Hi Rachelf , the FM plus suits you very well it matches your bubbly and warm personality and is very versatile for playing like you. Looks like fender finally got it right after all these years, great N/LS pickups and locking tuners. "Have a lot of fun playing ". Very best wishes. John.

Bridge pickup, Dwight Yoakam "Fast As You." You can also try position 2, and of course all five as well. Easy intro that rocks for a country song. It starts on the 6th string played Open-Open-3-4 then to the 5th string 5-2-4-2 (numbers are the fret and open means open string).

When I was learning guitar I wanted a Strat, since my favorite guitarist, Stevie Ray Vaughan, used a Strat. Nowadays, I actually prefer the Telecaster. And I see Fender makes a Nashville Tele with a butterscotch finish! Those green basses look sweet too. Do you listen to any Eric Johnson? I think he currently has my favorite Strat sound. Some of his licks aren't as hard to play as they sound.

@@cheekymonkeygirl3378 The only way to know for sure is to play a few. Do you have a music store near you to try a couple? If not, who are some players you like? Most electric guitars are variations on about five basic styles. You should be able to find a guitar you like.

Coming from Ibanez, I imagine the best part about this neck (compared to a traditional Fender Strat) is the flatter fingerboard. I think it's a 12" radius. A standard modern strat would be 9.5", and a traditional strat is 7.5". Did you feel comfortable with the flatter 12" fingerboard? I think that was a good move to pair with the noiseless pickups. I feel the high-gain folk also like the flatter fingerboards.
@RachelfGuitar 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah the fretboard felt very similar to what I'm used to! Definitely comfortable for me. The thicker neck I think will take a bit more time to get used to, but it also seems comfortable so far!
@DTravisNorth 2 жыл бұрын
@@RachelfGuitar my first guitar was a Squier Strat. Really thin neck (9.5" fretboard). I bought a pro 2 from Fender earlier this year with the thicker neck. It took some getting used to but I now really appreciate it. I feel I have better form now.

New axe - always a happy day! Cool color, too. I've heard the new Player Plus guitars are nice, not too expensive (I'm cheap), and locking tuners almost sell it for me. Being kind of a purist (read: snob) about single coils, those don't sound quite as muffled as a lot of 'noiseless' single-coils I've heard. I'd still swap 'em out for a set of Rio Grande's, though.
