I
Tele
IvanLeg 25.11.2021
It was my firtst experience with a tele, it was a challenge for me because I was mostly playing with the strat. The sound is great clear and warmer than the strat. I had only some issues with the tone knob cause it wasn’t really accurate and it gets out of tune after a 2 hour of playin. I’m considering putting some locking tuners. Totally a pretty good experience

A good Telecaster
Jonathan85 28.09.2020
The guitar came with a good setup :
-The relief was almost spot on, the nut is good enough for me not to touch it. All I did was to lower the bridge string height a little.
-The fretwork is very nice for a Mexican. Maybe this finish has had more care than others ? I did get a Strat player and had to go through a couple before getting one with ok frets... (not sharp)
There's an odd black line on the side which doesn't belong to the wood grain but other than that it looks nice.

Biggest complaint common to ALL Left Mexican Fenders (strat and tele at least) are the pots wiring... why do they mirror the right hand diagram is beyond me... Would it be anti log pots it would've worked but here it just doesn't. You have an on/off volume/tone control because of this until you rewire the pots. Such an obvious error always baffles me.

The pickups are nice and very crisp the cover I think is nickel and not brass like previous MIM, a nice improvement. They are hotter than my Strat player. Fairly light too.

Overall a good guitar, I'm pleased with it but I shouldn't have to rewire the pots for them to be of any use other than on/off.

Ps: On the Strat it had a nice big red 223j tone capacitor, here on the tele is one of those tiny orange button you can find in toys... shouldn't change anything on the sound quality but It's a little disappointing discovery when the tele and the strat are the same price for a much simpler instrument...

Fender player telecaster
Nikk V 11.02.2022
My Fender player Telecaster LH gives static noises when I touch the pickguard. I noticed via internet that other people suffered the same problem. The solution was replacing the pickguard and yes, the crackling noises disappeared. Made a sound demo but Thomann wanted me to return the guitar for this minor problem, because Fender ordered this. So I had to find new packing material, go to UPS, lost the guitar for a couple of weeks and all of that for a replace pickguard. I refused that and that's the end of my little adventure. I'm disappointed in the bureaucratic and customer unfriendly solution of Thomann. I go back to the physical shops to buy my next guitar.

Eine faire Gitarre
Trämper 15.02.2020
Jetzt hier was über das Für und Wieder Telecaster zu schreiben, spar ich mir.
Also fang ich gleich mit der Verarbeitung an. Hier muss ich feststellen, für eine Linkshänder ist das Teil prima verarbeitet und gut eingestellt. Mit der Player Serie hat Fender tatsächlich bei der Mexicos zugelegt. Ich konnte mal eine der Vorgänger Serie aus Mexico antesten, die hatte in Sachen Verarbeitung schon einige Defizite.
Die Player Tele ist out off the Box spielbar, der Hals ist sehr spärlich lackiert und richtig griffig. Die Saitenlage ist spielbar eingestellt, die Intonation hat gepasst.
Dir Pickups klingen gut, was letztendlich aber Geschmacksache ist. Auch das Eigenrauschen hält sich bis zur einer gewissen Lautstärke in Grenzen.
Die Lackierung ist fast fehlerfrei. Auf der Rückseite meiner Tele ist ein winzig kleiner Lackfehler. So what.
Allerdings ist die Gitarre im ganzen etwas Dunkler als auf den Website Bildern.
Die Mechaniken sind stimmstabil, mittlerweile hab ich aber Fender Locking Tuner verbaut (Problemloser Umbau in15 min.).
Das einzige Ärgernis ist die Kappe vom Schalter. Hier sollte man sich tatsächlich Ersatzkappen besorgen. Mittlerweile sichere ich sie mit einen Tropfen Sekundenkleber. Eine zeitlang hält das dann.
Die Potis laufen sahnig und kratzfrei. Der Regelweg beim Ton ist halt typisch Fender. 80% passiert nix.

Wer mit dem Manko einer MEXICO leben kann, kann die Player bedenkenlos kaufen. "Günstiger" kommt man nicht an ein "Original". Aus meiner Sicht würde ich auch nicht mehr ausgeben.
