@@officialWWM For me and most others Pao Ferro is way to light colored, just don't like the looks. But have seen a few that are dark, but over all not a fan of it. Rosewood is the traditional way to go and Fender realized that and went back to using it.
@@officialWWM No, its not ridiculous. Ask any guitar player and I'm sure 90% or more would choose Rosewood over Pao Ferro, in fact you might be the first that I've heard that prefers Pao Ferro. So you might be the ridiculous one. 🙂
@@scottsodyssey2485 why? Because I couldn’t care less how dark the wood is? If you look at Pao Ferro, it has a much nicer grain with black streaks through it. In my humble opinion, it’s lots more attractive than boring old Rosewood!
I got the lefty version in polar white with rosewood fretboard. Everything felt high-quality, sounded great, and even the action was set nicely. I only had to tinker a bit with intonation. Most sites have a 10% off deal right now, that's what enticed me, but I'm very glad I pulled the trigger.
This ax looks nice and sounds nice too but I fancy a maple neck for a change. I was just looking at the other Tele player with the maple neck Looks and sounded really nice. must say surprised because I normally prefer rosewood but I think ill try these 2 out nice guitars👍
I was so hopeful that these guitars would sort out the Player series but turns out the quality is poor as it ever was. The fretboards aren’t really rolled, barely even finished. Fender need to just remove the Mexico range entirely in my opinion and the Performer should be the entry level Fender. Squier are generally better than Fender MIM. They sound good though.
@ CosmicBrain21 the issue with the Mexico plant is retention. The more experienced workers are fired as their skill demands higher pay and low/ no skilled workers are then hired in droves. Once the new people gain experience the process is repeated. Unfortunately this purposeful business practice is profitable and thus unlikely to change.
My whatever its called H. Yellow HH player ii tele with maple necks all kinds of janked out the box... missing paperwork and allen keys.... frets unlevel and covered in lacquer.... miscut nut covered in overspray.... high e hangin off the fingerboard... paint scuffed near controlls.... a questionable neck pocket/future crack... loose neck... barely set up.... saddles extremely high, and a bent intonation screw. Good times.... Hurry up and get yourself one....
Sounds great. Happy to see Fender went back to rosewood fretboards. I'm really digging this Birch Green color.
Why? I have the previous model with the Pao Ferro board and I love it. It has a much more interesting grain.

@@scottsodyssey2485 lol, that’s ridiculous. Pao Ferro used to be offered as an exotic option on custom shop models!

This new series will be hugely successful for Fender. I have no doubt about that.
Amazing playing, as usual! 😊
And amazing Tele too. I like this color…
Thanks again Brett!
Lovely playing.
HEY BRETT, yesterday I completed my DVK pedal collection. Took awhile but I did it
That bridge pickup with some gain onboard is the only sound I ever need!
Really Great Job Man 🎸🎶🎸
Are those flat wound strings?
Brett 👍
This ax looks nice and sounds nice too

Hows the fret work and nut slots....low action or high action ? Thanks !
Factory setup was very good right out of the box. I was pleasantly surprised.
@@BrettKingman thank you Brett, good to know ! 👍
Is that green a darker surf green in person? It seems to change in the different lights.
Birch Green. It is a little darker than Surf Green.
It's nearly a light olive drab.
This is the most American Brit I’ve ever seen 😂
Nope, I'm Australian.
No belly cut? Oh man, deal breaker.
It‘s only for slim guys. So, not for you.😂😂😂😂
A solid slab. The way it should be. Yeah!
