No time for long videos? There's a Playing Only Demo of the new Fender Player II guitars over on Andertons 2! | th-cam.com/video/SZ05pu8yjyU/w-d-xo.html
U guys are always wonderful to watch and hear. You show some of the most beautiful guitars in the world. Fantastic promo videos for your business. Thank you.
I WANT TO SEE YOU GO TO THAT FACTORY! 😭 I was literally looking on the channel yesterday if you had already gone after re-watching your review of the Player Plus Meteora. Love those behind the scenes vids like the Fender and Gibson previews. Thanks gents!
@@amysarg CITES regulations meant you couldn't use rosewood for a quite a while. The regulations were later changed to allow it, so they went back to it but had surplus boards (or so people are claiming). I much prefer rosewood, although Indian Laurel was quite a nice replacement if you couldn't get rosewood. Pau Ferro was...okay.
@MaksHedlund Yeah, that makes sense. They're going to use up what they have. Bullet Squiers have the super-thin nut width, so the boards they had were probably already cut to that so they used them. Have to think if they were usable on more expensive guitars, they'd have used them.
@@WelshNareik I know that tonewood isn't real in electric guitars, you know that tonewood isn't real in electric guitars, the people selling used guitars know that tonewood isn't real in electric guitars; but do their _customers_ know?
@@1man1guitarletsgo I'm a knob, totally thought you were being serious. One of my guitar friends buys into every single myth, even pedal circuit aging to justify buying vintage things.
@@WelshNareik Thanks! It's very difficult to use sarcasm in posts, so I totally get that you missed my attempt. Anyway, let's wait a few years and see if my joke prediction becomes true!
got a feeling we can thank Sire guitars for Fender deciding to roll edges again .... Sire has been making Fenders fret work look shabby since its first release
It's too bad Gibson doesn't do affordable stuff like this. Epiphone's quality control is all over the place. Good for Fender! They deserve the success they're getting!
It is currently paradise for the mid and entry level guitarist. Gibson and Fender are using their classic recipes and thanks to Epiphone and this Fender series you can get a hell of a lot of guitar for your money now. I'm getting one of these. Great demo guys.
the lack of rosewood is literally the one thing that has stopped me from buying one so far. Good. On top of that they offer rolled edges AND the tuners I like most. 100% win
Just bought Player 3 days ago. I was dreading the new release and the thought that I have just screwed it up but luckily not much change between the two iterations.
I’m so glad that Rosewood has made a return on these. I think if they had put the smaller headstocks on these I’d be lining up but honestly, I don’t mind Pau Ferro on my 2018 Player Strat. (Edit I must be blind as these are the regular sized headstocks!😅) I was gifted 69 custom shop pickups and they’re in the guitar as well lovely sounding and I’m always grateful The colors are absolutely stunning!! Gorgeous!!❤❤❤🎉
@@johnm3844perhaps I’m mistaken I’ll look again. Fair play I was mistaken these will certainly fly off shelves❤ RW and rolled edges and these colors 😅😮😮
My first Strat was a 93 MIM Strat Special with HSS and only one tone knob. In place of the second was a coil splitter for the humbucker. It was sunburst but back then they made that backs solid black.
Exited to se these new guitars reviewed. Yours is the first I’ve seen thanks guys. I’m ready for a new strat. Glad to see rosewood back. Thank you so much . 😊
@jimlin7782 I expected no less. The telecaster range is basically sunburst from the 1st player series but now with a black pick guard, same for polar white with a rose wood finger board same as last time and an off butterscotch blonde or yellow they are calling it so almost no change since player series. Cheers fender for total lack of options. 😡
Great demo as always! Pete shredding in the closeout jam was tasty. You should get Julian Lage on the show! He did an insane demo on the Player II Tele for Guitar Center, was so shocked to see they got him to do it. But anyway, I think you guys would enjoy the hangout with Julian!
There's Lee doing some damage limitation around 22:10, when Pete said the wrong thing! I like six-saddle bridges, but this design places the fixing screws directly under the saddle adjustment screws. Also, I've seen Teles with this bridge, where the string spacing is too wide at the saddles, so the strings are too close to the fretboard edges above the 12th fret. Fender really should sort that out.
It really is a bit daft but me, having been closer to camp of "if the Strat has needed so many mods, upgrades etc.over the years, was it even playable originally?", yep I have often thought " oh my god! not again! However! For some reason this time I find myself becoming rather intrigued. I think I like it!!
I already ordered my new P bass in that birch green! I can’t wait. I love my player p; this update is exactly what it needed to make it the perfect bass for me. These new colors are killer too.
