Sweet vid! I'm in love with the Hialeah Yellow and Birch Green. The White Blonde is pretty sweet too. I'm getting the Hialeah Yellow Jag ❤

The best Fender Player II guitar is the Fender Player Series that will now sell for $499 on Reverb and the Classic Vibes for $300. It's a buyer's market for used gear.

@@TheMcstevester Indeed. That is a wonderful appointment. I've got a Fiesta Red Player Plus with a mint pick guard. I got it on sale at Guitar Center for $900. They're originally over a grand I believe. It was in mint condition. Whoever owned it must've not had it long, because it was a previously owned model. It's got the rolled edges, locking tuners, 12" radius and the noiseless pickups. It plays beautifully! I wanted a Strat with the noiseless pickups, but unfortunately, I don't care for them. They're kinda lifeless and soulless. They've kinda got that Strat sound, but not quite. The humbucker in it is fairly decent.

Can you get these in buttercream like the Player series.

So, there are supposed to be new pickups in the player 2 Teles compared to the player Tele? What is the difference? Is this good or bad? Thanks

Roll edges easy to do and add locking tuners on player series 1 job done brilliant guitar love mine will not need series 2

Have you got a PRS SE NF3 yet?

I just got an e-mail for these. I already have an MIJ 60s Strat and an Oxblood Telecaster, so I'm not really in the market for either (and I mostly stick with shorter scales), but that Birch Green, Hialeah Yellow, and Coral Red are nice. Life's good if you're into Stratocasters or Telecasters. It's just too bad we still have to go to Fender Japan if we want any cool Mustangs, Jaguars (I know they have Player II Jaguars, but I don't want that goofy, simplified control switching), or Cyclones, though.

I've got a Squier Classic Vibe 50s Tele in that blonde color you like. Cost me $350. Modded it so that the only thing original is the neck, the body and the bridge (not the saddles though). That thing is perfect, and it's still cheaper than one of those new.

The Jazzmaster!!! anything else can be thrown away.

Last month I found a mint '21 player Strat for $270. Firewood now, I guess. Oh well.

They actually upgraded stuff. Nice.

I like the new colors and chambered bodies are good too. Welcome back Rosewood! We missed you! ❤️

My first tele was also a 2004 Standard!

I have a Player Strat HSS. Very good guitar, planning on keeping it.

These look class

Ah dang and I just added a rhythm circuit and Fralin pickups to my CME Jazzmaster. Time to pitch it!

I like the changes, only thing left to loose is the neck heel block.

That Cherryburst Tele. Gorgeous.

I kinda like that birch green... Might pick up a mustang or jag in that color... then again, I might not...

Points for bringing back Rosewood but minus points for not calling it “Player Series: Electric Boogaloo”

My small local shop in Vancouver already has 19 various Player II models in stock where L&M won't get many of them till October, apparently. That Aquatone Blue is like an eggshell blue, a slightly deeper Daphne, not as dark as Lake Placid. I like pau ferro, it's a smooth fast fretboard, with a dense grain like ebony. I guess they dropped the Lead II and III, fun guitars but not too popular.

HH teles look good, but would like more color/fretboard options

I really like that new yellow, it looks like an aged blond. Still, I'll stick with my buttercream. One of the best colors Fender has ever put out.

I'm digging the return of the rosewood option and classic gear tuners. Not super thrilled about the colors. If I had to choose I'd go sunburst strat and blonde Tele. I wonder if they'll release a duo sonic?

the jazzmaster is literally calling my name

Nice to see rosewood boards. The Jazzmaster interests me. If only it came in actual Daphne blue........

"fake animals" LOL

I do not need any more guitars, but we all know how that goes. If this Jazzmaster had a rhythm circuit it would be an insta-buy for me, probably in sunburst. For a JM I may stick to my plan of the CME walnut Squier CV. From this series I think I want the birch green Tele. It looks retro in a "Nana's fridge from the 80's" way. I already have a Player 1 Tele, Strat, and Duo-Sonic along with my first guitar, an old 1992 MIM Strat.

Part 3 is always the way to to. Like the movies: Spider-Man 3, Godfather part 3, Blade Trinity

I personally like the Jazzmaster and Jaguar, but the Player II versions are missing the Rhythm Circuit on the Jazzmaster and the Jaguar and the three separate switches on the Jaguar... The rosewood boards and upgraded tuners are a good step, but the omission of the rhythm circuit and switches is a deal breaker - I would opt for the Vintera II. granted the Vintera II is approx. 30% more $$, but it's just a pipe dream for me... Great Vids! Keep up the good work

Rosewood is a welcome change. A lot of features trickle down from the equivalent usa models though. i am curious what will they offer in the next pro III or w.e to differentiate since rosewood/vintage look/rolled edges are also in the mexican models now.

I generally concur w/ your preferences.

It's interesting what they did. I would say I am more inclined to purchase a Tele or strat next sweetwater run but I would find time to see more reviews on the new Player II Before anything

900 bucks for a player Tele?! The cheapest Fender series?!! Shut the front door! The rolled fingerboards edges seem really cool tho lol

22 frets!!! I am so happy!!!!!!!!

Price hike series II

They made a 16 minute video just talking about regular guitar features like rolled frets, a bridge you don’t have to adjust every time you play, and cool car colors.

I was eyeing on an MIJ hybrid 2, but I just have to say the player 2 is seriously challenging that decision

The 2 series is alright, and honestly the jazzmaster in green looks really nice. Nothing wrong with a striped down jazzmaster, It's a cheaper American Performer made in Mexico :D! The pick ups are the same from player 1, at least from the description on the fender website (Player 1 stuff is still there so...)

Hell yea yellow!

Seems a shame they’ve gone with the six saddle bridge on the Teles. A bit like putting humbuckers on a Jazzmaster.

Snapped up one of the new Teles. Got the green one with rosewood board. Been waiting for something different and that color did it for me. I’ll probably change out the bridge and saddles but it should be a nice upgrade platform.

Very well

Pau ferro was boutique until they started to offer it on the MIMs. Maybe now it will go back to where it belongs, the custom shop, for people with bad taste like SRV.

Pretty cool

Buy a used American standard from 90s or 2000, same cost, and you’ll have American made version of the same thing with a case.

PLEASE do a 3 way comparison of the new Fender Player II Tele, your Dark Night American Player, and your honeyburst American Performer.

Wonder how the player II tele fares against the hybrid II? Also I actually love the look of the strat in fiesta red. With those aged pickups too? Perfection.

Nah, just bought my player 1 a month and a half ago for like $679.00 it was a great deal. I do like the vintage style locking tuners tho. I put a set of Gotohs on my HB telecaster. They’re great. But I bet they require the smaller type hole vs what’s on the player 1’s. It’s all pretty close shizzz on these. Not enough to get rid of a player 1.

Sorry but I'm not really excited about the color selection. Plenty of colors to choose from but none really speak to me. That's kind of a bummer.

Not digging most of the new colors. The supposed vintage colors aren't the standard vintage colors you'd expect like surf green, seafood green, sonic blue, shell pink, two tone sunburst, Daphne yellow, etc. That birch green looks like baby shit.

I like the Mary Kaye white.

This is why I'm weirdly happy about being a southpaw. I never really experience the same kind of FOMO since, when I began, the only guitar in the entire tristate was a laminate Samick. I've got a small body Gibson acoustic now so my biggest "problem" is a 19 fret neck 😂.
