Sweet vid! I'm in love with the Hialeah Yellow and Birch Green. The White Blonde is pretty sweet too. I'm getting the Hialeah Yellow Jag â€
The best Fender Player II guitar is the Fender Player Series that will now sell for $499 on Reverb and the Classic Vibes for $300. It's a buyer's market for used gear.
It really is. I canât believe some of the deals Iâm seeing on Les Paulâs ⊠I may buy one soon.
@@hailmaryrecordings8255 Totally agree. It's really nice seeing sub 1 grand SGs and LP Specials and Tributes.
It's about time. Sheesh
I was on the fence for a couple of weeks before the news of these new ones, but this is why I have now decided to definitely keep my player Strat đ. Mine is shell pink anyway and they donât make that many of those.
It's no Player 2, Einstein.
Pau Ferro Fenders will be much sought after 20 years from now due to their scarcity đ
lol, so true. In 30 years, people will be spending huge money to get Pau Ferro fretboards on their custom shop guitars to get that âvintageâ look.
Buy them up now because I bet their value just tanked đ
@@cliftongardner4367 What would a 50s look be called by then? Ancient? Prehistoric?
I really dont know wtf is the hate about. Pau ferro looks great.
@@jojojojojojojojojojojojob Iâve got a few and like them just fine!
Whoah, calm down Fender. So many innovative designs and tech. Whatever will they think of next?
Self-playing guitars...just like self-driving cars.
Plays like who? Chet? Eric? Eddie? Yarzo Spatflute?
Saw a new Strat in a light metallic green with a SMALL headstock, proportional to 70's large to regular preCBS size; played nicely. So?
the all new telestrat with a 70s big headstock and 60s singlecoils...haha....
"Standard fingerboard edges, you can't play with that.." đ
Its basically a Vintera II with one more fret.
I wish they would have added Lake Placid Blue, like the one you built.
This is why all of the Players have been on sale. They're trying to get back customers who's buying all the budget guitars.
Edit: So, they basically stayed the same except for they've got new colors and a real rosewood board.
And rolled fingerboards. That was the main reason I was gonna get a sire s7 so I'd say that's a smart upgrade
@@TheMcstevester Indeed. That is a wonderful appointment. I've got a Fiesta Red Player Plus with a mint pick guard. I got it on sale at Guitar Center for $900. They're originally over a grand I believe. It was in mint condition. Whoever owned it must've not had it long, because it was a previously owned model. It's got the rolled edges, locking tuners, 12" radius and the noiseless pickups. It plays beautifully! I wanted a Strat with the noiseless pickups, but unfortunately, I don't care for them. They're kinda lifeless and soulless. They've kinda got that Strat sound, but not quite. The humbucker in it is fairly decent. I want to put a Texas Special in the neck and middle, then put a Pearly Gates in the bridge.
@@Krullmatic you forgot the aged white plastics⊠that look like SHIT
â@@nickhall1115 That is one of the leading reasons that I'm keeping my og player strat
â@@nickhall1115and decided against a player plus
I donât wanna sound like one of âthoseâ people but I wouldâve liked to see a shell pink, but the white blonde and the yellow are pretty cool đ
they will probably do a online exclusive i recon
So glad I snagged a shell pink Strat a few years ago, mine has a maple fretboard and came stock with a tortoise shell pickguard, sheâs a beauty. I think it was a guitar center exclusive.
There's no way I'm replacing my Strat, but I'm glad I can get a rosewood fingerboard when I'm ready to buy a tele.
I'm a maple board guy with my strats but not teles. I 100% agree with you.
Iâm glad I waited. Now I need to wait til October for the left handed versions.
I've heard from some reviewers claim that the Player II series has different pickups but I cannot find anything from Fender that states that. If it was true it would not be hard to find the info and Fender would be shouting it out everywhere claiming it's the best pickups since sliced bread...
@@retiredguyadventures6211 Iâm pretty sure the pickups havenât changed.
So, there are supposed to be new pickups in the player 2 Teles compared to the player Tele? What is the difference? Is this good or bad? Thanks
I have a Squier standard electric guitar how to record a while I want to change the piccard out and put on locking tuners do you know if Squire pick Gardens Adventure pit guards are the same size I know it's a lot of holes put the screws I was wondering if you knew what lock and keys woodwork on a square neck without having to drill it out the neck on the Square standard I have is a compound radius neck hated it when I first bought it but now I don't want to play any other guitars I'm going to love it so much
I just got my player 2 Strat yesterday!! Awesome axe so far. Still keeping my player 1 lol.
