Fender Player II Modified Telecaster SH
TELE PLAYERS HAVE modified their Telecasters by installing a humbucking pickup in the neck position since the late Sixties, when rock, blues and country guitarists decided they needed beefier tones from their neck position settings but still wanted the Tele's distinctive twang from the bridge settings. Keith Richards popularized this setup during the early Seventies with his modified 1954 Tele nicknamed Micawber, and Fender even got in on the act when they introduced the Telecaster Custom in 1972.
