Fender 2024 Made in Japan Hybrid II Telecaster Maple Neck Modena Red

Full Description

Classic Telecaster style with modern flair

The Fender 2024 Made in Japan Hybrid II Tele is a perfect example of classic Fender design meeting modern enhancements. Its iconic Telecaster body shape is crafted from resonant alder, delivering a balanced tone with punchy mids and sparkling highs. Finished in a striking Modena Red gloss polyester, it stands out with a vibrant, bold aesthetic. The addition of a 3-ply eggshell pickguard and black dot inlays reinforces its vintage character, while nickel/chrome hardware provides a sleek, professional finish. Every detail has been carefully considered to maintain the timeless appeal of a Tele, but with subtle refinements that ensure you can meet modern musical demands.

Versatile tone with custom Hybrid II pickups

At the heart of the Hybrid II Tele’s versatile sound are its specially designed Hybrid II Custom Voiced pickups. The bridge features a crisp single-coil pickup that delivers all the classic Tele snap and twang, while the neck hosts a rich-sounding humbucker for thicker, warmer tones. With a push/pull coil-split function on the master tone control, you can unlock bright, articulate single-coil sounds from the humbucker too, massively expanding your sonic palette. You can move effortlessly from clear cleans to gritty blues textures and powerful lead tones, all with genuine Fender character.

Premium playability with a modern C neck

Designed for maximum comfort and speed, the Hybrid II Telecaster features a modern "C" shaped maple neck with a satin urethane back and a gloss urethane front. The satin finish ensures a smooth, non-sticky feel that allows your hand to glide effortlessly across the neck during fast passages. A 9.5" fingerboard radius paired with narrow-tall frets makes string bending easy and accurate, while the familiar 25.5" scale length keeps the snappy response and tension Telecasters are famous for. From the first chord to the final solo, the Hybrid II offers a playing experience that feels incredibly comfortable.

Reliable performance with vintage locking tuners

Fender has equipped the Hybrid II Tele with vintage-style locking tuners, offering the best of both worlds — traditional aesthetics and enhanced tuning stability. Locking tuners make restringing faster and more secure, significantly reducing string slippage and keeping you in tune longer during heavy bends or dynamic performances. Combined with the three-saddle vintage-style bridge with slanted brass barrel saddles, this hardware setup ensures solid intonation and consistent tone. Ideal for recording, performing live, or simply practicing, this Tele is built to deliver reliable performance every time you pick it up.
