Fender Player Series Tele MN TPL 5-stars Reviews

All the Tele that you need

Great value for money. The Player series provides a quality build and superb tele tone at a great price

Good looking and stable

the bad first: Poor quality control, if yours is subject to the same shoddy QC, then I hope it is only aesthetic. Be prepared to do a full set up on this Tele for it to play well (nut, intonation, action, truss rod, strings). Does not come with a bag...

The good: Beautiful and simple. Tuners are good and stable, the electronics are sharp, the neck is satisfying to play on, frets are OK. All in all, a reliable and beautiful Tele

Super nice Player series guitar

The neck is beautiful on this, maybe not perfect, but great - I still havent gotten it 100% fretbuzz free though after multiple trust rod twists. Probably just my amateurism. The only other downside with my copy are the neckpocket cracks - I ordered it during winter and it took at least 2 weeks to get to me and it came by land I think, so probably a lot of temperature changes during that period. All in all - a recommended guitar.

Amazing for its price & category

Amazing guitar. Excellent built. Amazing fretboard. This is a great mid-level/category guitar (i.e. squire < MN < US).

Beautiful guitar

This is my first electric guitar, but the overall quality is close to perfect, high-quality materials, sounds very good out of box , overall very happy with this Fender Telecaster.

A Brilliant Guitar

This guitar is such a brilliant guitar! I was looking to upgrade to a proper Fender guitar having only played a Fender Squire Strat before. The smooth neck makes it so much easier to play and the bonus of 22 frets is really nice! (My Squier had 21) The pick ups sound so much crisper and I especially love using the neck pick up for solos. The colour "Tidepool" is really pretty and I love the shiny finish! The smaller headstock is a nice feature and it doesn't feel like its weighing me down. I've used it at home and I have also taken it out busking so its well broken in. I would highly recommend it! (It's a good little geetar!)

Great Guitar

The first guitar i had was a tele copy in 1975. Since then i have never

had a Fender Tele until now, I love this guitar, I have Gibsons and Fender Strats but

I have to say this is one of the best guitars i have ever played.

Out of the box it is perfect. Cant fault it.

I was very thrilled to receive this guitar. It arrived nicely packed. The playability is stunning. It is my first electric and I enjoy playing it. And that's what matter most. Guitar needed just a tiny bit of adjusting (neck wasn't leveled with strings). For me this is entry level guitar that just suits me.

As tele as it should be

I have had a couple of tele's ranging from Harley bentons T52 (which i really liked but was heavy!) and a couple of previous incarnations of the mexican tele and a second hand USA one.

This is the keeper though, for me. The bridge sounds perfect, and the neck sounds great too although some may find it a little strat like. Its not too heavy the Mex in blonde i had was literally like having a blonde hang round your neck if you like that kind of thing its fine but it was just too heavy. the T52 was heavy but ok, the previous mex i had (lake placid blue) was lovely and i regret selling it but had to change the pickups, and the USA one had a pickup change and i dont regret it going at all.

So this is the only one i have brought that i dont intend to change anything all i will do is put some different string trees on and move it up to 10's from the supplied 9's

Pro's

Its a tele through and through good value i reckon i could tow it behind the car to a gig and it would still be in tune when i get there, and it would still be in one bit

cons

None really for me

Quality guitar

This is a real quality music instrument (not a musical toy) that I can put trust in a concert and studio. Came in perfect condition for playing. Holds the tuning, sounds super clear and articulate. Weight is reminding that this guitar has some quality wood. Looks gorgeous and it is a great guitar for a cheap price.

After playing guitar for more than 15 years it is quite easy to recognize the high-quality instrument between budget music toys. In this price range, most of the guitars are more toys for kids than a musical instrument for musicians. But this T is a great guitar and a "real thing" that will keep value for a long time.

The only con I met was after changing strings the buzz came on the head nut. But I easily fixed it by putting a nice hairband above the nut.
