Last year, Fender reworked a number of their most iconic guitar and bass models in the form of the Player II Series. Now, the renowned musical instruments manufacturer has shared a knockout addition to the chain featuring common modifications and upgrades, the Player II Modified.
Words can’t properly convey the charm of these new guitars (though we’ve surely tried), as it is best to try one out yourself. Fortunately, we’re giving you a chance to do just that by giving away a Fender Player II Modified Telecaster® in Dusk to one lucky winner. Enter for you chance to win via the widget below or by heading here.
These fresh set of technical modifications are inspired by popular hardware mods championed by guitarists the world over, like locking tuners, noiseless pickups, upgraded wiring, and more. The mod-culture spirit means not only does the Fender Player II Modified Telecaster® provide a souped-up tone straight out of the box, it also serves as a perfect way to dip your toes into wider gear culture.
“Player II established a sort of beautiful platform, baseline series, and then what’s the next thing to do? Let’s show what’s possible with instruments off that baseline,” Executive Vice President at Fender Products and Manufacturing Justin Norvell tells Consequence. “You can do all kinds of stuff with the wiring, you could upgrade the pickups, you could put locking tuners on it, you could put an active or passive preamp in the basses — it’s a springboard.”