I've got a Squier Classic Vibe 50s Tele in that blonde color you like. Cost me $350. Modded it so that the only thing original is the neck, the body and the bridge (not the saddles though). That thing is perfect, and it's still cheaper than one of those new.
Can you get these in buttercream like the Player series.
Roll edges easy to do and add locking tuners on player series 1 job done brilliant guitar love mine will not need series 2
I just got an e-mail for these. I already have an MIJ 60s Strat and an Oxblood Telecaster, so I'm not really in the market for either (and I mostly stick with shorter scales), but that Birch Green, Hialeah Yellow, and Coral Red are nice. Life's good if you're into Stratocasters or Telecasters. It's just too bad we still have to go to Fender Japan if we want any cool Mustangs, Jaguars (I know they have Player II Jaguars, but I don't want that goofy, simplified control switching), or Cyclones, though.
I just logged onto the Fender Japan page, and quite frankly I'm more impressed with what their getting for 2024. That Hybrid II line looks right up my ally. Lot's of cool color's and bursts, why aren't we getting that in America?

Hey, i wanna learn how to play guitar. I'm left handed i was wondering what to get for a beginner guitar and amp.
Try a Squier Classic Vibe Tele and Vox Mini Go 3
I like the new colors and chambered bodies are good too. Welcome back Rosewood! We missed you! â€ïž
The Jazzmaster!!! anything else can be thrown away.
Seek help.
I like the changes, only thing left to loose is the neck heel block.
They actually upgraded stuff. Nice.
I'm digging the return of the rosewood option and classic gear tuners. Not super thrilled about the colors. If I had to choose I'd go sunburst strat and blonde Tele. I wonder if they'll release a duo sonic?
My small local shop in Vancouver already has 19 various Player II models in stock where L&M won't get many of them till October, apparently. That Aquatone Blue is like an eggshell blue, a slightly deeper Daphne, not as dark as Lake Placid. I like pau ferro, it's a smooth fast fretboard, with a dense grain like ebony. I guess they dropped the Lead II and III, fun guitars but not too popular.
Ah dang and I just added a rhythm circuit and Fralin pickups to my CME Jazzmaster. Time to pitch it!
Last month I found a mint '21 player Strat for $270. Firewood now, I guess. Oh well.
Rosewood is a welcome change. A lot of features trickle down from the equivalent usa models though. i am curious what will they offer in the next pro III or w.e to differentiate since rosewood/vintage look/rolled edges are also in the mexican models now.
I have a Player Strat HSS. Very good guitar, planning on keeping it.
HH teles look good, but would like more color/fretboard options
thats true đ
It's interesting what they did. I would say I am more inclined to purchase a Tele or strat next sweetwater run but I would find time to see more reviews on the new Player II Before anything
My first tele was also a 2004 Standard!
Points for bringing back Rosewood but minus points for not calling it âPlayer Series: Electric Boogalooâ
I kinda like that birch green... Might pick up a mustang or jag in that color... then again, I might not...
I generally concur w/ your preferences.
One day, Iâll start up my business and then there will be plenty of left handed guitars for us.
Iâll be there opening day bud.
Have you got a PRS SE NF3 yet?
The 2 series is alright, and honestly the jazzmaster in green looks really nice. Nothing wrong with a striped down jazzmaster, It's a cheaper American Performer made in Mexico :D!
The pick ups are the same from player 1, at least from the description on the fender website (Player 1 stuff is still there so...)
That Cherryburst Tele. Gorgeous.
I personally like the Jazzmaster and Jaguar, but the Player II versions are missing the Rhythm Circuit on the Jazzmaster and the Jaguar and the three separate switches on the Jaguar... The rosewood boards and upgraded tuners are a good step, but the omission of the rhythm circuit and switches is a deal breaker - I would opt for the Vintera II. granted the Vintera II is approx. 30% more $$, but it's just a pipe dream for me...
Great Vids! Keep up the good work
I do not need any more guitars, but we all know how that goes. If this Jazzmaster had a rhythm circuit it would be an insta-buy for me, probably in sunburst. For a JM I may stick to my plan of the CME walnut Squier CV.