Me too, I was looking at my 2 strats this morning,trying to find excuses why I don't like them and need a new one 🙂. I was surprised with the price, I thought they would have increased at least 20%, very cool
Hopefully they're better coming out of the factory than my original Player was. Bowed neck, poorly cut nut, flat spots on the bridge saddles and a few other things had me shaking my head at Fender quality to the point that now I've gone to G&L and my Player went to somebody else.
I like the configuration of the red guitar on the video (5:35) behind Justin it looks like a Jaguar but is not in the Fender catalog maybe a future US version?..
I went into this thinking, "Here we go again". £999 for no real change other than "new pickups". But, to be fair to Fender. These are nice upgrades for very little extra money.
Great playing you guys! Sounds like Fender heard what ticked all of us Player buyers off. I returned TWO Players because the fretwork was horrific and I didnt like the bridge or tuners. Im excited to order this new Rosewood player series! I hope these issues have been fixed. Birch green looks Sick 😍
Welcome additions to an already good guitar...provided Ensenada have improved their quality control. Bought a SSS Player in Tidepool Blue in November, had to return the first one I received because the neck was not fitted properly into the neck pocket (screwed too tight on one side, paint - and probably the wood underneath cracked, neck not in contact with the body on the other side), also had to return the second one after a couple of weeks, the tremolo bar and the supplied adjustment hex wrench were not the right ones for the bridge. Had to wait another 3 months to get my guitar back from supplier (not Anderton) because the components were not available at Fender's. Definitely not what I expected from a guitar at this price point with the Fender brand on the headstock, even if the neck feels great (and should feel even better with rolled edges), the pickups sound as you would expect from a true Strat, the 2-point tremolo bridge is very usable and stable (even floated) even if the play of the (right) tremolo bar is still annoying.
A giant step in the right direction. Slab rose boards/rolled edges for a $799 player series is great. Coral red is an interesting color, I’d like to see it next to Fiesta
Great modding platforms! I love they brought back the trem on the Jazzmaster... which will eventually be changed for a mastery, but the route is there and that's what matters.
Man, any deviation from the Tele formula is sacrilege to me. If you want a humbucker, get a guitar that should have one, not a Tele. (kidding really...get what you like).
When i saw Player II i thought that they were getting rid of that terrible neck heel to get them close to the AM line but no, new pickups and rosewood, i cant describe my excitement, i might not even sleep tonight
i stand corrected,Fender does offer a couple of these models in a left handed version but only single coils for the strat and tele,would it kill Fender to give us a lefty HSS strat and HH tele!
Rosewood return feels like a direct response to the success of the SE Silversky. They tried to cut corners and one of the biggest complaints was the pau ferro trash boards.
The SS could very well have played a role. I do believe they had a giant surplus of pau ferro because CITES reinstated rosewood a little while ago. They must have been scared out of their minds because CITES was mostly about furniture. Guitar boards were not on their radar
@@thesmellycatjazz Yeah but they could have used one of the various types of laurel boards instead that are much more similar to rosewood. Pau ferro is just cheap crap, might as well buy a Home Depot 2x4 and mill that down, it'd be similar quality. At least they've ditched it now.
The biggest difference with Pao ferro is the color, which isn't as dark. The wood makes perfectly fine fret boards, but people whined and whined because it wasn't darker brown. Guitarists are not the most rational crowd.
Long time subscriber of your channel. I don't come here only for the guitar playing. That I can get from hundreds of other channels. I have been coming here over the years mainly for the British humor man, although that has gone a little soft nowadays compared to the good old days, which is understandable LOL, and maybe a little bit of guitar playing. So I'm not gonna go to the second channel. Love you guys.
Lee already knows the fundamental modes Ionian and Aeolian, I’m sure. Lydian and Mixolydian and so similar to Ionian and Pete’s quick demonstration was crucial. Great bends Lee, you’re so close now. Pete doesn’t Phrygian mode much, but I’m sure he knows it. The darker places of the scale, yours to discover. ❤️
I agree Pete, that was the first thing I did was pop off that crappy tele bridge and install a vintage 3 barrel Pat Pending Fender bridge with classic brass saddles and what a difference in look AND sound! cheap and easy upgrade! Nice guitars, I love the Player series AND the Vintera, have two from each!
I recently just bought a new player strat made in Mexico blueburst and It was a dud just too many issues including tuning fret buzz... I returned it. Kind of gave me a bad taste about new fender guitars. If it's details their improving, how about a good set up and strings from the factory

