Fender Player Series Tele MN TPL

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

This is honestly the most versatile guitar i’ve played and all u got is a three-way switch with a tone and a volume knob.

The tuners are extremely high quality. The guitar hasn’t untuned once, and i've been excessively playing for over a week.

The whole instrument feels like a carpenters work of art, it vibrates trough and trough, even when its not plugged in.

The pickups are gonna give you some of the cleanest tones you can find.
I played mine on Yamaha THR10II and it sounds amazing..

The only thing that could be better quality in my opinion is the fingerboard, i think its made of plastic, but you can always order a custom one.

When i ordered my guitar, it came with a worn nut. The bottom string was buzzing when played open and the strings were old and stale with marks on them. Also the bridge and the thruss in the neck had to be adjusted. So be warned that it could cost you extra 20€-50€ depending on your situation. But thats what happens when a guitar sits in a warehouse for a couple years.
Note that you can always send it back if you order from Thomann!
And after contacting Thomann about the situation they sent me funds to fully repair it at my local guitar shop, which is amazing because i dont have to send it back.

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!)

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.
