shipping was bad but guitar rocks
I bought what was labels Used Good. The guitar was not protected well in the box and got a couple dings. So minus one for whomever packed my guitar!I was going to return it but before I could I played it a couple days and feel in love. It's a nice guitar. Very comfortable to play. Sounds great too. Very pretty except for the dings.

Telecaster Deal
This is my second time trying to buy a Fender Telecaster from Amazon. The first was 6 years ago. It got lost in transit. Something about UPS mishandling the shipment. Anyway on with the review. The only thing I don't like is that the boxing shows the product. Example: Fender Telecaster name, all over the outside of the box. Temptation is only seconds away from a theft.I was lucky this time around. Ordered it based on the specs and reviews. It was delivered on time by you know who, UPS. Good price. Thanks Amazon.It had factory 9 gauge strings. I play 10's. It was later changes to 10's. It needed a complete setup $100. It plays great. I play most on the bridge mode. I am not disappointed The Luthier was very impressed by the built and sound. I play several types of music. Country, Jazz, Standards, Rock and Blues. It does a good job. After 35 years of playing and entertaining I am satisfied with this Fender. I have had many guitars through out the years. And I am always leary, about foreign products. This one is a Mexican product. Fender in Corona, Ca. says they design it, but the Mexico factory assembles the guitar. That is where is the cost is reduced. An American Telecaster is about 80% more expensive, only because its comes from the USA.Buy this guitar and spend some money on the "setup". It will play great. Ciao!

Beautiful Sound and Looks!
Love this guitar! I compared this MIM to an American one in GC, and was sold not only by it’s classy looks, but by it’s playability.Both guitars were visually appealing and both sounded great. They both have the same body. The hardware and pickups on the American are upgraded, but the ones on the this guitar are still pretty good quality and they have improved the pickups from last years MIM, which I believe was called Standard series instead of Player series. The biggest difference aside from the price being half that of the USA, was the neck. The Player Series neck (I have been playing it hours every day since I bought it a month ago) plays like butter. It is fast and narrow and the action very low. My fingers just slide all around effortlessly and my rough callouses from my acoustic playing have smoothed out into just hard fingertips that glide along the strings.The neck on the USA model was a bit thicker and slightly wider, which for me, makes it hard to comfortably fret the 6th string. Please take into consideration I am female and have small hands, so it may not mean much for you if you are a man, but I think it increases speed if that’s what you’re interested in.Aside from all of that, the guitar sounds great. Quintessential Tele sound is achievable, as well as other sounds. GC didnt have the Polar White and they couldn’t even get it, so I bought it here on Amazon. I called the number on this page and even got a discount. I Got the Polar White and it is stunning. Absolutely flawless!Only complaint, as another reviewer has said, the packaging was poor. It arrived in a cardboard box ( the original Fender box) without any kind of neck support or cushioning what so ever. Alarming for any guitar enthusiast. Luckily, after removing the guitar from the box, the guitar was perfect and had no issues. It really would be in the customer’s best interest, and also in Fender’s best interest to do a better job packaging the guitar. Just some cardboard supports around the neck and some foam around the body is all it would take.I highly recommend this guitar.

Converted to Telecaster
I’ve always been a Les Paul guy but lately I’ve been craving for crispy cleans and smooth tones that only a single coil guitar can deliver.But more than that, this guitar is very versatile.She can be a sweet and polite girl, a country one with a thick southern accent or a hot and dirty one with a lot of attitude. You pick the mood and just have fun!I love my new fender telecaster and it’s my main axe now!If you can’t afford an American one, you’re not missing too much by buying the player series, it is in fact a much better value for the money!If you’re on a tight budget I would suggest the Squier affinity telecaster or the classic vibe, they are truly amazing guitars for the money too.I would like to wrap up my review by sharing my experience buying this guitar on Amazon.PROS:+ Good sale price and fast shipping+ Amazing tones and playability+ Great stock pickups+ Good value for the money+ Very versatile guitar: you can play country, blues, pop, jazz, rock and even use it as a self-defense weapon.CONS:- The guitar is shipped in a very simple box with very little protection, I can see how some people had problems with damage and dents on the guitar, thankfully mine was perfect.- The tone knob of my guitar is a little scratchy and pickup switch knob is loose, it’s not a hard fix but I guess at this price point this is something that can happen.- Amazon doesn’t offer a price adjustment I bought it on sale with 15% discount, then they lowered the price to 25% discount a few days later but customer service refused to adjust the price for me.I could’ve sent the guitar back and buy it again cheaper but I’m already emotionally attached to her and I didn’t wanna risk receiving a damaged one for the reasons I mentioned above.Overall I’m very happy with the guitar but not so happy about Amazon customers service.Hope this was a helpful review.Regardless of what I said you can’t go wrong with a Fender Telecaster!Cheers!

Great feeling and playing guitar for the musician in you.
Has a very nice neck and has p/p tone knob for coil tap. Humbuckers work great. When in single coil mode, also sounds awesome through a good tube amp! Guitar was near set up perfectly. Still had to set it up my way.Waited since last November when ordered, guitar finally showed up 8 months later? Why, I do not know, showed in stock for all those months. Keep pickin...

Love this guitar!!
I am blown away by the feel, sound and quality of the players series tele. I took it to a Luther to have a tusq nut put in place of the plastic nut as that was the only weak point, he raved about the guitar. Super impressed with the pickups, neck does beautiful cleans ie.) Keith Richards, Mick Taylor and the bridge has nice bite to it. Very versatile, no fret sprouting, nice action and sounds great. Tremendous value and a much better build than I expected for a Mexico build, the gap has narrowed I would say.
