Fender Player Telecaster HH Pau Ferro Fingerboard Electric Guitar Silver

Don't get me wrong, this is a good guitar but I bought it hoping that it would sound more similar to a les Paul. I wanted a versatile guitar that could play a lot of different music and I guess that's what this guitar does. I just wish it would handle high gain tones better. It sounds great clean and it has a feature that allows you to split the coils, but on a higher gain tone it's not as clear or punchy as I wanted it to be. The tone is clear, deep, and warm. The build quality on this guitar is very good and the burst color looks amazing in my opinion. I'm conclusion the guitar is solid, just don't buy it to play metal.

I've been looking for a lightweight telecaster, so I ordered this online since I hadn't seen any at the Guitar Center stores in my area. On the plus side, it is lighter than most telecasters, the belly cut is nice for practicing sitting down, and I thought the humbucker pickups sounded good. As other people have mentioned in reviews about the Fender Player Tele and Strat series guitars, the quality isn't consistent. The nut was causing a bad open string buzz, and overall there was more string buzz than any other guitar I've owned (even after I had a setup done at Guitar Center). Maybe you'll have better luck, but it just wasn't fun to play, so I exchanged it for something else.

The pick ups very twangy. Need to try with pedals to see if I can get the sound I want

I am a bassist, and this is my first guitar purchased. Beautiful instrument, both inside and out. The amount of tones you can get out of this thing is almost infinite. Highly highly recommend

I'm guessing they don't predrill holes on the body for the screws, because the silver plate for the controls has a long crack extending from the screw which holds it on. It split the body and wraps around the bottom. On the bottom, there is a long and narrow divot, which still is fully finished. I doubt that much force could've been applied after the fact and still keep the finish. The black plastic piece around the bridge pickup bows outward as if the screws holding it down were put too close together. I'm guessing that will break over time. Some of the screws are put in crooked. There are additional scratches on the body and the guitar is very dirty. There was something pasted on a couple areas that scraped off and the neck had some sort of soot that covers my hands. It will require some sort of cleaner to remove. I understand this is not their top of the line, but it's also not a cheap squire either and there are additional quality issues that I don't mention because they are what I would accept from a guitar in this range. With a better specimen, I would probably give it a 5 star review. I can't say anything about tone as of now, because I haven't tried it yet. I'm still cleaning it and the strings it came with were worn through. I tried emailing GC but they never responded. I tried calling them for 3 days and using online chat, but I wait on hold for 30 mins and give up. I can't go to my local store because of quarantine, so I guess I'm stuck with this thing. Be careful what you order. You are committed to it.

I am a full time musician. Needed a new axe for my studio setup as my old one needed a re-fret and just wasn't worth it. A great guitar but with caveats it was poorly setup and frets where very rough. The choice of finishes in this model was really poor I refinished axe while I had it apart for set. I would give it 5 stars if not for this. I understand it QC can be a bit spotty on MIM fenders all said it was well made just lacking in the fine spit and polish that make a good guitar great. Nothing that should stop anyone from buying one. Also was hesitant to buy the model with humbuckers but they are great coil tap is fine the single coil sound is passable though maybe not for single coil snobs though most snobs. This model had the belly cut very important to me as I use the guitar 4-5 hours a day in a sitting position at my writing station so comfort is must. Lastly anyone using a hex pickup this Tele model is the easiest to setup which was the deal clincher for me.
