Up for sale, a 2021 Fender Hybrid II Telecaster in excellent condition and in perfect working order. The Hybrid II model is one of the finest Tele iterations ever produced by Fender Japan (and a model not available in the USA market), forward thinking in its design with numerous player-friendly features. Premium spec includes Hybrid II Custom Voiced single coil pickups, parallel/series switching, USA-spec CTS pots, compensated brass saddles, a bone nut, narrow/tall fretwire, locking tuners, and a Modena Red finish. The neck is designed for today's guitarist as well, boasting a Modern C shape, 22 fret fretboard with a 9 1/2" radius, and a satin finish.
The Hybrid II Custom Voiced single coil pickups deliver ample chewy twang and sparkle in the bridge position, with a sweet, bell-like neck pickup and a very welcome 4th position on the blade switch, engaging both pickups in series for a particularly big and bold sound. This Hybrid II Telecaster weighs 7lbs 12oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The bright Modena Red finish has faint buckle wear central to the back, some dings along the lower bout perimeter, and light pick scuffing on top largely constrained to the guard. The satin finish on the neck profile is flawless save for one shallow nick central to the carve behind fret 5 that is not distracting to the palm while fretting.
A padded gigbag is included.
