Noiseless pickups? No thanks; I need the noise.

I need a Candy Green American Tele!!!

[@masterofcoin1883]

Use a real bone for the nut, the synthetic doesn't sound as good. I bought a classic vibe over the player series years ago.

Yes I loved the left handed models, they were stunning

Just wanted to say that there is something relaxing and fun about watching you guys try new guitars out Lol. Love it, keep up the good work.

I did this upgrade with my normal Player Tele. Put in Seymour Duncan Vintage Stacks (noiseless) and upgraded to locking tuners. It's a killer guitar!

You guys are on par with the timing of the release here in Australia. Thank you for the amazing review as always! Danish Pete and Captain, always a pleasure lads.

[@dowaliby1]

Guys, great video and playing as always, and congratulations Fender on these beautiful guitars that offer such wonderful features and value for the price. I always enjoy hearing both Lee and Pete play - such wonderful feel and touch and tone. But I've got to say, I watched/listened to the full-length video of Pete playing the Tequila Sunrise Strat and was deeply moved -- the best I've ever heard him play. I will be revisiting that video over and over again for inspiration! Thanks guys!

[@xheadlessx]

I could listen to Pete all day , such a talented bloke 👍

It's nice that Fender is listening to the players and still innovating. Now I won't have to do all of my usual mods myself.

Those are awesome, great colors too. Tone sounded a little harsh in the highs today though. Great playing as always, don't need one just watching for Pete's playing.

Like your reviews gentlemen. I bought the fender player strat hss plus top sienna sunburst caught my eye. I'm old player from the mid 60,s . Played mostly top 20 stuff. Learned during the British Invasion. I'm 70 yrs old but still love electric guitars. Now I want one of those good player telecasters. Thanks for the reviews. I'm here about 50 miles above Atlanta. I also have a nice 92 epiphone les Paul standard special edition metallic red with black keys and trim. Thanks again. Subscribed.

[@transamination]

This is exactly the spec I was looking for, in both Strat and Tele. Colours too.

[@753Jackson]

Very nice something for everyone. These look and sound great. Very nice upgrades.

Many guitar manufacturers are coming out with new models faster than I get a paycheck! Nice video and review as always gentlemen...

Great playing as always Pete 😉

[@HRJ1411]

I got a Nashville Tele a couple of years back, first thing I did - took it to a guitar tech to roll neck edges, add push pull switch to include neck pick up option to switching and a treble bleed - I should be working for Fender Prod Dev! Btw, not upgrading to player + as prefer to not have belly cut on a Tele (despite needing it)

[@AlisonGirelli]

The blue to white strat has the same colour of my swimming trunks 👏🏻😄 Anyway every year some news from you Fender 👍🏻

[@mundane_in_the_membrane]

those fades look so good

[@TristenApblanc]

The slime green tele looks Amazing

[@rtellomx]

I heard it's called "Nashville" Tele because they were -due to their versatility, intended for recording and most country/blues studios are in the Music City.

this shouldve released in the beginning of the summer, giving me mad surf rock vibes with the blue and orange sunset color ways

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

I have a 3-4 year old deluxe roadhouse strat. Locking tuners , noiseless pickups , switching on the knob , seems they just went back to what they were doing a few years ago on those.

Deluxe Roadhouse has been the best value Fender has offered in the past 20 years!!

@8.16 Pete is trying to think of a polite way to say these sound like nothing special 😅 Great video guys! Even if I'm not going to buy these guitars it's till fun to watch 🙏

[@sirlost94]

Nice. These might be the ones getting back in the strat game

[@drewson2a512]

The price of these guitars seems high. The price for a standard Player Tele or Strat is £599 or less, so a plus model should be £749. GuitarGuitar have been doing a special Player model for £799. The launch price for this Plus range is £900 so not far off the American made Performer range.

[@MrRafaztar]

And I find the guitar guitar specials way more interesting in features, I totally agree these are overpriced. But in the current market who knows. Maybe it’s just not for me

[@disturbed157]

They're just trying to cover as many price ranges as possible it seems

[@Thebarbariantruckershow]

I thought the same. I remember paying 600 for my modern player plus and now there 1200$. Even the regular Mexican strat prices went from 600$ to 800$ and even 1000$.. inflation is crazy.

[@DeadHandBlues]

It is realistically the same as a USA Performer which makes no sense. I have played a few of these already and there is nothing special about them, the 12" radius is just plain weird. The point of MIM was always to be affordable but with the new sig models and these Plus series they are the same price as USA Performer and Pro 2 models...... At least the Player series is still cheap for now

[@Thebarbariantruckershow]

@@DeadHandBlues 🤘🙂🤘 Agree. I was also the one that went and bought the 950$+tax Novena telecaster and its MIM. But I think those are going to fetch a pretty penny down the road. These modern players, not so much. I'll wait to find a 500-600$ used one down the road lol.

[@BARTFUNKBASS]

BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!

[@kowalguitarlife9119]

Rocking out inside the warehouse I see what a blast I would bet

8:15 obligatory "Anderton" lick. Check.... then again at 9:05... lol. Love it.

[@sheumack]

12" radius, medium jumbo frets, noiseless pickups, locking tuners ... All enhancements that non-traditionalists embrace. So who decided to get rid of the comfortable heel carve from the deluxe? What were they thinking?

[@TyphonKrazilec]

Love the pink glasses!

