Fender FSR Player Telecaster, USA Pickups, Aged Natural Overview
Looking for a Telecaster that’s Tougher Than The Rest? This special-edition Fender FSR Player electric guitar should be at the top of your list. This particular Tele boasts an upgraded spec and is a GAK exclusive - you won’t find this one anywhere else in the UK. Because this version is only being made in limited quantities, it’s Born To Run out of stock fast - so make sure to grab one before they’re all gone!
Classic Tele Tone
This FSR Player Telecaster features a classic Fender tonewood combination - an Alder body and a Maple neck - which gives it that timeless Tele sound. There’s no doubting the versatility and sonic pedigree of this guitar.
The Alder body gives this guitar a full, defined & balanced core tone whilst the Maple neck boosts note definition and sustain.
The neck has been meticulously designed to provide an effortless, high-performance playing experience. That’s why Fender have opted for a comfortable Modern “C” neck profile, which is suited to a wide variety of playing styles, and a super smooth satin back finish. The Maple fingerboard sports 22 medium jumbo frets, which make soaring bends and complex chording a breeze.
Upgraded Pickups
Fender have equipped this version of their FSR Player Telecaster with a pair of Pure Vintage '52 pickups, which significantly upgrade the standard model. These top-quality single-coils are constructed from Alnico 3 magnets and have been precisely wound to deliver an authentically old-school Tele voice - with the crispness, clarity and twang that you’d expect.
These pickups are primed to give you that quintessential Fender sound from the period-correct cloth wiring to the vintage bobbin construction.
Beautiful Finish
Part of what makes this Fender Player Telecaster stand out from the crowd is its looks, with a body that’s been hand-shaped to original Fender specifications, single-ply pickguard and beautiful Aged Natural finish (which is exclusive to the limited-edition FSR series).
Quality Hardware
With this FSR Player Telecaster, you’ve got the best of both worlds - iconic Fender playability & tone with the workhorse reliability of a modern instrument. A large part of it is due to Fender’s excellent build quality and their use of high-quality components.
The string-through bridge with its block steel saddles is a highlight, as it delivers precise intonation and bolsters the tone by sweetening the top end.
Nowadays, you don’t have to be Born In The USA to grab a great Fender guitar at a price that won’t break the bank and the Player series shows that. With its alluring looks and enhanced spec, this FSR Telecaster certainly makes its mark amongst the bunch. If you’re ready to take to the Thunder Road and stop Dancing In The Dark, this Tele is raring to go.
