Well this was a more comprehensive introduction to the player plus series than the Sweetwater demo..👏

Thanks for letting us hear the exact guitars, too many demos out there seems to be full of hocus pocus with added loads of delays reverb chorus whatever….cheers

This is the best demo of that Nashville Tele I’ve heard on KZfaq so far!! Makes sense in my mind if you’re a Tele player - great stuff man

Awesome video guys !!! I would love to see a video like this, showing the differences of the player series vs the Sire Larry Carlton S7, they are in the same range of price and i'm very curious to hear the difference on a very clear video just like this.

Never owned one, but that Nashville Telecaster . . . I'm sorry, but WOW! If it looks, feels and sounds as good in person as all the reviewers are claiming, I have got to get me one of those! Every single pickup setting (seven!) was distinctive and usable, with that middle Strat PUP making a huge addition to the typical Tele tonal range. No wonder the Nashville cats added it in there. Hmm . . . that butterscotch blonde with a maple fretboard sure looks lovely . . . 😎

I just got the Stat that he is playing…The day before this Friday’s gigs. I played it all night long and it sounded great & the neck is killer.

BEAUTIFUL!!!!

To be fair when I evaluating a guitars tone with You 2 guys playing it’s very difficult because you’re both amazing musicians it’s hard to say anything sounds bad when you guys play it.

Awesome intro jam! Love the blue/white Strat finish! But I preferred the new Tele noiseless sounds combination 😉

You guys always do a great job. The Tequila Sunrise has been targeted!

cant wait for julia to cover the player plus basses!

Thanks.

Best prices that I have seen are with Thomann. Fair play to Thomann. ☘️👏🏻💵🎸 Thanks Thomann.

Thanks for a great video. I prefer the not noiseless pickups on the strat especially on the neck pickup. On the tele i prefer the noiseless pickups especially the neck pickup. Wow how warm that sound. I am not a fan of the regular neck pickup on a tele but the noiseless is amazing. You didnt show the split sound on the bridge on the tele if i understand right its also a different wiring and can sound very close to a humbucker if i get this right (or how you connect bridge with neck pickup) is there so? Different wiring? They talk about that in the andertons demo. Not a fan of the pau ferro fretboard and not a bone nut but this time the Tele wins

To me I'm interested in the HSS Strat and soundwise the humbucker on the player plus blew the player series away clean or crunch.

I may be quite alone with this, but I love the sound of the Strat middle PU alone so much!

you should totally do a strat vs tele thing again, but with masterbuilt guitars and some nice amps. like a 64 custom deluxe, a mesa fillmore or a tone king imperial. just an idea 😅

I loved!

I have to say, in the past it was very easy to tell the tones apart between noiseless and normal...now? Man...not easy at all...

Ich habe meine normale Player Tele beim Lacker meines Vertrauens in metallic grün lackieren lassen und gestaggerte Mechaniken eingebaut, nun gibt's das direkt von Fender. Das Grün ist echt klasse.

Those Telecasters Are KICKASS!!!🤯👍

See now Kris is finally going in the right direction. His Strat now has the three pickups, it still looks a litte weird, tho - headstock is a little off and as far as I can tele (:D), there's no trem :D

I have essentially over time built that Nashville tele but with the squire walnut paranormal jazzmaster/tele hybrid body and a roasted maple neck and dimarzio pickups. AND STILL I feel the GAS. Good thing I cant afford it. I guess that's how DIY comes to be xD

Thanks! I see there is also a player plus tele without the middle pickup (the non nashville version). Is there any reason to go for that one? I don't understand.

NICE

Good sound bro😎👍

Good news the plus guitars !! Bad news a strat plus has no tremolo ? I had hoped plus ment a working trem. I blocked the trem block on my us strat because it never worked properly. 😓

That push-pull makes it hard to deFender PP. I thank you!

Alright! Fender is all over the place! Even Mary Spender has one for review!!

The Strat FTW, I do like that Green color a lot yet for me the tone and style of the strat are worth holding one up at full arm extension for an hour. 👍🏽

people forget this is like the rebranding of the Deluxe Player / Deluxe Roadworn which had Noiseless Gen 4.

Idk if you're just leaning into that hb with a little more passión, but it sounds like it's got a bit of sparkle/richness than any hb I've heard.

Yes, you are lacking SG guy and 335 guy :D Regarding the noisless pickups, I see it as Helix or Kemper. Great worksman tool, very convenient, but if you have the vintage tone in head, nothing else will do.

I’ve been drooling over that aged candy apple red all evening

How does it work for shred/metal/grunge since they're the genres I tend to play the most

What is the pickups height on this noiseless?

Except for the neck pickup, the new PP strat was nice. The noiseless neck pickup sounded too scooped.

