Yes i did Geoff . Thankyou . It has a Polyester finish high gloss, pictures don't do it justice. After trying many Fender Teles, finally found one that has humbucker tones. This is what i have to say about it.



So here is some pics. My new Players Plus. I have been waiting 10 plus years now, for what i would say a very good matchup for me, from Fender. Not saying anything wrong here about some of you guys who prefer, what i call old style Tele's.

I have been wanting a Tele that had single coils, but could also get those humbucker tones, and warmer tones as well. And no hum in the pickups. Well i have to tell you i finally have one in my possession! I played this guitar for 1 hour at my local shop last week, and i was impressed with the looks, the quality to detail and of course playability, so much for the next 4 days that's all i could think about was that ax.

So i decided to go back and play it for another hour, using a different amp than previous. Well i just had to bring her home! I can tell you it has some twang, if that's what you like. For me i am a majority all out Classic Rock guy. This guitar has punch so much it will come at you and slap you in the face , faster than Clint Eastwood can claw back the hammer on his 44 magnum.

Grit it has so for you diggers, its got it. Does it have dirt you say, heck YAA! Twice as hard by the Black Crow's, it just rocked it. Comfortable is a must for me. Weight wise 8LBS just like my Custom, a beautiful weight for a Tele, no nose diving. And although i have a slim build, i like a body cut, which my Starts and Tele's have.

And so darn comfortable when i stand or sit especially, Its like Jed Clampett sitting in his rocker chair. Playability wise it is very very good, quality wise, no flaws. I like my guitars to be purdy, but i expect them to play as good as they look. Some might disagree with me and that's fine, but i am happy Fender finally came out of the woods, and built this guitar. They built a modern Tele, and for us old rocker guys at age 70 or beyond this is a welcome edition to the Fender lineup. Thank GOODNESS, its finally arrived! Well done Fender.

They have moved up the ladder as far as i concerned. When you pull out that push / pull knob LOOKOUT! its a beast! The tones you can get overall are incredible. This is a rock'n'roll machine. Well if you haven't guessed by now , i like it, what else can i say.

Locking tuners, the bridge is comfortable can rest the palm of you hand, great for muting, noiseless pickups, none of that annoying humming. Well ok i just wrote a novel. Here

What I like from Player Plus MIM What I don't like after playing this guitar American Performer


1. 9.5 radius
2. Brass barrel saddles, not as good for palm muting, and find them ugly, intonationcanbeaproblem

4. Price tag, Player Plus has more bang for the buck, all the way around IMHO, and $300
less.

2. I always prefer 12' radius.
3. Smooth rolled edges on fretboard.
4. Noiseless pickups.
5. Both pickups wired in series, push pull tone control.
6. Well made guitar flawless.
7. Tone of pickups
8 . A more updated modern version.
 
Jethro, as a Saskadude I always think maybe getting a guitar delivered up in Canada this time of year,
is a crap idea. I worry the finish of your top might suffer possible cracking due to cold temperatures.
Plus, in this case it's sure to probably fog up too.

for this one, probably let it acclimatize for a couple days inside the box before opening it

Here all year folks, try the special
