Fender 2024 Made in Japan Hybrid II RW Telecaster, 3 Tone Sunburst

Full Description

Classic Tele style with modern versatility

The Fender 2024 Made in Japan Hybrid II Tele is a modern reimagining of a timeless design, offering a unique blend of heritage and innovation. Its iconic 3-Colour Sunburst finish, alder body, and vintage-inspired hardware make it instantly recognisable, while the upgraded features ensure it stands apart in today’s crowded guitar market. This model keeps the spirit of the Telecaster alive, but brings in key enhancements that make it an ideal choice for those who want classic looks and tone with contemporary performance. From indie and funk to rock and blues, this Tele keeps pace with any musical direction.

Unique pickup configuration with coil-splitting

One of the standout features of the Hybrid II Tele is its SH pickup configuration. It pairs a Hybrid II Custom Voiced Humbucking pickup in the neck with a Hybrid II Custom Voiced Single Coil in the bridge, giving you access to a versatile tonal palette. The neck humbucker delivers warmth and smoothness ideal for jazzier voicings or thick leads, while the bridge single coil cuts through with clarity and twang. Add to that a push/pull coil-split function on the tone knob, and you’ve got even more tonal flexibility on tap—perfect for switching from full humbucker punch to single-coil sparkle on the fly.

Smooth playability with modern neck design

Playability is a key strength of this model, thanks to the modern "C" shaped maple neck with a satin urethane finish on the back. It feels fast and smooth, allowing for extended playing sessions without discomfort. The rosewood fingerboard features a 9.5" radius and narrow-tall frets, providing a familiar yet comfortable surface that supports everything from quick runs to expressive bends. These modern specifications are designed to appeal to a wide range of guitarists, making the Hybrid II Tele a solid choice for both stage and studio use.

Reliable hardware with vintage character

Fender have equipped this guitar with a thoughtful selection of hardware that balances functionality and style. Vintage-style locking tuners offer better tuning stability and make string changes a breeze—especially useful during gigs or rehearsals. The 3-saddle Telecaster bridge features slanted brass barrel saddles, giving you the authentic Tele tone and feel, while also subtly improving intonation. A mint green pickguard and black switch tip round out the aesthetic with tasteful nods to classic design. Every element, from the hardware to the finish, enhances both performance and visual appeal.
