Please leave comments if you would like me to address anything on my full review
Can you do the player jaguars? Preferably a blue one 😂
Where is it Made?
Richard Rasalapatuski mexico
There was a reddit feed about the build quality was slightly lower, fret ends sticking out, nut not cut correctly.
Hey it was very nice of you to answer my Question in the latest Livestream about that nice tele. I would also love to know what model the surf green semi hollow one is. It looks kinda Mustang-ish.
"What's the difference between a USA Strat and a Mexico Strat?...mmm...about 85 miles."
--Scott Grove
sentforth5 ....for a min. i thought you were Scott, lol
Quoting Scott Grove isn't always a good thing, lol.
kitoyobeni1 ,lol!
‘One is made by Mexicans in Mexico, one is made by Mexicans in the USA’
-Someone on TH-cam, maybe Phil
Lol! I have heard that before, but can't quite pin it.... Sounds like Scott grove, lol!
After 25 years of playing, I finally bought a stratocaster player .. I have to admit that I am very excited .. The build quality is fantastic, I can hardly believe how beautiful it is put together. The sound is real.
Yeah, not all of us can afford an "American made" Strat.
I'm getting a new Player Series Strat, and it is very nice. ❤️🎸🎵
I'm a Fender guy thanks for the info I love your show Phillip 🎸
Great video Phillip as usual! Wore my "Know your gear" shirt out and there were three people who knew what it was in Chicago. My Luthier also knew it. Thanks again very informative as usual.
At around the $700 price point it should at least come with a generic gig bag...
MetalCommand89 Yeah I love Fender guitars but they really should come with a case of some sort... congrats on the new Strat by the way!
yeah man. Even baby taylors come with a gig bag. but whatever
I dont mind if there is no gigbag.. The instrument is fantastic..!
Word? Mine came with a tweed case?
Well, gig bag cost. At this price range I prefer additional attention to detail that cheap gadget
Great demo Philip, as usually!
I bought the same one today :it's a real good strat and looks lovely in this color!
Sounds like you had a good first impression of the Fender Players Series Stratocaster. I like the sound of those pickups. I look forward to a more thorough review after you’ve had some time with it.
Phil, those pickups sound incredible!
Man that Strat looks and sounds amazing Phillip!
Ahh definitely heard about this one. Really glad to see Fender working to make an exceptional comeback in the guitar realm. I need one eventually!
And the lefty models look good as well. They actually gave them their own category box on the Fender website. Southpaws are moving up in the world.
larrimo s finally
I just wish we got the HH tele player series in lefty :(
Indeed. Now if only we could get a Jazzmaster... The new bridge and neck makes me regret buying a Standard in January.
I'm a lefty that plays right handed. I'm so happy I learned to play that way because of the few choices of axes for my fellow lefties.
im a lefty but i just play right handed guitars upside-down to avoid that lol
Loving these new intros, Phil!
Let's Talk About Math Rock Your channel is the best! Huge fan from Brazil.
I actually bought this guitar today, same colour as well. In my opinion the neck feels amazing to play on. Pups have an amazing sound. I couldn't be happier with it!
I like the subtle rebranding of the Player series,it now has the specs and the feel of the old American standard strat from the fender branded bridge,alnico 5 pickups,back neck plate ,satin finish etc and the pickups of the American standard have been changed to fat 50s pups.Thanks for the balanced demoing as always brilliant.
I use too hate maple fret boards, now I really like them on all my guitars, and the sound is also awesome.
definitely maple over pau ferro
I cant wait to see you compare this to a standard
This please!!!
Yes....that would be interesting....
The pickups sound great.
I got mine yesterday with a fender tweed case, I’m gonna put some vintage tuners and a mint green guard. And there I’ve got myself a custom shop Strat
Loving the sound of the new pickups
Just ordered mine late night select top cherry finish mable fretboard black pickguard im stoked cant wait to get it
Always awesome to see Phil JAM a strat! Great review!
I saw these at Gear Fest & the Fender rep said that the new trem is much more stable & has a “much higher cost block”. The SSS model Strats were $559 for Gear Fest. 👍🏻
Blkjakk dammit I wanted to go to gear fest today but couldn’t make it out :(. I would have liked to try them and maybe buy one
Edgar Patlan They had some great deals on them! I got all of them in a video but I haven’t uploaded it yet.
