The Hybrid II Philosophy: Fender Tradition, Modern Comfort
Designed in Japan, the Hybrid II Telecaster modernizes the original formula while respecting its identity. It features the iconic silhouette, a vintage 3-saddle brass bridge, and exemplary finishes, combined with a modern-profile neck, 22 frets, and electronics designed to expand tonal colors both on stage and in the studio.
For Which Player and Styles?
Ideal for intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a flexible and reliable Tele. It excels in pop, funk, country, indie, rock, and blues. The 4-position wiring adds a denser series voice for powerful rhythms and thicker leads, while the bridge position retains the characteristic sharp "twang."
Sound
The alder body delivers a balanced register, precise in the mids. The flamed maple top adds attack and definition. The Hybrid II single-coils offer clarity and dynamics, with the bright and snappy Tele grain. The vintage 3-saddle brass bridge and string-through-body design enhance sustain and harmonics, while the series position on the selector thickens the tone for more "humbucker-like" sounds.