I've always been a Fender Guy. I really enjoyed the reviews. That new Telecaster with the 3 pick ups and the push pull pot, great stuff. How does it do with Chicken Picken style of playing? Thanks, Nathan

Sweet paint job on the ST. Though, i can't see it beating my Schecter Nick Johnston HSS for tonal variety (purchased via Thomann - ta guys). Have to wonder if Fender are fretting about the competition (pun intended) ;)

Kris, Awesome show. Love the player series but I am really digging the color blending Strat. Guillome knocked it out of the park. Your Teles were definitely impressive. You have me really interested in the necks on those guitars. Just fantastic show with fantastic guitar playing. Kris u r fantastic!

Should have shown color options too.

Not split test?

aber warum habt Ihr die Gitarre von Fender in blau...weiß aus dem Video gar nicht im Angebot bei Thomann? Zumindest war sie nicht auffindbar mit dem Link....

bro why u come out with the player plus right after i get a player

seems Fender got new CNC tooling for the rolled edges

I wish the block heel joint had a 2nd block heel on top. It's the 21st century.

The bridge pickup on the tele seems very lacking

One of those Teles, or Strats, would be nice.... 😀❤️❤️🎵🎵🎸🎸

i kinda liked the H on the Player better

I can tolerate a unrolled fretboard as long as the guitar makes me want to play it... The biggest, best thing that Fender did is by throwing away that cheap bridge meat tenderizer!Under no circumstances will I subject my hand to those awful, cheap, and down right painful bridge saddles! It hurts, it cuts, and without the ashtray cover, I won't touch the old telecasters without preparing the bridge with with rubber adhesive, silicone, or refinishing the metal. Sadly, I have to say that I prefer the dynamics of the new plus series and I regret it because I'm sure Fender is jacking prices for things that are a sidestep. I liked the bridge HB pickup because I forgot it wasn't a single coil and all of the pickups had good dynamics; both teles are useful IMHO. Guillermo, I haven't bought a Gibson in my lifetime, but if Fender keeps pushing into the American line prices... I'll gladly but a Gibson! (Just after I buy my last Fender, the Johnny Marr Jaguar... that's such a well put together guitar!)

I definitely like the tone of the regular pickups over the noiseless. But that green 💚💚💚!!! I do not have a green guitar.... 🤔

which amps do you use here respectively??

Not even gonna lie, I think Guillaume is one of my favorite Strat players.

ARE THEY SHORT SCALE?

So basically the mods that people have been doing for years for about half the price are now available fresh out of the box.

Other KZfaq reviewers have also complained about the difficulty with pulling the push/pull knob on the HSS strat. Fender needs to fix that. It is too hard to use in the middle of playing.

Wish the hss version has more color options...those two tone colors looks really unappealing.. atleast fender would have added opal spark and aged candy apple red to choose from.....

The Player sounded just as good as the Player Plus in your example. Next time crank them through a 100w Marshall & play some torrid rock. That's what you'll hear in Aussie pubs.

juz when i decided to settle down a classic vibe 😂

If I were Fender i would add a couple of lines, clearly not enough iterations of the same stuff.

new Fender with Alibaba burst

nothing yet for left-handed players? huh...what a shame :)

Never thought Mexican fenders would cross the $1K threshold.

The strat colors look sooo childish and toy like that I didn't even bother watching the video up to the sound test. The visual disgust the strat gave me in the first 30 seconds or so was enough for me. On the other hand the tele looks very proper and sophisticated, something that'd still be desirable after a decade.

The humbucker on the Strat HSS is butt fugly!! The offset screws on the cover are just wrong!! They’d have been better off putting a bare bobbined Humbucker in there!

Almost 1000 Euros for a Mexican Strat ? No way !

I’d rather have the Tele.

Never heard a noiseless single coil that i liked. It's like comparing a miced up acoustic guitar to one with pickups. It Just sounds fake.

players strats were great cause they were cheap why should i buy that when for the same money i can buy an american strat

I think fender mexican guitars are too expensive.They are priced in excess of a used American stratt.They change the pickups and double the price of the guitars.Its a rip off for what is a basic alder body maple neck found on and just as good on cheaper brands.I can get a great sound out of a cheap guitar.

Jai pas compris le trait d humour sur le fait de "jouer dans un bar pres d une gare ou d une mine." 🤔

Don’t like the Barbie two tone

Those gradient colour finishes are horrible. On the other hand, the Opal Sparkle colour on J-Bass with maple fretboard looks great. Too bad they didn't make similar options available for Telecaster and Strats.

Blah blah blah!!! Nothing special about these guitar s !!! Different humbucker variation in bridge !!! Nashville tele now named Players Plus !!! Install a blender pot, which is way better than the seven way switch !! Any well rounded guitarist can make any guitar sound fabulous !! Blah blah blah !!