Absolutely wonderful Stratocaster ! Can't beat MIM Fenders on value for money ! These now have Alnico pickups 👍
Shaun W it is definitely a great guitar. Of course gear snobs will always try to beat it down. But between the players and the American professional there’s honestly little difference. Sure the Am pro has rolled edges and better tuners and some electronics differences but I’m not sure that equals $800 difference.
I bought one last week . Actually chose it over an American performer series . I like 2 point terms and it didn’t seem $400 better to me . I was close to buying an American .
@@jamiewhite6798 Nice 👌
Love the 50's style logo on the small headstock. The pickups have been changed and there is now a tone control for the bridge pickup. Also, that one is Sonic red, I have a Dakota Red Stratocaster and Dakota red is darker. Unfortunately, the range of colors is a bit limited this time around, I was hoping for some more choices of colors.
You sound great man, love those licks you are playing so nonchalantly but so expertly. You inspire me to buy one of these things. Thanks man. Jerome from Michigan.
You are part of the Fender family because you probably just sold one to me. Thanks Phillip. You are the best.
You could tell that you "vibed" with it. I love everything but the color. Those pickups sound so much better than the old mim setup!
Opening like a little kid on Christmas, guitar in hand and loves the sticker. 👍
Wow Phil, That Strat sounds amazing!
I tried one out yesterday at GC. First of all, the guitar was actually in tune. I played the HSS model and it sounded great. A decimate buy for me (unless I get a great deal on an old American Standard). This guitar has so much in common with the American Professional; you get 90% of What the MIA offers at roughly half the price.
Thx for being the most honest review guy on youtube.i was jw what was up with this series.that player hs jaguar had me curious
If I put myself back in the early/mid-nineties, when there was an MIM Fender of some sort in nearly every jam room on the block, I would definitely be drawn to this one instead of the MIMs that were actually around back in the day. Those MIMS were plenty nice; relatively cheap, sounded good (though most of us changed out the bridge pickup), and generally bulletproof, but his one looks to be an improvement for sure. Definitely has the sound, the new vintage-style logo is a plus in my book, and Dakota Red is a great sleeper Fender color.
Can't wait to see what mods you do when you set it up
Pickups do sound pretty good
Finally!! The perfect Strat for my budget!! Checkout the TIDEPOOL color, looks georgeus!
You never cease to impress. Lovely guitar, too. Tho I still prefer my 2006 MIM standard, I gotta say I tried one of these in a shop and was very impressed. The neck mostly. I think they nailed the neck.
they are really badly setup and the guys in the guitar shop couldnt get them going either but man that neck. even as a noob you can tell how easy it is to flow over it
really enjoyed this review, good job!
Wow, impressed! Great sound!
Nice Surfcaster behind you. I own one with a cherry quilt top. Picked up new in the mid 90s.
Love your vids. Keep on keepin’ on Brotha.
Cool Strat, it's a big improvement over the Standard Stratocaster.
Nothing sweeter than a Shinny Red Guitar.
Jo Bckts John Frusciante agrees
One 2018 Player Review showed full size CTs pots. Full foil shield on the pickguard and full paint shield in the cavity. Glad you mentioned the neck profile - I have a Pro Strat. I have a new Chinese Contemporary Squire Strat, very nice guitars for the money; if you can find/get one with a straight neck....Very Nice (Jumbo) Fret work for the $349.00 price range.
just something you may know but didnt point out in the vid, is that the neck tone is actually now for neck and middle and what was the middle tone is now for the bridge... just letting you know in case you didnt cos you gotta know your gear ;)
I love how you're wearing a PRS hat, a Fender shirt, and playing a Fender Strat
Good job Phil, I like these guitars !
Sounds amazing. Amp probably helps a little bit. But will definitely look for a set of the pu's on the second market as people pull them to 'upgrade'.
