Fender 75th Anniversary Player II Telecaster Rosewood Fingerboard Sea Foam Green

Fender is celebrating 75 years of the Telecaster with a handful of limited-run colours, and this Seafoam Green Player II might be the pick of them — surf-club cool over alder, a warm rosewood board, and an anniversary neck plate to prove it was there for the party.

The Limited Edition 75th Anniversary Telecaster Collection

Fender's Limited Edition 75th Anniversary Telecaster Collection marks 75 years since the Tele put the solid-body electric guitar on the map — and rather than a glass-case museum piece, this is a working player's tribute. The giveaway is on the heel: a commemorative 75th Anniversary neck plate, fitted to a short run of exclusive finishes you won't find in the regular Player II range. When this run sells through, that's it.

Seafoam Green over contoured alder

Seafoam Green is pure surf-era Fender — a soft pastel that photographs like 1962 and pairs beautifully with the 3-ply parchment pickguard. The gloss polyester finish wraps a contoured alder body whose rounded-over edges make long sets noticeably more comfortable than the old slab-bodied Teles ever were.

Modern "C" neck with rolled edges

Fender's Modern "C" profile fills the palm without ever feeling bulky, and the satin urethane finish on the back of the maple neck keeps position shifts quick on sweaty stages. A rosewood fingerboard adds a touch of warmth up top, running a 9.5" (241 mm) radius with rolled edges, 22 medium jumbo frets and white dot inlays, while the synthetic bone nut measures 1.650" (42 mm) across the familiar 25.5" (648 mm) scale.

Player Series Alnico 5 Tele twang

Two Player Series Alnico 5 Tele Single-Coil pickups deliver the real thing: biting twang and snap at the bridge, glassy warmth at the neck, and that hollowed-out quack when the 3-position blade switch runs both together. Master volume and master tone with knurled flat-top knobs keep the layout exactly as a Tele should be — simple, direct and fast to work mid-song.

String-through sustain, ClassicGear stability

The 6-saddle string-through-body Tele bridge with block steel saddles gives every string its own intonation and height adjustment, with the extra resonance that through-body stringing brings. Fender ClassicGear tuners keep pitch honest set after set, nickel/chrome hardware ties the look together, and it ships strung with Fender USA 250L Nickel Plated Steel strings (.009–.042).

Set up in-store before it ships

Built at Fender's Ensenada factory in Mexico and set up in-store by Guitar World Australia's techs before it ships to you, so it arrives playing the way a Fender should — plug in and it's pure Telecaster from the first note.
