The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Modern Fender Player series platform with updated hardware and wiring; modified pickup configuration optimized for contemporary tonal range; improved bridge and tuning stability; refined fretwork and finishing compared to standard Player line.
Standard Fender strap/cable compatibility. Minimal setup required upon arrival. Spare strings and basic maintenance supplies recommended. Players accustomed to vintage Tele geometry will adapt immediately; those from thicker-body instruments may need minor adjustment period.
A Telecaster built for modern demands without unnecessary compromise. The Player II Modified balances Fender's foundational design philosophy with practical upgrades that justify its position in the mid-tier market. Substantial instrument at its price point.

Player II Modified Telecaster®
Gear up and get ready to take your performance to the next level with Player II Modified. Featuring key upgrades for the modern guitarist and bassist, these versatile instruments are designed to handle anything you can throw at them.
The Player II Modified Telecaster® is a classic guitar with the modern player in mind. Everything about the neck is designed for fast and fluid playability, from the Modern “C”-profile with silky satin urethane finish on the back to the comfy 9.5”-radius slab rosewood or 1-piece maple fingerboard with smooth rolled edges and 22 medium jumbo frets. The alder body provides classic Fender punch and is available in a variety of exciting new finishes. The Player II noiseless™ pickups deliver classic Tele® twang and bite while eliminating unwanted noise and the push/pull switch on the tone control provides even more tonal flexibility by changing the pickup wiring from parallel to series for fatter tones. The 6-saddle bridge, short post locking tuners, TUSQ® nut and modern string tree all combine to keep tuning incredibly stable for even the most demanding bends or roaring rock leads.

MODERN "C" NECK PROFILE WITH 9.5“-RADIUS FINGERBOARD AND ROLLED EDGES
This neck is designed for supremely comfortable performance, with a silky-smooth satin back and our Modern “C”-profile. The 9.5”-radius fingerboard facilitates fluid leads and choke free bends, while the hand-rolled fingerboard edges provide a broken-in feel that’s incredibly inviting.
NEW PLAYER II NOISELESS™ TELE® PICKUPS
The Player II Modified noiseless™ pickups deliver twangy, biting Tele® tones while removing unwanted noise. These pickups are perfect for any performance, sound great with gain and are our most natural-sounding noiseless pickups yet.
UPGRADED ELECTRONICS
A push-pull switch on the tone control changes the pickup wiring from parallel to series for fatter tones. The treble bleed circuit retains natural high-end when rolling off the volume, preserving sparkly cleans and chime-y edge-of-breakup tones.
MODERN TELE® BRIDGE WITH 6 BLOCK BRASS SADDLES
The bridge plate is cut away on the sides to enable total freedom of movement, perfect for hybrid picking. The 6 block brass saddles provide improved intonation, sustain and tuning stability.
SHORT POST LOCKING TUNING MACHINES
Short post locking tuning machines provide a sharper break angle over the nut for increased sustain and enhanced tuning stability while making string changes fast and easy.
TUSQ® NUT AND MODERN STRING TREE
The Graph Tech® TUSQ® nut provides unparalleled tuning stability when emulating steel bends or playing roaring rock leads and produces more harmonics in the mid and upper range. The modern string tree provides a smooth travel surface for the strings, preventing hang ups and keeping tuning stable during the most demanding performances.