[@ggrows3601]

that warehouse sounding good

[@jameswoollard84]

they're getting into a situation where there's too many models at similar price points. What will be the difference in price between these and the entry level American stuff?

[@terryshrk]

I dont think anything built in the US will be considered "entry " level,..and im guessing that they might do something like Gibson and move most of the US made instruments up in price.

[@endocry]

@@terryshrk doubt it, Fender has never been as overpriced as Gibson.

[@bip321boom]

This has more bells and whistles and the entry level american stuff is simpler but feels a bit nicer.

[@ChunkTheShredder]

There will always be some people that pay for "American made". I have done it myself before, but in reality, living in the UK, all of them are imports!

[@brandonanderson2066]

@@endocry i don't think Gibsons are overpriced. Much more work goes into them than a tele. And a SG and a strat are the same price point.

[@terryenglish7132]

They may break more easily, my Baja's has and it hasn't been used that much, but yeah something about the knob on stilts bugs me. I've never found mini toggles to be in the way; plenty of room on both Strats and especially Teles.

[@planzed463]

Pete’s “well anyway 🖐🏼🤩🤚🏼 eeeeeeeeeee” moment 😂😂 (at around 16:30mins)

[@markgowans]

I've watched this video a couple of times and noticed something. Fender seem to be making all their guitars have the neck/bridge combination on all their guitars they've introduced recently. I was going to invest in an ultra series because of this but think I'll save my money and get one of these so nice one Fender. I'm particularly liking the Nashville Telecaster.

[@AaronAubreyPhoto]

a soldering iron, a $2 switch and a couple pieces of wire is all that's needed to add the neck/bridge functionality on any guitar :D

[@TheEddiez06]

Nice Background 👌🏻

[@KRAZEEIZATION]

Fender MIM for the price of Fender USA! Oh yeah, what a bargain! They sound very sterile clean, but too modern. 12” radius boards, and slightly wider than usual nuts.

[@joebryant8500]

Can you show me where you get a Fender USA Strat for the same price as a Player Plus. Because every vendor site I've been to has the base USAs at around £250-300 more that the Player Plus series. Or are you simply talking out of your ass?

@@KRAZEEIZATION ​ I see my reply has been blocked. Yours stayed up because your insult used a word that doesn't exist in the dictionary. Let's try again. No, you are not talking about used. You didn't even suggest that, let alone mention it. You just made that up to cover for your uninformed comment. No, you don't get to compare a price for a new guitar with the price for a used guitar. You compare new with new, and used with used. A used Plus will still be cheaper than a used USA. Go away or just keep digging that hole.

[@runningwithscissors0911]

The Player Series is one MIGHTY FINE guitar! My opinion: rolled edges and locking tuners should be standard on the "regular" Player Series and shouldn't have to be be an additional cost and upgrade to the Plus series.

Why? That’s the whole point of having different models at different price points!

Free-Way Switch manufactures several kinds of switches that will split, swap phase, etc.

[@derekjohnson5720]

If you weren't into the new colours, i would go for a normal player series, buy a pre wired american loaded pickguard so you can choose what pups you want and buy the locking tuners all for the same price of a player plus!!

[@DIEmicrosoft]

Freeway switch for teles. Standard 3 tele sounds plus 3 humbucker options.

[@taokichavez9319]

I guess Fender finally heard about the very successful Epiphone´s inspired by Gibson and modern collections and decided to offer something alike, and I have to say they went the extra mile and offer features shared between "American" and Mexican models, and princing it accordingly, good for Fender

[@ledhendrix5054]

Wow loving the Colour , always loved Fender , Whether it's a USA Built or Mexican etc etc , my first decent guitar was a Mexican Built Fender which I still own , Then I bought a US Built Fender that had the TexMex Pickups that I can't get enough of , Fender just stands out in the crowd , as soon as you start playing in the neck pickup position with a clean amp every Guitar player knows what guitar it is and what tone is being used. So yes these guitars I think personally are the best in the World.

[@geetarbube]

Unashamed Fender fanboy, here. Cheers!

[@nigelbarnes818]

The Captain played "the lick" and checked to see if Pete would react. (no reaction) I guess that joke is dead now. But it was fun for a while... for us anyway ; )

[@RocktCityTim]

Listening to Pete say HSS - I looped that :) .The aged Candy Apple Red looks more like a copper color. Would have worked better in a satin finish instead of gloss. That Green and the Silver Smoke finishes are my "i want one" colors. But the biting sound of the SSS Strat is "ouch!".

[@dowaliby1]

Finally, the "Zoomer Sunburst" finish. Thanks Fender!

[@sirhc2242]

Desperately want a 2 pickup Cosmic Jade Tele!

[@DesertScorpionKSA]

The Player Plus Tele push pull switch puts the bridge and neck pickups in series (more output rounder sound) while the Nashville Tele puts the neck in parallel (bright lower output) with the bridge and or the middle pickup in positions 1 and 2. I like the regular Player Plus Tele better. The pickups are a bit too close to each other, in the Nashville Tele, and I prefer the sound of the pickups in series with the switch enabled. You still get the pickups in parallel with the non-Nashville Tele when the push pull switch is not engaged.

[@someguyyouknow6420]

It'd be cool if those nashville teles came in with black-yellow-red bursts and no contour cuts. Maybe even as thinlines??? FENDER MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!
