Electronics & Features

The Modern Series was Fender Japan's answer to players seeking a more contemporary instrument without sacrificing classic Fender aesthetics.

The dual Modern-Modified humbuckers provide thicker, more powerful tones than a traditional Telecaster while still retaining excellent clarity and articulation. From clean jazz and blues tones to heavier rock and modern gain sounds, this guitar handles it all with ease.

Additional premium features include a compound-radius fingerboard for effortless bends, locking tuners for excellent tuning stability, and a sleek bound alder body that gives the instrument a more upscale appearance.

Tone & Feel

This Telecaster feels fast, comfortable, and incredibly versatile.

The compound "C" to "D" neck profile gradually fills out as you move up the neck, making it equally comfortable for rhythm playing and lead work. The compound-radius fingerboard allows for low action and effortless bends without fretting out.

Tonally, the Modern-Modified humbuckers deliver plenty of punch and sustain while maintaining enough definition to cut through a mix. Whether you're playing classic rock, blues, fusion, hard rock, or modern styles, this guitar covers a tremendous amount of ground.

At only 7 lbs 2 oz, it is also remarkably lightweight and comfortable for long playing sessions.
