender Noiseless single-coil at the bridge gives you all the classic Telecaster snap, twang, and bite without any 60-cycle noise. The push-pull tone switch splits the neck humbucker into single-coil mode, opening up clean, glassy neck tones that vintage-spec humbuckers simply cannot access. Six-saddle bridge for precise intonation, short-post locking tuners for rock-solid tuning stability, and a TUSQ nut round out a guitar that has been thought through at every level. Dusk is one of the more striking finishes in the Player II lineup — a deep, sophisticated purple that looks absolutely stunning under stage lighting.
This one is a genuinely gorgeous instrument — highly versatile, covering everything from vintage warmth to modern output with equal conviction. Hard to put down once you pick it up, and perfectly dressed up for night time gigs. You might need a new tux to keep up. Miniscule fret wear, superficial finish wear, satin neck that feels great in the hand, and presents beautifully throughout. Set up and ready to go.
