We’ve joined forces with our pals at Chicago Music Exchange to bring you four exclusive Fender Player II guitars with serious swagger. These exclusive models debut a colourway that could’ve been — but never was. Say hello to Lavender Haze: a smokey amethyst shade inspired by mid-century appliances, classic cars and the dreamy hues of Lake Michigan beaches and Chicago’s lilac gardens. Sling one over your shoulder and get ready to turn heads on any stage!

But these instruments aren’t all about the finish. Under the hood, you’ll find all-new Fender “Full Dip” pickups — named after the iconic way to order an Italian beef in the City of Big Shoulders. These pickups are the result of decades of listening to players, dissecting vintage gear and collaborating with Fender’s Custom Shop wizards. Here’s what makes them so special…

Fender “Full Dip” pickups

Starting with the Vintera II recipe, Fender added two tasty twists:

  • Alnico 2 magnets: The standard Alnico 5 magnets have been swapped for Alnico 2 to tame harsh frequencies, smooth out the EQ and allow your notes to bloom with a sweeter, bell-like top end.
  • +5% overwind: A little extra wire gives you more midrange punch and output — perfect for pushing dirt pedals without squashing your dynamics.

4-way series/parallel selector switch

For even more tonal flavour, this Tele features an expanded 4-way switch. The additional position runs both pickups in series, essentially creating one massive, high-output humbucker! Here’s a breakdown of all the pickup settings you can play with:

  • Position 1: Bridge pickup.
  • Position 2: Bridge & neck pickups (in parallel).
  • Position 3: Neck pickup.
  • Position 4: Neck & bridge pickups (in series).

Key Features

  • Lavender Haze colourway: Stand out from the crowd with a smokey amethyst finish that oozes retro cool.
  • Slab Rosewood fingerboard with rolled edges: Enjoy a smooth, broken-in feel straight out of the box.
  • Medium jumbo frets: These make big bends easier and keep your intonation in-check across the neck.
  • “Full Dip” pickups: Get sweet, bell-like highs and punchy mids that cut through any mix. Plus, enough output to drive your fave OD pedals without compressing dynamics.
  • 4-way switching: That extra position kicks both pickups into series mode, delivering a huge humbucker-style sound.

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Telecaster

The Telecaster is one of the most iconic electric guitars ever made, first introduced by Fender in the early 1950s. Known for its simple design, solid body, and distinctive twang, it became the go-to instrument for country, rock, blues, and punk players alike. Its two single-coil pickups deliver bright, cutting tones with great clarity, making it perfect for both rhythm and lead work. The Tele’s bolt-on neck, smooth playability, and rugged build have helped it remain a timeless classic — a true workhorse guitar that’s still inspiring musicians over 70 years after its debut.