Can we have Channel 3? Only the talking? That's what I'm here for.
@@andertons I'm interested in the opposite. I usually skip the playing parts...intros aso 🙈 I go straight to the talking 🙃
😂
Player III : stainless steel frets & bone nut . Player IV : Nitro finish - Hard Case.😂
I thought you'd say Player IV: Harley Benton💀
.. made in a new Indonesian factory (Cambodian orphanage)
Player V: is a Shcecter Traditional (and massively better)
LOL
Exactly. All the features a $300 guitar on Amazon has. Fender will trickle these features out over the next several years
I like Pete’s honesty about the Telecaster 🙂
....but as per usual interrupted by the capitain........because "We've got to sell these guitars, Pete".....
It is misleading putting new pickups in the title. As the most popular models, Strat and Tele, have the same old player pickups.
The Coral Red Strat is gorgeous!
Agreed!
Not as classic as Fiesta Red
@@herewego034yeah the old fiesta-salmony red are stunning

The Brits couldn’t handle a visit to Mexico.
Rosewood+rolled fingerboard is good to see.
yeah I mean, is good to see but is the bare minimum
@MaksHedlund you are right, such a waste of guitar bodys in the series player I

It sucks and it’s ugly
I'm amazed how Pete managed to just slip a few "hawk tuah" references in there! Legend!!! 😂😂😂
The Captain’s panic when Danish Pete criticised the tele’s ash tray 😂
Pete's "don't believe a word" face at 22:38 had me in bits
got a feeling we can thank Sire guitars for Fender deciding to roll edges again ....
Sire has been making Fenders fret work look shabby since its first release
Man, Caps playing really improved 🔥
Finally rosewood it’s about time.
I got my strat with rosewood last year.
Right?? Finally!!!
The Captains playing has improved from the older videos! It has inspired me to keep learning and practicing.
That black Mustang with a rosewood fingerboard is the one for me.
I remember the first player comes out with 22 frets and 2 pivor bridge and it just exploded. Really amazing fender strat.
Agree, i looove my Player I HSS Strat! 👍🏻
It's too bad Gibson doesn't do affordable stuff like this. Epiphone's quality control is all over the place. Good for Fender! They deserve the success they're getting!
Affordable Gibson would defeat half the purpose.
They do its called Kramer!
the cheaper casino is very good for what you get. very good
They are too busy paying their lawyers to make decent guitars.
@@jordanpratt3821 yeah that's fair. I wish Epiphone's quality control was better for there higher end stuff.
Rosewood never left. Buying a new guitar nowadays is wild. I'll always prefer the used market.
They look so much better now
That red strat is to die for!! just stunning!
It is currently paradise for the mid and entry level guitarist. Gibson and Fender are using their classic recipes and thanks to Epiphone and this Fender series you can get a hell of a lot of guitar for your money now. I'm getting one of these. Great demo guys.
Rolled edges was much needed. Sharp frets seemed to be a huge prob with the player 1s.
I'm with Pete, that birchwood green is a great color!
totally agree, that strat looks great
I like it too. Looks good
the lack of rosewood is literally the one thing that has stopped me from buying one so far. Good. On top of that they offer rolled edges AND the tuners I like most. 100% win

