Picked up one in all white. I have played the Vintera 50s Telecaster, American Professional and Performer series too and I have to say this baby can hang with the best at only $700. Definitely a keeper!

Some of the best "both pups on" setting I've ever heard. There goes my next month's salary......

Thats what happened with me, but i bought a player strat in white

[@ashtonstein2240]

Estelon Agarwaen Same dude, I went into the store with zero interest in a Tele and walked out with a white player series. Love that guitar

[@samuelshonhart]

Just played one in a GC yesterday. Played only the bridge for like 15 minutes because I feel in love with it it. Then played the neck and I melted then I played in the middle position then I melted again and thought to myself that’s the best I’ve ever heard. Hoping I can bring it home soon.

I ordered one from my local music shop Roxy Music in Laporte Indiana check them out online tidepool blue can't wait

[@samtheman123]

Uh... you make $700 a month?

[@BladeDoomer86]

I've had a Les Paul for 12yrs, but wasn't playing much anymore. Getting my first Tele last year really gave me a boost, and i got back into guitar... I feel like I'm much more into single coils then humbuckers after all, and wasted a decade lol i also just bought a Strat!

[@kstaggs87]

I traded my Epiphone SG for a Strat about a year ago and realized how much I loved single coils. It wasn’t until I traded my PRS SE Standard 24 (a guitar I’ve always wanted) for a telecaster that I truly realized how much I prefer single coils over humbuckers. I got a 2019 Player Telecaster with a maple warmoth fat 50’s style neck and it plays like a damn dream.

[@frederickthompson8686]

I own a 2018 "pre-player" upgrade MIM model and for the price, it's hard to beat. Only issue is that the frets were poorly finished. Fender has had some QC issues in Mexico over the years, but perhaps the most recent Player models are an improvement. But with their price approaching $800 US, there are a lot of competitive options out there at that price point...

[@Mike_B.]

Please compare the Player Series to the Professional Series...

[@TheMichaelseymour]

i honestly feel this is the best tone i have heard from "in the blues" channel

[@IvanDenisLive]

After sampling 15 or 20 guitars. I landed on the player series. Now I may have just tripped on a good one, but it’s the one fer me. For the gear geeks...mine came with the bridge cover separately wired for an easy 4 way swap. Also there was plenty of room for a volume flip with minimal soldiering if that’s your thing.

[@markdakel9253]

Fender has done a nice job on upgrading the MIM series, the pick ups Sound much better, aesthetics of the player series complements the entire instrument. Great value and excellent Quality

The pickups in Player Series are really good. I bought a used one in butterscotch blonde finish, i'm really surprised by the pickups.

[@TheLadsBandLive]

Those block saddles truly are unsung heroes (should be standard with all strats and teles). Also, 22 frets and a sweet satin finish on the neck. That's some crazy bang for your buck right there.

[@Tone-Oz]

Hi, whats so good about the block saddles mate?

[@TheLadsBandLive]

@@Tone-Oz Besides not rusting or oxidizing, the theory (mine, at least) is the block saddles all have more mass and surface area for the strings to make contact with, which leads to improved sustain, vibration and transfer of energy.

[@collectiveconscious2324]

Swap the frets for stainless steel.

[@michaelbonanno7476]

About 2 months ago I bought a lefty Player Tele that looks exactly like the one in your video. It sounds pretty good except the high E and B string fret notches had to be filed just a tiny bit (angled downward toward the headstock) so that the strings wouldn't buzz. Also the guitar repair guy found that the Tone pot was found to be a right handed pot, not a lefty. That means that the tone (at its highest) would remain at that same degree of EQ until the knob was put down to around 30%. Then from 30% to 0% the Tone falls off in an incremental rate until there isn't any more treble. On every guitar I've ever owned the Tone knob gradually rolls the Treble off to the bass ... but not this one! Apparently, this often happens with pots that go into left handed guitars. The factory orders a ton of pots and every so often they'll put in the wrong handed pot. And by the way.. this repair guy has an excellent reputation - not some dude who thinks he can repair "stuff". This won't be an expensive fix. But it will take a bit of time for the lefty pot to be found, shipped to the repair guy, and then put in. People make mistakes! Can't wait to play it again as the pickups sounded great... and the feel of the neck is amazing.

[@juhatarkka9867]

My experience exactly with the tone pot. Easy to fix though with a soldering iron, by reversing the wiring of thd tone pot. I wonder why they use right handed pots in a left ganded guitar though.

[@traceydevlin7066]

Nice Shano! I have a 2018 Butterscotch model which is set permanently as my 'Keef tele' guitar...........open G tuning, 5 strings, I even took the low E bridge saddle off as well! I cant play like him.......but I do fluke sounding like him every now and then using those Sus4 chords.😁👍🤙🤘🎸

[@wadeclark8628]

Been watching you videos for a long time. Especially enjoy your review. Have to say, that guitar really suits you. I really liked the balance and dynamics of the sound. Been thinking about this player series and really like it. Much better than the previous standard series. These are much clearer sounding - both the strats and teles. Thanks for the review.

