  • @ronmoore1219
    @ronmoore1219 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Thank you. That was a great showcase. I like the changes in the II. Especially the rolled fret board edges and the vintage tuners. Every time I change strings on my Am Performer, I appreciate the tuners more. And rosewood fret boards are a very welcome change. Nothing wrong with Pao Ferro. I just haven’t been a fan of its color. Well, I’m interested in the routed mahogany and ash bodies, so I’ll eagerly wait for their introduction. Great video, Cooper, thanks again.

  • @Mark254-TX
    @Mark254-TX 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    Hi Cooper,... I remember back in the early 2000's when Pau Ferro was a boutique option with a higher price tag... hahaha .... As always y'all do a great job of showing off the gear... well done once again :-)

    • @aussiecue

    Just got my player II, from Sweetwater. Got the blonde ash. Mine seems pretty perfect
    Interesting, the initial serial number I got at Sweetwater didn’t meet there “standards” (I paid for a set up) and my sales engineer said they picked out the best of the batch., for what that’s worth. I was happy with the weight and look of the one they chose. I’m certainly no luthier but this guitar seems very well built 😊

    That's great news, in particular the neck edges improvements, I tried a coulpe of "old" Players and I wasn't really convinced by the feel of the neck, but I absolutely loved the Player Plus series' ones.
    I really hoped we could choose between maple and rosewood fingerboard without being binded to a specific body colour (I would immediately buy an aquatone blue Tele if it came with maple fingerboard), but I guess we can't get everything.

  • @jasonswitzer1748
    @jasonswitzer1748 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    You knocked “Hiya-Lee-ah” out of the park. It’s an area of Miami. Color name makes sense when you think about the location. Got those South Florida vibes.
    Also, while I don’t like the look of the modern Tele bridges, that guitar makes all the right Tele sounds. Can’t complain about the pickups.
    As for the Strat… they aren’t my jam (sounds too thin for what I play), but if I were in the market for a Strat, this would 100% be my jam. Nice color choices, like the aged hardware, vintage tuners, rosewood with rounded fretboard and 2 point trem. Not sure what more you could ask for in terms of a Strat.

  • @guitarheadhunt
    @guitarheadhunt 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I tried one of the chambered ash telecasters and the tone was way different than the alder solid body. The chambered body seem to have way less spank in the sound. It was the white blonde. I liked the guitar but the tone wasn't there compared to the alder body. Too bad, I want another ash body guitar. I wish they didn't chamber the ash body. It was my first experience with a chambered body guitar. I compared the alder and the ash chambered back to back and the tone difference was drastic. It also seemed to be a bit darker compared to the alder. I did notice the action on the ash was a bit higher but I wouldn't think that would contribute to the major difference in tone.

    @JakeL202 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    I live in Montreal Canada and the Player II series go for $1150 to over $1200 CDN, of course our Dollar is worth less than the US dollar, so $700 or so is a good price. Seems like Fender has to keep up with Sterling (Music Man) and Sire.

    I paid $350 for my Standard Tele but that was 25 years ago and the new ones are better guitars with a lot more options. I've actually seen guitars exactly like my old one on Reverb for $600, not sure who's paying that.

    The big difference is in the HSS configuration. The player I had a split coil in position 4 where the player II does not.

  • @KRAZEEIZATION
    @KRAZEEIZATION 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    It’s good to see rosewood again but I wouldn’t buy one of these models because the Strat has that horrible 2 point bridge and the Tele has a 6 saddle bridge.

    Good demo and coverage but why do people gloss over the hardware with a simple "upgraded hardware" well, what's upgraded? From here it looks like the same from the Player I series and if all the electronics are the same (why would they change that) same with the body material, the only change I see is all in the neck. So, can I just buy a new neck for my Player I?

    • @daviddenoncourt757
      @daviddenoncourt757 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      They both have the rolled edges, I think the main selling point of the Plus is a more refined look with the tortoise shell pickguards and suck, some limited edition also have roasted maple neck if you can grab that too.