4:20 That's a Giant Sequoia Redwood you're thinking of Pete! 😂
I love the look of a warn maple board. If that blu tele had a maple option, I’d have one in the cart.
I’m so glad that Rosewood has made a return on these. I think if they had put the smaller headstocks on these I’d be lining up but honestly, I don’t mind Pau Ferro on my 2018 Player Strat.
(Edit I must be blind as these are the regular sized headstocks!😅)
I was gifted 69 custom shop pickups and they’re in the guitar as well lovely sounding and I’m always grateful

However!
For some reason this time I find myself becoming rather intrigued. I think I like it!!
Looking forward to seeing the chambered versions, the colours look more to my taste
Havent been this early for an andertons video since 1964!
I already ordered my new P bass in that birch green! I can’t wait. I love my player p; this update is exactly what it needed to make it the perfect bass for me. These new colors are killer too.
£699 (MIM strat) for the specs being offered, is actually a decent price. I'd be tempted, if I didn't already have enough strats.
Me too, I was looking at my 2 strats this morning,trying to find excuses why I don't like them and need a new one 🙂. I was surprised with the price, I thought they would have increased at least 20%, very cool
Wait... some people aren't here for the banter?
Been wanting a mahogany tele for a long time!
Epiphone, we need to talk about those $1,500 guitars with Indian Laurel.
Epiphone actually already released standard les paul in rosewood in China.
If we're going to talk about it then we need to talk about 1500 dollar epis period.
Ugly garbage. It’s about $$$$$
At that price just buy a used Gibson …not custom reissues, but up to a les paul standard…they are out there on reverb
What bout $2800 AUD Epiphone’s? That’s what they cost in Australia
Hopefully they're better coming out of the factory than my original Player was. Bowed neck, poorly cut nut, flat spots on the bridge saddles and a few other things had me shaking my head at Fender quality to the point that now I've gone to G&L and my Player went to somebody else.
pete with the high gain in that blue tele absolute AWESOME tone and riffing
damn pete we see you 😳
Fender is kicking out of park again with all these features in budget arena lineup.
So glad rosewood is back. The white Strat with rosewood board would be my choice
I like the configuration of the red guitar on the video (5:35) behind Justin it looks like a Jaguar but is not in the Fender catalog maybe a future US version?..
I went into this thinking, "Here we go again". £999 for no real change other than "new pickups". But, to be fair to Fender. These are nice upgrades for very little extra money.
Looking forward to trying one of the chambered offerings when they show up. I've enjoyed my Player Strat and wouldn't trade it.
Pete, that's koa that has to fall naturally
Interesting. The return of rosewood is a way overdue. I will have to try one.
Good stuff guys! Just play and show us what we don’t know! Which is plenty! 😅great one with Justin! 👍🏿✌️

I love they brought back the trem on the Jazzmaster... which will eventually be changed for a mastery, but the route is there and that's what matters.
They moved the trem to be closer to the bridge so it's close but not quite traditional
Koa wood is the one that has to fall first. Hawaii has really scrict rules about harvesting it

15:05 Would love to see Mexico factory tour!
Could you do a comparison between the Fender Player Plus and Fender Player II series?
I would make popcorn to see you guys tour Ensenada! They are producing some great instruments.
Interested to see if that HH tele is cool or not.
Man, any deviation from the Tele formula is sacrilege to me. If you want a humbucker, get a guitar that should have one, not a Tele. (kidding really...get what you like).

No new pick-ups. Rosewood and rolled fingerboard edges. The kids are going wild.
Of course they bring out a black HH player tele 4 months after I buy the seafoam green one 😢
If the Jaguars had the traditional switch I would have bought one right away 😢
yeah looks so weird.
Same. The lack of traditional switching makes these a pass for me
I'm really excited about the upcoming release of Chambered Body😊
