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.

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.

Plays great, looks fantastic! Thanks!

Box was damaged but guitar was not. Did a setup and now it sounds amazing. Spend the extra $ and have it setup properly. It will sound like a Tele that costs 3 times as much. Impressed with quality of a Mexican Tele and am now looking for Fender Vintera Jaguar (Mexican made). Truly impressed.
