Fender Player Telecaster Maple Fingerboard Electric Guitar 3-Color Sunburst

Definately one of the best of six guitars I've purchased. Sounds great just direct into amp. Plays easy and looks outstanding

I own 9 Fender Guitars, mostly American made Stratocasters, a DuoSonic, and three other Telecasters. including a Tele custom, a Tele Thinline, and George Harrison Model released back in 2016. I typically play my Strats, but wanted something standard. I tried the Player Telecaster at my Local GC store and could not believe how nice the neck was and how wonderful the alnico 5 pickups sounded. unfortunately i Did not by that same day and returned the following day only to find out that it had been sold. I purchased a new in box from GC online and received within 4 days. I found i needed to pop the neck as the 1rst E string was about falling off the neck, not sure how it could have passed QC inspection as well as the nut needed some rounding off and required to be cut to lower the action, same with saddles all set very high and the same length which sets intonation via string length. OK, All adjustments made. which took about three hours as I also inspected the real fender switch and full size volume and tone controls. all solder joints and components were fine. It is now one of my favorite guitars to play the 9.5 radius is my favorite neck as it fits my hands perfectly, satin back and super comfortable, outstanding sounding pickups. an incredible value.

I know it's a MIM but mine has a bridge pickup with very weak signal. Pickup works but there's cold solder joints and the switch was poorly wired. Bought it off the wall and it worked in the store. Started acting up when I got it home (go figure). Fixed it myself, but dumb problem!

I now have 2 telecasters made in Mexico guitars. Before I purchased them I played several new American made models and several of the player series models. I found the necks were better or at least as good on the player series models. In addition the hardware on the players were comparable too. I am a hobby player and in a worship band and just wanted a telecaster for its pickups and ease of playing. This Player series was the ticket for me! Good value and easy to play for me who has small hands. Only had to adjust the intonation a bit with the neck tension rod adjustment, and string height was good for me. I highly recommend this made in Mexico telecaster. I recommend playing several and pick out your favorite!!

Great quality. Good setup out of box.

I've loved Teles since I was 14, and have owned many different T-styles but when it came to finally getting a Fender, the Player personally stood out above everything, even the American models. The neck is very comfortable, it sounds authentically Tele, the "fit & finish" is perfect.