Already bought a player strat and tele....love them both. Changed the tuners to staggered locking and tusk nut.....put a SH4 in the strat bridge....Blows my American strat in the weeds...because of price. I also have 5 prs SE's single cut with good electronics, new bridges and Earvana nuts....CRAZY awesome axes Love them all! The band I'm in loves the sound of them all and the other guitarists had played all of them. Don't have a ton of money in any of them (the players are new..the rest are craiglist specials I got for nothin) and they are all great axes. By the way..I also have a Jdram Warrior Isabella I traded for....guy had no idea what he had and neither did I until I researched it...frikin $6k guitar and it's AWESOME....can't take it to gigs....would cry for a year if it got boosted....
i just got one the exact same color and fret board and its amazing
Hi Phil! When you do your full review, I’m curious to see if the new alnico pickups are as hot as the old ceramics. They sound great so far! Maybe take a reading on your ohmmeter? I’m also curious if they routed the body for two humbuckers since there is an HSH model available. The new trem should work great with a set of locking tuners! Thanks for all you do!
Sounds great. Way better than the standards. I actually wish they were still 21 frets, but more people would want 22. I'm hoping they sell the pickups cheap so I can throw them in my standard.
A very nice good looking guitar sweet pick ups, great contour body shape, good balance great finished and sound of course fantastic
I knew you were going to say, "Right off the bat."!
Two new Strats in one week! Very cool. I was able to noodle around on one of these at Sam Ash. It felt and sounded good. Just from everything I've read and seen, I think Fender made enough upgrades to justify the price increase. Gibson should take note on how to appeal to the bedroom/non professional player.
I bought one of these jaguars. Amazing guitars
I just purchased a black on black players series. WOW. it really does feel like my American professional strat. I traded it away and regretted it. I’ve owned a number of strats and teles over the last 2 years and this one out of the box is exactly what’s missing. Pickups were great. Neck is perfect.
This is a great deal feels and plays better than my American special tele
That bridge pickup sounds amazing. I'm usually not a fan of a strat bridge pickup and rarely ever use it because it's to thin and chimey. I can't wait for the full review.
Richard Cory that was my thought as well. I played an American elite strat and to my ear the player series bridge pickups sound better
Hey Phil, are you going to have a closer look at a Modern Player Series Tele by any chance? Or is it only the Strat you're reviewing?
I would expect the action to be a bit high. Anything out of box needs a serious setup. Yes, the pick ups have been upgraded and they sound great!
Fire it up mate! Nice playing!
Sounds good for chhhh chugging..and bluesing..may buy one.
Great video bro! Guitar sounds great!
Looking forward to the full review. It looks very promising or should I say it SOUNDS very promising. Lets hear it through several different kinds of amps please.
I've played 50s, 60s, 70s 80s etc etc Strats over the many years I've been playing guitar. I wish I still owned some of the older ones simply for the ridiculous price they now command! But as to playability and tone? I currently gig with a '98 MIM and am completely happy with it...
Love that Video demo Guitar New Fender Players Series
You said you liked the bridge pickup. but I really enjoyed the neck one! Full, almost spacey, yet a lil bit spanky. My description certainly sucks, but the sound is great!
Had the opportunity to try a maple neck player last week. It sounded great.
I am thinking to buy my first Fender lefthanded...been playing about 30years . That sounds awesome. I am looking that "fender tone".
I own a 2017 American professional telecaster butterscotch black guard .
Wood and laqcuer / finish quality
Orientation of the maple neck (quartersawn etc)
Its probably me. But that fender has some Mojo that made my eyebrows lift. Sounded great with that amp!
A few days ago I had it sent from a site, the package arrived with the word Fender, I opened it and inside I found a second package with the word Squier! I was scared to death, I thought the Squier had sent me instead of the Player, thank goodness that the Player was inside the package!
However, this guitar is spectacular, for the price it has! Very comfortable action, it does not lose the tuning even with a lot of bendings, it has a faithfully Stratocaster and bright sound, it has a shielded pickguard so zero hums near the amplifier, decent potentiometers. It is really worth buying it, if you want a Stratocaster but without spending too much money!
