That color is the best in this Player 2 range with the maple fingerboard. Has a Ywngie vibe to it.

[@lostinpa-dadenduro7555]

Agree, it looks great. I was hoping for a better blue. Guess I have to wait another year or so. 😢

[@9unslin9er]

Don't like the spoiled milk. The blue looks best to me.

[@scottsodyssey2485]

Im surprised how much I like this yellow, especially with the aged plastic.

[@Lateral032]

Plan on getting one in Polar white and Maple neck. Have a few upgrades in mind already to get it on par with my HSS player plus in a silver burst. 1. Get a SD hot rail in the bridge 2. Locking tuners (not a fan of classic gear tuners) 3. American standard string trees 4. Block saddles on the bridge. 4. Switch out the pick guard and knobs to preference colors 5. Possible LSR roller nut (depends on how the nut is cut, but may happen still). I had a few player 1 strats. All were good but I didn’t like the finish. When I got a player plus I didn’t realize the rolled edges were going to matter. The player 2 has the rolled edges which is a seller to me. I need nearly the same Strat but I want an alternate color. This is the way😊

[@benrios7902]

Don’t like the pickups in the performer , pro2, or ultra. I don’t know why fender USA just can’t make regular sounding strap pick ups like this.

[@lostinpa-dadenduro7555]

I noticed that as well. For me I like the “plain” kind of pickups in the Player series.

[@AuramiteEX]

I think the American Performer sounds the best. The Ultra plays the best.

[@jamieadamson1781]

Yes good ear

[@mewtmath2899]

I’m the opposite, absolutely loved this specific Strat except the pickups. Sounded very thin and boring just like the last player strat

[@retiredguyadventures6211]

Sorry but the pickups in the strat and tele are the same as the series 1 player guitars. The only ones that got new pickups are the offset guitars. I email and called Fender to verify this and they did.

[@MrPFMneto]

Thank you for the clarification! I come to the same conclusion

[@f3uibeghardt522]

Bring back the American Standard series. That should always be Fender's anchor point for USA-made guitars. No extraneous push-pull pots or extra countours, just the quintessential meat-and-potatoes Fender American guitar lineup.

[@deanlockamy2087]

My best guitar is my American Standard Strat it does what it’s supposed to do.

[@MrPFMneto]

What is the point? Just changing the factory? At this price you gonna have the same QC issues...

[@davidspectra5591]

Excellent buy on a budget . I use their predecessors to pay my bills . Mine are modified with Fender Vintage noise or GEN 4 pickups .

[@87camro]

When the player one came out the selling point was that this guitar now had alnico five pick ups Supposedly the pick ups they were using in American series in 2001 or so also the guitar had 22 Fred’s over the 21 on the old standard series and it had the American two-point bridge that they were also using in the early 2000s the player one was a very good guitar I guess I got lucky my frets arent Sharp in addition of the vintage Tuners are nice for aesthetics but the ones that came on the player one did a very good job it’s nice to keep the price the same.

[@MrMfalzone]

Did you do the player series strat HSS plus top?

[@janiemarch]

Thanks! Great review. Love your playing!

[@janiemarch]

Just bought the blue colored one. Love it!

[@guilhermeazevedo4076]

John, does it sound fatter and less glassier than the vintera II 50s?

[@tbone2451]

I second the question, player ll or se silver sky ???

[@patrickkeating5329]

Silver Sky

[@carpathus]

Those look great. Problem is I love the sound of the stock ceramic pickups in my 2012 MIM Standard Strat so I don't really feel like I need the upgrade.

[@parlia_]

player 2 or silver sky se? Your comments in every video are very helpful. Thank you always.

[@martinlahaie6012]

The ugliest headstock in show-business with PRS...but best guitar overall imho

[@edlicari3909]

Player 2 all the way!! The SE SS feels clunky and cheap to me, especially the necks!!!

[@MrPFMneto]

If you are looking for a classic strat sound on an affordable price, the Player 2 is the way to go. But if you want a different look and feel you gotta try the PRS SE Silver Sky. They are also amazing instruments for the price.

[@hjell]

What strings did you use to stabilize the tuning?

[@PlayandTradeGuitars]

Daddario 10 gauge xl110, thanks for watching!

[@tbone2451]

Still screwing in the trem arm get with it fender.

[@billyd7882]

I bought this exact guitar in Hialeah yellow. Funny thing about it is my fretboard doesn’t work at all. 😂

[@westcoast5958]

Why isn't It working? The set up was bad?

[@Alfonzo862]

I hate heavy guitars, 3.99 kg for a strat is a joke! My player 1 tobacco burst plus top strat weighs 3.35 kg and that could even be a tad lighter.

[@tadask.4931]

It says a lot about the grade of the wood they are using in the mass production.

[@scripteaze]

I would like this yellow one but with rosewood. I dont like the lacquered maple

[@tylergreen8421]

I got mine yesterday(same color), changed the game for me. Thought I liked my SG...😅

[@mattnelson8325]

You must not play other guitars. Buy one from the Fender Mod Shop. You can pick out everything you want.

[@davidspectra5591]

Fender s Classic Vibes Telecaster Squire s set new standards found only on $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ axes . Rolled necks , Treble bites , 9.5 " necks > I use mine to pay my bills . The Ultra Strat II s BEST Stratocasters I ve ever played .

[@lutaracreditarvencer]

buttercream color is better than this hialeah yellow :(

[@tadask.4931]

8.9 lbs for a strat..? Back to late 70s boat anchors.. :)

[@edlicari3909]

They vary just like with everything. I just got a Player 2 HSS Strat that weighs 7.5 lbs.

[@Albastros1976]

Thanks a lot for the video ! do you plan to test an HSS version ?

[@RaymondLandis]

Nice Demo!

[@yoba_face]

Is it indonesian cor Tek?

[@Nizodizo]

sounds like a Strat.

[@stebsonian]

A 4 kilo tank strat...no thanks!

[@guitarman11000]

Pot metal frets

[@Dragon_rls]

Phenomenal playing John. You, younger man, is what I would call, a contemporary guitar rock God. Keep rocking John, and thanks for the excellent camera action Zach. You also rock. Rock on gentlemen🎵🎶

[@alafenetre81]

4kg! Too heavy.

[@aa64912]

Nice guitar,

[@TJISLA]

Nut de plástico? No .

[@MrPFMneto]

Nut de osso é barato no Brasil. Qual a dificuldade? Na primeira regulagem, manda o luthier trocar. Já tá pegando 8k na guitarra. Uma regulagem de 200 não é o fim do mundo...