    • @sagittated
      @sagittated 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Big difference is the player plus have the flatter 12" radius. Player II have the standard 9.5.

  • @RickFoxx777
    @RickFoxx777 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    They look nice and sound nice but... as usual, the neck is the same ole neck on every guitar (for the last 5 years or so) under $1000.00 and it is either a modern C or regular C or a deep C (I have played them all and basically they are all the same...nothing special at all).
    I personally have not purchased a Fender strat for over 5 years because all the soft V necks are either signature strats, or soft V with a 7.5 radius and cheap poplar and Basswood bodies or a custom shop strat which IMO, the price for them is just way to high for most working musicians.
    Consider this, you can get a FireFly strat with Locking Tuners, Roasted Maple Neck, Bone Nut, Alder Body or Ash, Alnico 5 Pups and Stainless Steel Frets all for under $200.00 and they sound great. Yeah sure, they only have C necks but for the price, I myself bit the bullet and bought two at Christmas for under $300.00 plus shipping.
    For me it's easier to buy a FireFly and swap out the neck for a soft V ($299.00 for a Fender neck or $169.00 for a Fender knock off at Northwest guitars) and still have a great guitar under $500.00.
    If Fender ever gets it together again and decides to make a decent (under 900.00) guitar with a soft V neck AND A 9.5 radius with an ALDER or ASH body (at the very least) then I may start buying them again. Just my 2 cents worth. Peace.

    Wish they’d ditch the slim neck carve and thicken it up some. I played an American pro 2 that had a thicker neck and taller/narrower frets. If the player 2 had a thicker neck carve and taller/narrower frets I’d buy a Tele. As is, I just don’t care for them.

    3:33 I find it interesting that Cooper doesn't know what a rolled fretboard edge is. Now I'm no Sherlock Holmes here, but I would bet my fully customized Squier with Dunlop strap locks and no neck pocket cracks that Cooper does not work on his own guitars.

  • @richardroyster6631
    @richardroyster6631 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I remember that Pau ferro was more expensive than rosewood. I do not consider this an upgrade. Sharp frets is different from rolled edges. A new guitar should not have sharp frets. That's for the shop to handle when buying new. I like the MIM standard and i would upgrade the pup and by a new case or upgrade my amp. I am skipping the Player 2. But thanks fender for the new line. The new line is a hard sell, for me.

      Sweetwater has Player II Strats and Teles in stock and the photos of the back of the headstocks show MX in front of the serial number and also say "Made in Ensenada".

      The guitars are made in Ensenada, Mexico. The Player Plus models do have locking tuners and block saddles. A nice thing about the classicgear tuners on the Player II is that they are vintage looking modern mount which means you can drop locking tuners in with no modifictation - Chris

      You should really research or at the very least think before you make statements lol
      “They’re made in Indonesia now.”

      @@ml2054 Yeah I spent every single hour last night, sifting over every single spec I could find online on the new Fender player II Stratocaster....before I typed my first comment.......are you for real?
      I had read some of these new player IIs were being manufactured in an Indonesian plant. Its just a comment mate. Do I have to reach your "Bible" commenting status before I type a youtube comment now?

    Any guess?

    The Player Plus at $999.00 and they have locking tunners, noiseless pickups and a push pull pot. So why would I want to buy one of these?? BTW, I bought a player Plus Tele last year. Nice ax!

    Standard mexican strats used to be $500 and came with shitty hardware, and ceramic pickups.
    They now are like $750-850 and have alnico pickups, better hardware, better tuners, better trems, no more shitty zinc trem block, rolled edges.
    I mean, and these guitars are workhorses for studio and live. Buy one, get it set up well and it can do anything you need it to.

      I bought an American Telecaster and Japanese Tele last year and since have sold them both. My Pacific Peach Tele sounds and plays better than both so I kept it and it's my main Tele.

    Why has Fender labeled it with the city it is made in (Ensenada) rather than the country (Mexico)? My understanding is countries that require imported goods to be labeled with country of origion..want the country, not the city. This is odd.