Incredible sound
Hello Phillip, Thank You for sharing an informative video on Fender Player series. I recently got a new fender Mexican player strat Maple with SSS Config. This is the first time I am experiencing a fender instrument. I am quite delighted to have it and ordered it online from a well-reputed site. I have a quick query. I am a bit concerned about the instrument I got and here is my observation regarding its Volume management. I feel that it sounds low on volume. At volume, 1-3 it's barely audible, 4-5 a little audible between 6-7 it's satisfactory and at 9-10 it gives a considerable output. I am connecting my guitar with amp directly. My amp is Marshall 15CD Series 45 Watts. If I plug my old strat Aria STG series at 3-4 it gives the output what Fender gives at 8-10. The bottom line is if i have to play for practice it has to be between 6-7 minimum or 8-10 while playing along with backing tracks. I wanted to know this is the nature of a fender product/pickups or something else is wrong with my new guitar. Is it because of low output Alnico pickups or defect of some sort. I would appreciate if you can please advise.
Hi Phillip, Love Your channel... I was wondering if You could review The Player"s Series Telecaster, and if You could do an A/B comparison between The Mexican Standard series and The new Player's Series.
Thanks, Johnny
Hey Phil! When you do the full review could you add in the HSS configuration Pease! That would be awesome.
Hi Phil you review are always the TOP, I've a question for you, I would like to buy this strat but I have to choose between SSS or HSS and I don't know wich one it's better, Suggestions? I already have a Gibson Les Paul Traditional, one Stratocaster Classi Series 50 and one American Standard, thanks
I'd love one in sage green but with a maple board but the red and sage have horrible ferro boards. Neck feels wider, block saddles be much better on the bridge. Good honest review.
You opened the box with a switchblade, that’s awesome!
I have always disliked that color red. It is just too in the middle. Not dark, not bright. And it looks cheap. Maybe that’s just me.
no, i totally agree, this color looks cheap, i like the candy apple red a lot better
Elateditse Cistryth funny, I always hated Candy Apple, but loved the Fiesta. Idk, just personal taste. But I always thought Candy Apple was cheap looking lol
Yeah this guitar looks cheap.. Maybe "tanning" the headstock and aging that very white pickguard will make it more expensive looking.
It almost looks faded
I agree. Not a good red. That strat looks like it’s been dipped in a bowl of tomato soup.
Thanks from Brazil. São Paulo !
Well sounds great to me. I think with a proper set up and some love you can get a awesome guitar for a small price.
wow u made me change my mknd ln red strats they actually look good
Looks fiesta Red. Love the colour
Sounds good to me
Hey Phil, long time follower. Is the 2 point tremolo the same as on the USA models?
Thanks a million for all the time you put in for the reviews!!
Don't miss the spring for the tremolo!
Now I'm fucking mad..
I've been playing guitar for 16 years and since day 1 I've always wanted a Mark Knopfler red strat, but I've never been able to buy or couldn't afford his signature guitar. And Fender has since not put out any red ones like that.
Not at least to my knowledge.
And now when I'm finally finishing up my partscaster in a similar red.. this baby pops out for such a low price.. -_-
Granted it's not Hot Rod Red but fuck it, it looks really beautiful!
I see you have your Rock Crusher attenuation set pretty high, which means you crank that PRS amp. I do the same with my Engl Powerball 100 and what a difference it makes to have the valves cooking!!
I've bought 2 brand new Fenders. A Jim Root Tele 2013 and a 2017 Profesional Strat.....
I never received a sticker with either ! I got a bit of a thing for stickers XD
Thought I heard somewhere that these have a tone control for the bridge pickup now...about time heh, heh! 🎸✌🏻
Respect for opening the box with a switchblade
That sounds good!
ooopppsss i left with out liking video.I like you demoes you get to the point and you are honest.
Dude nice, did u get the PJ bass by chance, either way I'm in love with this series of fenders.im gonna get one guitar and 1 bass for sure
PHILS PACKIN A SWITCH BLADE! LOL!
The main thing I like about them is the two point trem.
I’m glad they went with the spaghetti logo on these. I was never a fan of the logo they had on the later MIM standards. Good call on the Dakota red
bridge looks like my squier standard with vintage style saddles and my squier also has Alnico pickups which makes me wonder how much foreign product can a guitar contain and still be branded as mexican made.
