Product Description

Modern Tele Snap With Player-Ready Feel

The Fender Player II Telecaster in Coral Red is that sweet spot where classic Tele bite meets smooth, modern playability. It looks slick under stage lights, feels broken in right out of the case, and delivers the kind of tone that makes you want to keep playing long after rehearsal should have ended.

With Player Series Alnico 5 pickups, a fast Modern C maple neck, and rock solid hardware, this is a working player’s Tele that does not need any upgrades to hit the stage or the studio on day one.

Alder Body, Coral Red Finish, Pure Tele Attitude

The alder body keeps things balanced and punchy, with tight lows, clear mids, and that glassy top end Tele fans live for. At 7.6 pounds it feels solid enough to sustain and resonate, but light enough that your shoulder is not screaming halfway through the second set.

The gloss polyester finish in Coral Red pops in person and looks fantastic under lights. It is tough enough to handle real gig life, yet still lets the body ring instead of feeling choked or plasticky.

Fast Modern C Neck With Rolled Maple Board

The maple neck is a Modern C profile, which hits that comfortable middle ground between vintage chunk and skinny shred stick. The satin urethane on the back keeps your hand gliding smoothly, while the gloss front gives you that classic Fender look.

The 9.5 inch radius maple fingerboard with rolled edges and 22 medium jumbo frets feels smooth and forgiving for bends, vibrato, and chord work. Black dots and side dots keep things familiar on dark stages, and the 4 bolt construction with Fender neck plate keeps the whole thing rock solid.

Player Series Alnico 5 Tele Pickups: Chime, Cut, And Grit

The Player Series Alnico 5 Tele single coils give you the classic Tele recipe, with a bit more muscle and clarity. The bridge pickup snaps and cuts with tight lows and singing upper mids, so your parts punch through the mix without getting harsh.

The neck pickup brings glassy chime and warmth for rhythm work, lead lines, and ambient textures. The 3 way blade lets you move from smooth neck tones to that bright bridge spank, with a middle position that is perfect for big open chords and rhythm parts that just sit right.

Hardware That Stays In Tune And Out Of The Way

The 6 saddle string through body Tele bridge with block steel saddles keeps intonation dialed and attack focused. You get classic Tele response, but with the precision of individual saddle adjustment so chords stay in tune all the way up the neck.

Fender ClassicGear tuners hold tuning steady through bends, capos, and riffs, while the nickel chrome hardware, 3 ply black guard, and clean control layout keep things looking sharp and workmanlike. Dual wing string trees and standard strap buttons keep everything functional without drama.

Dialed In By Moore Guitars And Ready To Work

This specific Player II Telecaster (serial MX24045036) is in our Evansville shop right now, inspected three times front to back. Before it ships, our techs give it a free pro setup, a 100 dollar value, so the action, intonation, and overall feel are ready for real gigs, not just bedroom practice.

You get free insured 2 to 3 day shipping, trade in options, 0 percent financing with Synchrony for qualifying buyers, and a 14 Day Return Policy so you can plug it in at home and make sure it really fits your playing. The photos you see are of this exact guitar, and if you want a different string gauge or setup, just tell us at checkout and we will dial it in.

The Lowdown

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

The Player II Telecaster is built for real gigs, not just bedroom jams. Alder body, solid 4-bolt neck joint, and a 6-saddle string-through bridge with block steel saddles keep things stable and in tune. Player Series Alnico 5 pickups cover everything from clean chime to pushed grit, and Fender ClassicGear tuners keep it locked in. Add our pro setup and triple inspection, and you have a Tele you can trust night after night.
The Modern C profile is designed to disappear in your hand. It is not a huge vintage baseball bat and not a thin shred neck, just a comfortable medium that suits a lot of players. The satin back keeps your hand from sticking, and the rolled maple fingerboard edges make it feel like a neck that has already seen years of play. Medium jumbo frets and a 9.5″ radius keep bends smooth and chords clean.
Absolutely. The Player Series Alnico 5 Tele pickups give you enough clarity and snap for country, worship, funk, and indie, but enough output to push an amp into bluesy grind or classic rock crunch. They take pedals really well and stay articulate under overdrive. If you live exclusively in extreme metal territory you might want humbuckers, but for most styles this Tele will cover a ton of ground.
Yes. The photos on this page are of the exact Fender Player II Telecaster Coral Red with serial MX24045036 that is hanging in our shop. We do not use stock images, so you know exactly what your grain, finish, and overall look will be before it lands at your door.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
This guitar is covered by our 14-Day Return Policy. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
If you order before 3 PM CST on a weekday, it ships the same day. We’ll get it into your hands fast with free, insured 2-3 day shipping.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