[@wadeclark8628]

@@profane_kvetch I see. That would explain the less distorted and more clear sound. Thanks

[@VMX12k]

Im considering this or a Squire Classic Vibe 60's - I believe they have the same neck profile. My preference is slim Jackson necks, so either way its going to be thicker than I'm used to. If you have tried both I would value your opinion. The extra fret on the Player would be handy of course, but I wonder if tonally there is a clear winner...and if one offers a slimmer neck than the other.

[@SergioFigaroa]

A used player series will cost about the same as a new CV. I’d go for the player series.

[@MRTHUDTV]

@@SergioFigaroa Thanks Sergio. Its one year later and I actually ended up buying a used CV 60's Tele custom at the time and still love it. It suits my current needs, which are to add tonally different parts to some of my recordings. Pity it doest say 'fender' on the headstock haha, but otherwise im happy with how it plays and sounds which is the main thing of course.

[@matthewrider5906]

These Player Series guitars really seem nice from the vantage point of a 41 yr old fella who quit playing in his mid-20s on a lefty MIM Standard Stratocaster! 100%! I know it sounds superficial, but removing the "Made in Mexico" writing just made these so much more attractive. Again, I know it's petty, but as a guy w/an MIM Strat, playing w/a guy who had an Epiphone Les Paul, which I didn't know Epiphone was made in China back then🙄, I just felt (wrongly) inferior. And then, I was playing through a '70s model Peavey LTD-400 amp, equipped w/the original 15-inch, 600-watt, Black Widow speaker, & he was playing through a newer Marshall half-stack. So it was always a 'this' vs 'that' kind of guitar setup we had... But it worked quite well sometimes! Josh would play rhythm mostly as I'd solo. He did have good rhythm instincts, man!

[@robjgolde3221]

I think the old MiM Standard Teles and Strats had ceramic pickups in them, but this series has AlNiCo pickups wound a little hotter than vintage pickups, hence the extra bite and more classic Tele sound. I love what Fender’s done with the Player series all around.

The Player series replaced the Mexican Standard. The American Pro replaced the American Standard, and has now been superseded by the American Pro 2. Each factory has higher level series too.

[@carpathus]

Why waste money on a Sire t style when you could have a genuine Fender Telecaster? No sense in beating around the bush messing with tele copies. Just get a Fender and call it a day. Specs aren't everything so don't let all the flash Sire specs distract you. And don't overlook Squier CV Telecasters, they are excellent for the money as well. Truth is the Fender logo does carry a lot of weight and Fender guitars tend to hold their value in the marketplace so you can't go wrong.

[@kakarot.247]

How does it sound with the tone rolled off? Any way to make it sound warm? I know that probably sounds like a stupid question, as it's a Tele, but I'm curious, haha. Cheers for the video, Shane!

[@Peepeestorm]

kakarot247 unfortunately like most left handed guitars that aren’t American made either the tone works as it’s intended but most often if not always the tone knob essentially works as a on/off tone why it’s a thing in left handed guitars? No idea

[@geralr]

I own one of these player series teles. I actually prefer to play with the tone slightly rolled off, I think it sounds better. So in my personal opinion rolling off the sounds sounds good. To get a warmer tone you have to work a bit but it’s possible. The way I’ve done it is by the strings I used. D’Addario rates it’s string in terms of how warm/bright they sound, I once tried one of the warmer sounding ones and it does get quite warm. So warm in fact, that I replaced the strings with brighter sounding ones because I prefer that sound. So there you go :) All that being said, if you want warm, just get a humbucker equipped guitar ;)

[@melvynobrien6193]

I always remove the tone controls from my Fender Teles and Strats; the pickups sound fuller and clearer with all that "tone" crap removed; all the tone controls do is roll off the high end, and if you don't like a lot of high end, don't buy a Tel, buy something with muddy humbuckers instead.

[@melvynobrien6193]

@@geralr A Tele is supposed to be spanky and twangy; rolling off the highs defeats the purpose of a Tele. If you're playing live, rolling off the high end means that the guitar doesn't come through fifty feet from the stage. You should always have the sound onstage as high end as possible, and that way the guitar cuts through in the mix, instead of sounding muddy. As EVH said, your tone control is your pickup selector.

[@geralr]

mel obrien I disagree, for some songs it will sound great with tone rolled back a bit, and for others, it will sound great with the tone fully open. Part of the fun of owning a telecaster is that it’s deceptively versatile in the amount of sounds you can get out of it. I don’t think there is a right or wrong way to play a tele, it’s just a matter of what the musician prefers for the particular piece he’s playing.

So is this the evolution of the older "Deluxe Players" Fenders? I have one, a 2008 (I think) MIM Strat w/US vintage noiseless pups. I actually like those pups, despite all the hate directed at most noiseless pups. I always bash my hand like you mentioned, with Teles, so I don't have a regular Tele atm (that's just one reason why not). Just a Dlxe style, which I don't like. Idk, I am in the market for a workhorse Tele, and it sounds great and seems solid. I use a Bassbreaker15 (very similar tone) and this seems like a great match. But the Classic Vibe series seems so well-loved. There must be a reason for that. Guess I gotta try as many as possible! Cool demo/review. Cheers Shane.

[@dsholt]

When you say "Deluxe players," do you mean the Modern Players? Those were not made in Mexico I don't think, and came in at a lower price. These are the equivalent to the old MIM Standards.
