Great demo, Emily. As always, super helpful in letting me know about new stuff. Your perspective is one I appreciate. ✌️

Great video and great playing!

Nice demo. Thanks Emily.

Redwine Supernova was already stuck in my head, thanks. Lovely green colour, I always felt that green shades are never the right tone - too bright or dark, too blue or aqua

​@@GetOffsetI have a player strat and a silver sky SE. I hear the tele is more country and very similar but seemingly a bit thicker or beefier tone than the jingle bell strat sound. Is their much reason to justify one, if someone like me has two Stratocaster types. I do have a sheraton 335 and epiphone les paul classic too. I was possibly thinking of selling off one strat and maybe having a tele to replace it.

I like the aquatone blue and the white blonde, maybe the transparent cherry. I'd definitely prefer the rosewood.

I ordered that Tele immediately on release because of the color. LOL Happy to see you kept the Chrissie Hynde. I absolutely love my CH, especially the neck PU for jazz.

Reminds me of the Jade Green from a few years back. Nice video. Thanks 👍

As much as I like a completely classic Tele, I tend to find 6-saddle bridges much more comfortable. Thanks for the video!

Yeah, I can't complain about them for sure!

Seems like a really solid Tele. Those pickups sound great to me. I usually really prefer bright and snappy bridge pickups and on my main T I changed the stock MIJ pickup to something more trad bright but the guitar just died as a result, went from being my goto studio solution guitar to hardly being played at all and I reckon these are going to be just as versatile.

love to see a comparison like this, but with the new jazzmaster player ii against the vintera ii!

Emily did such a nice job of demonstrating this guitar and comparing the noiseless pickups to the standard tele ones. Fender has a real winner on it’s hands and what’s not to like about this guitar. It has great tone and desirable specs at a decent price point. I really like that new birch green color, which as Emily pointed out, gives the guitar a nice aged look.

That green looks better in the video than the pics on Sweetwater. I think the bridge pickup sounds good, but I'm more of a rocker than a country dude. I do enjoy some twang though.

Warm pickups! I love it!

Only halfway through this revealing vid (thanks for actually showing the SOUNDS without noodling getting in the way, as is the case with many reviewers), and I must say I‘m not enthused about that bridge sound. I crave a bit more brightness, especially since I tune all my guitars down to C# standard and use thicker gauge strings. Now I‘m wondering what kind of pickups they chose to use on the new Player II Jazzmaster….. Hopefully not another flavor of P90s.

@GetOffset

Yeah, I for sure think the bridge will be a little polarizing. Ultimately, I ended up liking it quite a bit and think it might make a Tele more of an option for folks who don't like how bright the bridge usually is, ya know?

@sagittated

I think they listened to the complaints and they're calling them Jazzmaster pickups. But now you have me wondering, too. Surely they're JMs. Gotta be.

The Chrissie Hynde bridge pup is sweet to my ears just what a Tele bridge ought to be. Player II bridge sounds too thin, clean. Sounds ok distorted, but then what pup doesn't. Neck pup sounds amazing clean, love it. Love that Birch Green, that would be my choice too.

@GetOffset

Thanks for watching! For the price, swapping in a different bridge one likes more seems like a fair trade. But I'm gonna keep it stock for awhile! When it leaked, folks weren't too into the Birch Green, but it's so good in person

I ❤ your playing....

Green is nice for tele and red or black is the one for strat

You got it!

I use the noise gate. That's how you get rid of the 60 cycle. Hum. I've never even heard it. It seems weird. Fender competing with itself. If there's squires they're getting better, why don't they just call them fenders. Are the machines different in Indonesia? Do the people of Indonesia not know how to make guitars compared to the people of Mexico and the USA because that's a bit ethnocentric. I got a squire telly I bought off of Amazon used. The only thing I could see that was wrong with it is it just wasn't set up as good as a nicer more expensive Fender. Otherwise in the right hands it sounds beautiful. I've heard the guy who set it up play all sorts of really nice jazz chords. Really nice tone. You know, sometimes it's not the guitar. It's the person playing it. I don't mean to be mean. But if I want to upgrade my ceramic pickups which work just fine I can. And the body is already routed out for humbuckers so I don't know. Squires a little bit more punk rock. Fender is establishment.

Then bridge pickup sounds fine to me. It's a $799 guitar vs essentially a $1600 guitar 🤷. I wouldn't expect the Player to sound like the one that's literally twice the price.

How do you like it?

I have all kinds of Teles from Harley Benton thru Custom Shop...all good....all good values. Q: What do you NEED....and want. Love my Squier Custom Vibes...but their QA is NOT MexTex level. Both CV and MexTex have inferior pups...I always upgrade pups. AIO TC4 was my most recent Tele acquisition...VERY impressive....but it too got better pups. Muddy neck pups is a common gripe on Teles...so, simply disconnect neck pup from tone pot to increase clarity and output. Great and simple mod.

I have a Schecter in birch green and its color is not remotely similar to that Fender. Birch green should have a yellowish tinge to it.

I really wish they would do this telecaster in a Sunburst with the rosewood fingerboard

I'm inclined to agree

I simply do not understand Fender.....there is virtually no difference between the standard Player series and this new new Player II series other than now the fretboards are rolled....and you can get them in both a rosewood (if you like rosewood) or a maple fretboard...STIll no bone nut. Personally, I cannot justify the $120 difference.

@JonadanandtheFreaks

Күн бұрын

I read there's no rosewood for the 1st edition

the reality is that no guitar is actually better than another, as long as the guitars themselves are of a similar quality/build, and both are set up correctly for the player to be comfortable when playing. Pitting one guitar against another servers only the marketing of some new product. The most important factor when comparing guitars is always the player not the instrument

That fretboard looks dyed
