I've bought this for my daughter for Christmas. She's really taken to her acoustic and I think she's going to be great. It was expensive, but it'll be her first electric and my hope is that she cherishes it after I'm gone and knows that dad really pushed he boat out for her.
@@tonymediati8274 I would buy it blindly. I've not owned many guitars, but I've tried and played a few. This one fit the best out of them all. The lead tone is very clean and smooth.
@@satishdass7460 really liking this model ,how is the weight , obviously less wait than the LP but still hefty tho , do the humbuckers have bite , enough to play hard rock / metal?
@@tonymediati8274 The weight is absolutely perfect. It's not heavy at all. I play mostly metal and rock and you can get an amazing chuggy bright yet warm tone out of this (the humbuckers split). The neck feels very easy to play and the fret edges are rounded. You'll find yourself playing this guitar more than others. I'm thinking of buying a second one in another colour and different fretboard wood.
@@diddymies Good! It has a lot of fret sprout (more than my 6x cheaper Squier lmao) but that's easy to fix. It sounds incredible and plays really well, and I'm very happy with it!
@@Karunaaa The fret sprout sounds like it wasn't stored in optimal conditions at the shop so the wood got dry. Happens in Winter, not a QC issue. Great guitar though.
I'm not sure either, admittedly I've not been to the Shop for a year or so but yeah, he wasn't no the staff the last time I was there... Sorry I couldn't help but I'm sure the staff will be able to help you out, if you want info...
Brandon Jones I want to get tele player too but can’t decide beetween humbucker and single coil man. I think that humbucker tele is more versatile guitar but again nothing can replace a good old single coil tele. Can anybody tell a bit more about them to help me?
i dont even play and bought a Mexican player series HH mine has rosewood neck, i bought it from japan, steve in Australia. just bought a brand new set of lolar imperials for it.
@@ThePerfectLizrd Yes you get the split coil function, but if you want that single coil clarity you should check a traditional tele pickup equipped guitar. They do sound different, as they have different pot values and electronics.
I'm very interested in this guitar but I'm a person who plays a lot standing up. I have searched in internet and have no found exact data about the weigth. Can someone tell me how much this guitar weighs exactly?
Agreed. This Tidepool isn’t hideous, but wish they offered them in the same colors as all their strats. It’s like these are an after thought or something.
I bought one of this amazing guitar, but the pickups are not the best option, those pickups doesn't handle the distortion very well on high volumes like on stage, a lot of feedback.
Sorry - noob here. What does the MN stand for / signify? I don't see this on the website and I see some listed for sale without MN in the description. Thanks
Got to say that, I'm a Metalhead.. right... I know it's not fashionable for us to like Fender and honestly, I feel they are a brand that lives in Nostalgia-Land, they haven't done a new design since the Music-Man. Anyways, the point is, my first Guitar, over a decade ago... was a Tele-Style Guitar, in Black and White, so I have to say that I love these Guitars but when it comes to these Guitars, I'm not sure about the Twin-Humbucking Models, including this one. I am a traditionalist, so it makes hard, nice looking Guitar but I do feel like the original style is how it should look... it's a confusing thing.. On the whole Strat thing, I feel like it's out-dated... and honestly should be ended as a Model, they try to update it but at what point is it cheaper to buy a 'Super-Strat'.... Anyways, sorry for my long comment... but I had to say something... Thanks for the cool Video.. also, the Lad that's done the Video, as said by the other person, he's talented and, not having to deal with People talking, it's like 'MXR'... no talking, just On-Screen Information, best way to do stuff...so yeah, thanks again. Take it easy. Regards, Kristian Simpson.
this guitar looks and most importantly sounds great. i'm sure it feels right too. fenders have never been about a strict configuration (and honestly gibsons neither). tele-pauls have been existing for ages. what would you rather have? a cheesy looking PRS or an edgelord pointy metal guitar with 10 strings? not me or many other folks. some designs are timeless. metal guitars are not.
That has to be one of the silliest guitar rants ever. Teles and Strats are in the top three most popular, most copied, most iconic guitars of all time. Fender should end their production because a small niche of Metal guitarists prefer to go "chugga-chugga" on hideous pointy guitars painted with cliche death imagery? ☠️ Um, no. Hard pass. 😂
"Fender hasn't done a new model since the music-man" Not only is that an Ernie ball, but also Fender released the Meteora, Powercaster, Sixty-Six in the last year which are all new. I own this Tele and not only does it sound great, it also feels good. Fender won't stop producing famous models for some edgelord who wants metal guitars
Yee Haw 😂😂I honestly think those type of guitarists make it embarrassing to admit being a guitarist to anyone cuz they automatically assume you’re one of them, with their black crosses and pointy Ibanezes that you could cut yourself on if you touch it too hard. Long hair and look like they’re a stranger to soap. I’m surprised the edge lord thing hasn’t died down, I mean it’s clichéd and embarrassing, cheesy and pretty outdated.

This for a first guitar? Dude imma just come out and say that you are a great dad man.
Dad of the year award
Is she still playing?
It’s so cute🥺🥺🥺
I hope she's still playing and wow you are a great dad.
A tele with humbuckers is essentially a perfect guitar. No tuning issues, simple format, great tone
And these can be split to single coils if you want to.
@@MrRwk314 is there a switch? a push push?
riccardo maestri yes, you can pull the tone knob
How about the finishing?
Not to mention no 60 cycle hum
The guitar is fantastic... But can we acknowledge the man playing it? What fingers. What tasteful playing!
Great skill!
Best demo I’ve heard of this tele yet!!
This is the best guitar I've ever owned. My les paul standard was awesome too but too heavy and bulky. This guitar is perfect.
Same , just sold my standard 60s, way to heavy, that’s why I’m looking at this model.
