They're rolling the fingerboard edges finally. Should do that with every model..
Half-assedly chasing Sire at best...big ol nothingburger to me. Glad to see rosewood back I guess but not leaping out of my chair to open my wallet, especially if nothing has changed on the dodgy (at best) QC front
That's about what I was thinking.
it sounds better than a sire (apperently! i haven't tried it yet), and the fretboard edges aren't so dramatically rolled.. i say this is all good news, even if not super innovative. i would personally choose this over a sire
@@reanavision7896 Fair, I've tried a couple of Sire's. IMO they feel about the same now. They're both good, not rushing for either though.
Was tempted to pick up the P2 precision, but I picked up a Squier 40th vintage since the neck felt practically the same at $400 less.
My husband just purchased a schecter tele nick johnston model and says quality, build, and sound are light years above fender
🤫 Don't say that too loud lol!
Nah for real, it has been my experience for years. From Tokai to Samick to Schecter to freakin LTD of all companies? Everyone does Fender better than Fender does Fender and asks a portion of the price haha.
Rosewood and rolled edges, that’s about it. Definitely prefer rosewood, and I can roll edges myself if needed.
Are you saying "it's good but not its price tag good"?
Close, I'm more saying it's fine but the theater of giving it a new model name is completely unnecessary. Plus what Joek said as well. It just kinda does nothing new enough to warrant the attention it's getting.
I know it would be commercial suicide and they'll never admit it, but are we getting to the point where Fender can't make their instruments any better?
I agree, this is a big nothing , just another line to add “ii” next to
Why would anyone prefer this over a Sire v5r?
Nameplate more than anything else, possibly even resale value? Same question I was asking when I was playing them lol
Ease of modification would be my reason
so what DID you want or expect?
Simultaneously anything new but also nothing at all at the same time.
AM pro 2 is my fav but those players series just aren't great
I think the Player's are fine tbh. I just don't understand why it got a refresh, just doesn't make sense.
They are absolutely great if you get a good apple.
@floofthebassplayer Fender refreshed the Player series to keep public and buyer interest and excitement in buying the "latest and greatest," even if the new appointments on it aren't up to those levels. It seems pretty much all of their lines have gone through a refresh the past 2 to 3 years. It's like the Vintera line: I own the first generation (2 J and 1 P), and the Vintera 2 is not much of a change. I think color options become clear on the new generations, but hardware and PUP advancement are marginal many times.
Stop talking, let me just listen
