Back then i went for MIJ Hybrid because of rosewood rather than Player Series with the pau ferro. this time i might considered player ii but i prefer MIJ.
Fender is putting a lot of features in the mexican line that were in the higher end models. i think they are great guitars overall with a premium for getting a fender. i wouldn't upgrade my player strat though, cause the guitar is already pretty good imo. rosewood is a welcome change too.
The updates are nice added features that was needed to compete with the Silver Sky SE. As a lefty guitar player, the rollout for left handed options and finishes was kinda disappointing, so I probably not going to get one. The only guitar in the lineup that is enticing for me would be the new yellow finish telecaster.
@@dancompton1728 thanks for your comment! It's funny I'm actually left-handed but I chose to learn right handed lol. Do you own a Silversky SE? Is the hype true about them?
@@j.powellnetwork No, the lefty Silver skies don't come out until October I think. I have a custom 24 SE and it's a very comfortable and easy to play guitar. I just don't vibe with the tones a lot because I'm mostly a clean guy these days.
I wasn't aware there were problems with the tuners or pickups. I've known a few people get the player 1 and we're happy. They've been using the same mim tuners since the early 90s lol. Rosewood to me is the biggest legitimate feature. It does sonically make a difference to my ears at least. Thanks for watching!
I love all the changes they made 100% worth it 💯👍🤘

Great vid. Make more
@@DogDog-pu8py thanks!
They fixed several problems with the original Player; tuners, rolled edges, rosewood fingerboard, maybe pickups?