@@tonymediati8274 I would buy it blindly. I've not owned many guitars, but I've tried and played a few. This one fit the best out of them all. The lead tone is very clean and smooth.

@@satishdass7460 thanks for the info , really helped me decide👍
John 5 brought me here. Knew his music for years just now feel in love with teles and after seeing him live
Ordered one of those as my first ''real'' guitar, can't wait until it arrives!
how is it
@@diddymies Good! It has a lot of fret sprout (more than my 6x cheaper Squier lmao) but that's easy to fix. It sounds incredible and plays really well, and I'm very happy with it!
Karuna what is fret spour? And how much the price?
@@Karunaaa The fret sprout sounds like it wasn't stored in optimal conditions at the shop so the wood got dry. Happens in Winter, not a QC issue. Great guitar though.
Thank you for showing all sides of it best demo yet
Really grateful for these videos - not sure who this person is but he's great! Thank you.
I'm not sure either, admittedly I've not been to the Shop for a year or so but yeah, he wasn't no the staff the last time I was there...
Sorry I couldn't help but I'm sure the staff will be able to help you out, if you want info...
this dude plays guitar in a band called Land Sharks, check it out man!
I love this. Thanks for doing this demo. I think I’m going to buy the silver one with the pau fero neck.
Just purchased one of these from eBay. Roll on Thursday. Can't wait
Just ordered one online myself today,yew
Can someone tell me how much the guitar weighs exactly? I am a person who plays a lot standing up. Thanks
Очень звук понравился мне. особенно на перегрузе
A tele with HH coil tap? I'm 87% sold. If it came with a tele deluxe 72 style neck i'd be all in!
That’s the only thing breaking my heart right now! That fat 70’s Strat headstock.
Eww
Ken B get yourself a warmoth neck and you’re all set
Nice crankage, homes. Too often these demos just want to try to shred.
Thinking of getting this as my first ever electric. Been playing acoustic for a while now. What do you guys think?
I would say get it, Beautiful from the inside and out!
I’m in the same boat and thinking the same thing.
@@brandondjones i got it about a week after this comment and I absolutely love it! I would definitely recommend it
Brandon Jones I want to get tele player too but can’t decide beetween humbucker and single coil man. I think that humbucker tele is more versatile guitar but again nothing can replace a good old single coil tele. Can anybody tell a bit more about them to help me?
@@simuncovic4170 the humbucker one has a coil split so you can get the humbucker tones while also being really close to the single coil tones!
Wow it still has those sparkling highs
i dont even play and bought a Mexican player series HH mine has rosewood neck, i bought it from japan, steve in Australia.
just bought a brand new set of lolar imperials for it.
what a great demo!
Damn, that is a nice looking and sounding guitar.
I just got This exact one !!!
How is it?
Excellent demo!!!
i think i just fell in love..
Name me a more versatile guitar... I'll wait.
CH ̣ Nope I have the PRS and the time is no where near as versatile. I can’t argue with build quality
@@wengjai Maybe a Ibanez AZ would fit. If comes with 9 kinds of PU combination.
Any JP music man
Literally any super strat
a 7 string version of this tele?
Here a question to the Tele-Lovers, has this guitar enough "TWANG"?
Nice demo !!!
Does it have coil tap function??
Yes it does
Yes
It has a coil split, not coil tap.
@@valiata so it can basically play like a normal tele if you want it to? Sorry I'm new to guitars trying to learn this stuff
@@ThePerfectLizrd Yes you get the split coil function, but if you want that single coil clarity you should check a traditional tele pickup equipped guitar. They do sound different, as they have different pot values and electronics.
I'm very interested in this guitar but I'm a person who plays a lot standing up. I have searched in internet and have no found exact data about the weigth.
Can someone tell me how much this guitar weighs exactly?
3,6 kgr
I just wish the colours weren't so boring on these
Agreed. This Tidepool isn’t hideous, but wish they offered them in the same colors as all their strats. It’s like these are an after thought or something.
nice. But what is the difference between MN, HH, and PF??
MN = maple neck, HH = 2x Humbucker, PF = Pao Fero fretboard.
Are the fenders your order from gear4music the same ones you’d get if you ordered at the official fender store?
yup
Does the back have a cutaway? I thought I saw that to make it more comfortable sitting down...
Yes it does :)
Another advantage of the Player HH, proper body contours.
this makes my heart hurt....how could you not want that?...…...a lot....an awful awful lot
Just bought it yesterday and I’m waiting for it to be shipped to guitar center. I’m really excited for it.
I bought the Silverburst with the Pau Ferro fretboard. Just waiting on it to be shipped.
@@ericstoecker2096 hey how are you liking it so far?
👍🔥🎸🦅
Good job fender player HH, but i would buy Squier tele contemporary :))
I bought one of this amazing guitar, but the pickups are not the best option, those pickups doesn't handle the distortion very well on high volumes like on stage, a lot of feedback.
hmmm .. I dont got any problems.
can you get a les paul sound with this guitar?
no
On Fender's website the coiltap feature is nowhere to be found....what gives?!?!?!?!
look at the electronics section in the specs
Why does this guitar get a bad rap sometimes? Great value. Artek pickups not the best but do the job especially for price.
Sorry - noob here. What does the MN stand for / signify? I don't see this on the website and I see some listed for sale without MN in the description. Thanks
Maple
Mexican
Mandarin
MN is maple neck .
@@gryshakov lol
great demo! in lieu of a 10 lb. Les Paul....
It's a Mexican Fender?
Yes
I'd love a tremolo system on this
No, let's not destroy this guitar.
Buy a strat
Glad to see that poop colored pau ferro is not used on the fretboard
Put a little more stank on it next time...
Any rich guy want to buy me this exact guitar?
