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
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 . . . 😎
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.
Yes yes yes! Thanks a lot Oilid. The strats are pretty and the teles sound great. Nothing new here I guess. haha! Just kidding brother, thanks for the comment!! //Kris
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
You wished, Frankyboy, you wished...😈 It ain't happening. I actually just showed, that the best sounding strat is actually a tele with a weird looking third pickup in the middle. Tremolo? Huh! That's for those, who don't know to wiggle the neck enough for the vibrato. 😂 Cheers buddy! //Kris
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.
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. 👍🏽
Hey Poo, I'm sure you don't mind me auto-correcting your misspelled words. Here we go: "The TELE FTW, I do like that Green color a lot AND for me the tone and style of the TELE are worth holding one up at full arm extension for an hour. 👍" You're welcome. 😆 //Kris
@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses The green color was outstanding. I never see green guitars. I better not go over and start looking or I'll have one ordered. LOL
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 😅
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
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
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.
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.
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. 😓
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'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
Hey Nathan, it does the country thing really well too, since it has all the traditional tele pickup combinations too. Thanks for the kind words! //Kris
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.
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) ;)
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.
Other TH-cam 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.
I'm not sure what they mean, it's a normal push-pull pot. I mean these pots are always a bit tricky to push or pull live, because it's an extra movement (switch pickups PLUS push or pull the pot). But that's the nature of this wiring. Cheers //Kris
@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses I don't think the issue was the push pull pot itself. They weren't complaining about the motion of using it. It was difficult for them to actually pull up. I think was because of the knob itself. Fender should have put a different kind of knob on that was easier to grip. It was hard for them to grip for some reason. Both Andy and Ryan said they found themselves having to put their fingernails under the knob to pull up on it. Andy even said he broke a nail doing it 🤣🤣🤣. They both said they would probably be changing the pot to something easier to use. Ryan did say by the end of the review that he thought the knob might be breaking in a bit and be getting easier to pull. Thanks for the great content. Have a great day!
@@ClintsCrypt Gotcha, thanks for the info. It might also be, that the guitar they got just happened to have a stiffer push-pull. Hard to tell without having dozens of them in my hands to compare them. haha! All I know, is that the pot on this tele had a perfectly normal feel when pulling. Cheers and thanks a lot! //Kris
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!
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.....
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....
Nicht nur die blau weisse ist noch nicht im Programm, sondern gar keine. Sind wohl noch nicht verfuegbar. Der Link fuehrt einfach nur zu ner Suche auf Thomman mit dem Suchbegriff "Player Plus" Sobald sie also auf Thomann verfuegbar sind, wird man auch unter dem Link was finden.
Hi, die Gitarren wurden erst ein bisschen später freigeschalten am ersten Tag, als das Video rauskam. Seit dem sind alle verfügbar (und im Moment noch sogar auf Lager). Danke für's Kommentieren! :) Ciao //Kris
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.
@@AscendanceMedia same here..bought a Strat standard 2017 (before player series) but didn't like it at all, changed the pickups (custom 69), shielded it with copper foil too..but way too noisy and doesn't feel good to play. Maybe now with the noiseless pickups :)
That might be the case, and if so, I'm really happy they do. haha! These feel so much better than all of the necks from like 10 years ago. Cheers //Kris
Hey, the Player Plus is essentially the Mexican version of the American Ultra. It costs exactly half of that and has most of its features. If you look at it this way, the price point makes a lot of sense. The Player Plus should not be compared to the most affordable American models, because the specs are so different. Cheers //Kris
I agree, you could buy a player series and a pre wired american loaded pickguard and have your choice of pups and pickguard colour for less than a player plus!
Hey, in the intro Jam I was playing the REVV D20 head and Guillaume the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe. Then throughout the video we both played the REVV to show the guitars. It's an incredible pedal friendly clean amp. We were using pedals for any overdrive you've heard in the video. Cheers //Kris
@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses THANKS A LOT!!recently got a DELUXE REVERB 65 REISSUE by thomann, really good amp stock , very pleased, suits all guitarrs , convenient and efficient, only one con, ought to have a footswitch with lights , never knows when tege reverb or vib are on
ups... sorry. 😆 Very different price point though. And vibes too. These are, sound and feel way more modern than the classic vibes. Both are great for what they are. Cheers //Kris
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!
Hey, my first tele was a Mexican 50's road worn and it cost me over 1k. That was over 6 years ago, so it's not really new from Fender. They want to cover every single price point, which is a reasonable and clever business decision. Cheers //Kris
Hi, well this is pretty much the Mexican version of the American Ultra, only for half the money. If you look at it this way, the price isn't that strange anymore. Also, if you get a Player and mod it to have the Player Plus specs, you spend more. Cheers //Kris
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.
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.
I was about to say I hope the fade finish trend dies quickly. First saw it on Chapman guitars and didn't like it then, and I still don't on these, even though I like everything else about that strat. That blue and white would look sweet in a burst, but half-half just looks weird. EDIT: just looked at the whole range, and I will say the yellow-red strat is making me change my mind!
I think the gradient color finishes can be more expensive to make and I feel they look more premium if done right . They all look fantastic guitars anyway
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 !!
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 TH-cam so far!! Makes sense in my mind if you’re a Tele player - great stuff man
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 may be quite alone with this, but I love the sound of the Strat middle PU alone so much!
Clapton, Bonnie Raitt and many others do too! 😎
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.
Thanks so much Nicola!! We like comparing models for that exact reason: it's way easier to put things in perspective. Cheers //Kris
Awesome intro jam!
Love the blue/white Strat finish!
But I preferred the new Tele noiseless sounds combination 😉
Yes yes yes! Thanks a lot Oilid. The strats are pretty and the teles sound great. Nothing new here I guess. haha! Just kidding brother, thanks for the comment!! //Kris
@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses 🤗
cant wait for julia to cover the player plus basses!
Best prices that I have seen are with Thomann. Fair play to Thomann. ☘️👏🏻💵🎸
Thanks Thomann.
I haven't checked; what are we looking at for their prices?

@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses LOL
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.
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...
That's absolutely true. They came a long way. //Kris

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.
people forget this is like the rebranding of the Deluxe Player / Deluxe Roadworn which had Noiseless Gen 4.
Those Telecasters Are KICKASS!!!🤯👍
That push-pull makes it hard to deFender PP. I thank you!

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

Sidenote that strat paint job (i believe) is called Belair Blue .... and they only went and did a P-bass in that colour too :)
I wish the block heel joint had a 2nd block heel on top. It's the 21st century.
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.
Not even gonna lie, I think Guillaume is one of my favorite Strat players.
How does it work for shred/metal/grunge since they're the genres I tend to play the most