From this series I think I want the birch green Tele. It looks retro in a "Nana's fridge from the 80's" way. I already have a Player 1 Tele, Strat, and Duo-Sonic along with my first guitar, an old 1992 MIM Strat.
They made a 16 minute video just talking about regular guitar features like rolled frets, a bridge you donât have to adjust every time you play, and cool car colors.
I was eyeing on an MIJ hybrid 2, but I just have to say the player 2 is seriously challenging that decision
Snapped up one of the new Teles. Got the green one with rosewood board.
Been waiting for something different and that color did it for me.
Iâll probably change out the bridge and saddles but it should be a nice upgrade platform.
Nice to see rosewood boards. The Jazzmaster interests me. If only it came in actual Daphne blue........
I'm holding out til the Player LXIX series
Part 3 is always the way to to. Like the movies: Spider-Man 3, Godfather part 3, Blade Trinity
These look class
Seems a shame theyâve gone with the six saddle bridge on the Teles. A bit like putting humbuckers on a Jazzmaster.
I really like that new yellow, it looks like an aged blond. Still, I'll stick with my buttercream. One of the best colors Fender has ever put out.
Price hike series II
My Player is in the bin. Damn you, Fender!!!
Buy a used American standard from 90s or 2000, same cost, and youâll have American made version of the same thing with a case.
True. And even the fancy deluxe from that period
22 frets!!! I am so happy!!!!!!!!
Awww crap! I just changed my strings on my Player yesterday, and now I have to burn it.
If I had to pick one of those, it would be the Mustang all day.
"fake animals" LOL
the jazzmaster is literally calling my name
Hell yea yellow!
Rosewood fretboard. Sweet!
900 bucks for a player Tele?! The cheapest Fender series?!! Shut the front door! The rolled fingerboards edges seem really cool tho lol
just for your information old boy....i'm keeping my 50s modded 2 color burst, maple fretboard strat (which cost me 300$ less than these new ones 15 years ago) and i also keep my cream white tele 60th anniversary model as well.....(moddeed with neck humbucker) yep......and cheers....no more telestrats for me thank you.
Kinda cool! Glad I didn't by a Player I Strat last week! đ
Depending on your price sensitivity, you could be even gladder that you got a Player I this week!
@@LumaTo This would be my first Fender, so I'm actually thinking about stepping up to a AM Perf Strat HSS or maybe even a Fender AV II 73 Strat. Gotta love that beefy headstock đ
@@TheMack I went the same route with my Ultra Strat in 2021, and I honestly wish I went with the Player Plus series instead. My brother spent way less and got very close in quality. đ«
These at least have rosewood as an option as opposed to Pau Ferro.
@@LumaTo That sounds reasonable. The Plus series might be a nice middle ground between quality and playability. I'm either going rosewood or maple so that might put the Plus out of contest...oh well, it's good to have options đČ
PLEASE do a 3 way comparison of the new Fender Player II Tele, your Dark Night American Player, and your honeyburst American Performer.
Pau ferro was boutique until they started to offer it on the MIMs. Maybe now it will go back to where it belongs, the custom shop, for people with bad taste like SRV.
Wonder how the player II tele fares against the hybrid II? Also I actually love the look of the strat in fiesta red. With those aged pickups too? Perfection.
It's me, I would have liked a jazzmaster with humbuckers lol
I'm glad you are you! :)
So real for saying "Lefties get left out" I'm a leftie and I can barely find guitars let alone one that I like
Damn ÂŁ799 or ÂŁ899
My player tele was ÂŁ550 new all black i had it set it up new control panel thats it
My player strat limited edition has rosted maple fretboard custom pickups for ÂŁ899 i won it
I don't think my player series strat or tele will be going any time soon. I heard a review of one of the new strats by Sean Daniels (I stress one review only), and those new pickups sounded bloody awful.
This is why I'm weirdly happy about being a southpaw. I never really experience the same kind of FOMO since, when I began, the only guitar in the entire tristate was a laminate Samick.
I've got a small body Gibson acoustic now so my biggest "problem" is a 19 fret neck đ.
I suffer the same dysfunction, lol. I feel spoiled when they offer a left handed version in some color other than black.
I like the Mary Kaye white.
Aquatone Blue...Miami Blue? Birch Green I really like.
