Striking Noir Design
With its satin black alder body, this Telecaster has a commanding presence under stage lights. The 3-ply black pickguard with a vivid red centre layer adds a subtle but eye-catching detail, while the red Fender headstock logo completes the bold look. Black hardware, black plastics, and a black synthetic bone nut unify the design, making this a Telecaster that feels unapologetically modern while staying true to its classic roots.
Pickups & Electronics
At the heart of the Hybrid II Noir are its Custom Voiced Single Coil pickups, carefully tuned to retain the authentic Tele twang while offering a smoother, more versatile edge. The guitar’s 4-way switch expands tonal options, allowing you to combine the pickups in series for a fatter, punchier tone ideal for heavier styles and lead playing. Whether you’re running clean, gritty, or driven, this Telecaster delivers consistent, expressive tones across genres.
Playability & Feel
The modern “C” maple neck with satin finish provides a comfortable, broken-in feel right out of the case. A rosewood fingerboard with a 9.5” radius and narrow-tall frets makes bends smooth and chords comfortable across the entire range. The design prioritises effortless playability, making it equally at home in fast runs, expressive bends, and rhythm-heavy strumming.
Premium Build Quality
Crafted in Japan to Fender’s Hybrid II standards, this limited edition model combines high-quality tonewoods, refined electronics, and durable black hardware. The build ensures long-lasting reliability, whether you’re touring, recording, or adding to a collection of unique Fender instruments.
