Fender Classic Player 50's Stratocaster

Looks nice... Sounds nice... How does it play? I really wonder if there is any difference between the US and Mexican made Fenders these days.

Thanks. MiM Fenders can be really good (I have 4 of them and love these). This one is from 2013 and Custom Shop designed which makes it substantially better. The last few years I've played more than a few that have quality check issues. like the Vintera strat from my previous video (bad fretwork, badly cut nut). The Player Plus telecasters are awesome though. But a good one is definitely not any less than a USA made one in my opinion.

@@BartDietvorst Cool. Thanks for the reply. It's the Player plus tele I'm probably going to pull the trigger on - Apart from the heal joint, which is neither here nor there for me, the difference between that and the American Ultra doesn't justify the price difference in my book. With the rolled edges, they obviously have more attention payed to the neck, so one would hope, the frets too, which is the most important thing for me.

I have 2 player plus teles and I love them. I actually had the USA Ultra tele and hated it (returned it).

Your sound is so spicy. Can you share me the pedal board and amp settings.

Thanks! I use a Kemper profiling amp with on board fx. All Fender amp profiles, some with on board overdrive pedals, verb/delay.