Not digging most of the new colors. The supposed vintage colors aren't the standard vintage colors you'd expect like surf green, seafood green, sonic blue, shell pink, two tone sunburst, Daphne yellow, etc. That birch green looks like baby shit.
Nah, just bought my player 1 a month and a half ago for like $679.00 it was a great deal. I do like the vintage style locking tuners tho. I put a set of Gotohs on my HB telecaster. Theyâre great. But I bet they require the smaller type hole vs whatâs on the player 1âs. Itâs all pretty close shizzz on these. Not enough to get rid of a player 1.
Wish they had added the Duo-sonic to the mix. But otherwise: cool.
Is it Godfather 2? Terminator 2? Shrek 2?
it's Empire Strikes Back hopefully!
Caddyshack 2
Sorry but I'm not really excited about the color selection. Plenty of colors to choose from but none really speak to me. That's kind of a bummer.
I kinda want the white blonde tele, except I already have a tele so I won't.
It's the guitar, formerly known as... And quite honestly, I am unimpressed with the color options. I'd rather pay the extra and get the Vintera II.đą
Very well
The lefty options really suck. I wish Kurt Cobain never popularized the mustang cuz they don't ever give us it and I'd much rather mod one of these than screw up a rare MIJ one. We can't even get humbuckers in anything and all our finishes are boring
I should've heeded your warning yesterday of staying of CZcams. On top of it Im releasing a video about Fesley LP, and Fender makes this huge announcement...Man I'm sure my video is going to do great todayđ€Šââ
@@JosephX74 sorry for being a part of multiple communities, and enjoying other creators content
That Birch Green needs to be never used again, that is fugly. Olive green would have been much more gooder.
On the pronunciation of Hialeah itâs HI-uh-LEE -uh. Itâs the name of a city in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
Iâm waiting for the series 3 Player Series. Should be out in a year or so?
nah min 5 year
@@doku1684 I hope I came off as being facetious ? These guitar companies , post pandemic slumps, are adopting the Proctor and Gamble grocery store model. Declare the same product new and improved and invent every possible permutation you can to take up shelf space.

The return to rosewood is the only thing that I care about.
Pretty cool
Dude this guy's jokes and little comments he throws in I swear đđ€Łđ€Ł "Birch green, don't really care", "synthetic bone, they get that from fake animals" đ
6:34 Itâs Alinico II instead of the Alnico Vâs for a âvintageâ sound wtf that means đ. Iâm sure itâs a thinly veiled coat reduction to increase the profit margins for the fat cats on Wall Street đ€Ł
a price cut?? in this economy??
I threw away four guitars after the first two minutes of this video. Gonna go chuck a couple more.
I find it funny how the guitar community has decided that rosewood isn't an overharvested endangered species anymore.
Well, it's not the guitar community, it's international law by CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna And Flora). Brazilian Rosewood seems to be still banned, but other forms like Indian Rosewood are not
@@GerryBlue you took me a little to literally there. I guess âacted likeâ is more accurate than âdecidedâ. I just feel if people did some research into what is happening to rosewood, they would not be so eager to use it.
@@shanewalton8888 Well to be honest nobody needs a new guitar, to me the more sustainable way is to only, or mostly, buy used guitars
But its got a new hat!
Player 1s, have A5.
"Aged white parts" - another idiot feature. I'll stick to Ibanez.
Hopefully the player ii are a lot better than the player. The classic vibes were better and half the price. The fretwork was just bad on the mim stuff from the last few years and the tuners felt bad like the classic vibes ones.
It also looks like no fake wide range humbuckers. That is a big improvement.
At these prices they gotta be offshore. Have had 3 Squiers and 1 Mex.
Meh...
Am I seriously the only one who likes the pau ferro look? :(
I donât care what my fretboard is made out of. I like Pau Ferro, honestly.
I don't mind PF. It just looks "different" to what we're used to. Its amusing that pale toffee fretboards sell like hot cakes if it's roasted maple, but are suddenly a turn off if it's Pau Ferro. But fashions change - Pale Moon Ebony would've been tossed in the reject bin 20 years ago for not being uniform pitch black, but a few limited editions later and figured ebony is more desirable than plain. You watch, now they've more or less dumped PF, give it 5 years and a PF limited edition will be a craze.
I have a Mustang P90 with it. It's light, but complements the guitar.
