My dad just bought me a player fender as a surprise , he got it out of his retirement money. Really sweet of him. Didn’t expect it at all, Im so emotional 😭. It’s a white one and I always wanted a white one because it reminds me of Hendrix Woodstock Strat. I’m so happy.
i got some money so bought dad his first fender in 50 yrs of playing which was really sweet of me😁 worth it ,to hear him say "a real one!" when he opened thomann box
Can I just say that you’ve become one of my top favorites here on RUclips that reviews and compares gear. You thoroughly go in depth even inside the pick guard. It’s awesome to see the innards of guitars too. That way, it shows us the full overall QC of the instrument and not just the outside. You are a much appreciated RUclipsr. Thanks Landon.
I wish i have just one fender strat. In Turkey this guitar 8500₺-9000₺, if I want the have this guitar I must work 4-5 months. 5 months! I am a just student, this is so sad.
I have this one and wanted an American model so bought a 2003 Standard. This one is far better machined and built than that one. The American had paint everywhere inside the cavities and the paint was thin. This guitar is very well made compared to it. I think when we see made in USA on the headstock it makes it better. Not true the Mexican model has more pride built in if you ask me.
Absolutely great review. I just bought the evh Wolfgang out of Mexico and I am very impressed by their workmanship. Honestly it's better than the Custom Shop one I paid $3,500. Today by complete coincidence I was pricing this very same Strat. Man, you answered all my questions I wanted to know about shielding, magnets, wiring, you-name-it, you answered it; thank you!
The Player series are great guitars but they are NOT a custom shop guitar. A custom shop is the best of the best. I have nothing bad to say about the Player series but if you really have both you know what the differences are. I know both very well and the Custom shop is on another level.
Although the guitar was shipped as SSS, I like how how the body was routed as HSH giving you options for future upgrades. I bought an excellent loaded pickguard in a HSH configuration with SD P-Rail pickups from 920D Custom Shop online.
I have one like that I bought last summer, it was a sweetwater demo got a great deal on it mine came set up floating, frets did not need any work, the set up was the best out of box of any I’ve ever had love it
Thanks Landon. I like that you buy them so you can call it as you see it. I watched a couple of videos by another Canadian guitar guy the other day and his review videos just seem like advertisements. He doesn't say that he was given the guitar (or payment) but it's obvious that's the case as he never points out 'cons'. (At least in the videos I watched.)
I subbed and liked. Great videos. Fender Strats are life! I have the HSS Floyd Rose Player series Strat in white with maple board. One of the best Strats I've ever had. My favorite of all was my 1999 HH Strat in white with black pick guard, 21 feet rosewood board. I wish I still had it. The player series I have is what I've always wished for in a hot rod Strat. So much that I built a single hum, single volume black pick guard loaded with a Seymour Duncan TB 6 Distortion and a Seymour Duncan 500k volume pot. Now I have my version of the VH 1 Strat without the black stripes. The Strat is an amazing blank canvas that you can play stock or turn into your own signature shredder.
I put a Gibson mini humbucker in the bridge position of my Buttercream Player’s Strat. It’s interesting, that’s for sure. One of my favorite guitars though.
Excellent review. I was unaware of the shielding paint coming from the factory like that. Strats in 3-color burst are gorgeous. I like your comments on the weight being perfect. That makes it easier to play for long periods of time. I dig the balance of mine, which seems to be just like yours except for locking Fender tuners, a real bone nut, and we set the tremolo bar wa-wa so that it will only going down and not back when the bar is pulled back (just my style). We've found that it helps keep her in tune longer. She ain't a Tele and that is ok. Again, excellent review Landon!
I bought identical model about same time as you. Mine had fret sprout that had to be filed down and finished. Also I had trouble keeping tune and eventually put on locking tuners. My factory setup seemed rushed and so I adjusted the neck 1/4 turn, lowered the bridge to factory spec, and lowered the string height at the bridge after installing new strings. That said, this thing sounds great and plays quite well. This is a lot of guitar for the money - I'm keeping this one.
Hi Landon I know it's been three years but I thought I'd add my thoughts. I bought a Player SSS on sale as my first Strat and love it, beautiful Plus Top, fantastic neck, flawless fit and finish and plays and sounds great! Like it so much I added a HSS a year later, then a year after that got a LE HSS on sale for a price I couldn't pass up. These are fantastic guitars, especially for what they cost (I wait for sale prices). On sale they are usually less than $200 more than a Squier CV and well worth it. I love the pickups and nothing needs upgraded, they are perfect right out of the box. Excellent review, thank you!
Love the Player series. I bought my son the exact guitar for Christmas 2 years ago and it is an excellent guitar. Only difference is that my son wanted a humbucker in the bridge. The prices have gone up on these Player series. Great video man. Thanks.
Hey Landon, thanks for your videos! About the tremolo -- it's not the same like on American Standard, it's from Taiwan OEM company. And it sounds really dull. I swapped it on my surf green Player strat to the modern Amercican Professional tremolo and got a tons of the sound improvements. Best upgrade I ever made, hehe.
I really enjoy your reviews mate. I own the same model mim strat. Our whole family loves it. We are very happy with it. I’ll pass it down to my son and hopefully so on.
This is by far the best guitar I've ever owned. Seriously. I upgraded from a cheap Starcaster by Fender guitar that was made in china, and the jump from that to this guitar is huge. Mine is an HSS that's black and white with a maple neck, I wanted something more flexible for gain than just an SSS guitar, this guitar however meets those expectations. That and it just feels really nice to play, it doesn't feel too different from a 2015 American Strat that I tried at guitar center back in 2017, if anything I'd argue the feel is the exact same. Overall high quality guitar that's totally a bang for your buck, at least for the time being. Get them now while they're still under $1000 folks.
I'm glad to hear that you like it! My Black Fender Player with Pau Ferro (a nice dark PF btw) is one of the best guitars I've ever owned. The necks are so comfortable and.. perfect in my opinion so I wouldn't want it any other way. I have Squiers that are awesome but down the road, I think these Players just feels the best :)
Recently sold my Squier classic vibe 60s and bought a Player Strat HSS 3 TS and a PF Fretboard. It's a great affordable guitar, i love the sound, the feeling and the playability. Overall quality is better than Squier. I swapped the white pickguard to a black one, looks great with white PUs and white tone knobs - a bit SRVish... ;-)
My plastic nut was cracked out of the factory, I put a custom bone nut in it, decked the trem, polished all the frets and put locking tuners in it amazing guitar.
Nice review, Landon. Don't forget to use the tone control when demoing bridge pickup sounds. It can make the difference between a harsh thin ice pick tone and a smooth distorted tone.
Thanks for the video and review. I just ordered a Fender Player Strat Plus Top in Aged Cherry with a maple fretboard. I got the HSS version cause I already have a SSS strat. Picking it up this week from Guitar Center and can't wait!
Nice vid Landon. And thank you very much for turning off the background music when you are speaking. Much appreciated. Now I can finally hear what you have to say.
I've got same guitar in Polar white have just fitted Fender locking tuners on and put small Fender spring inside whammy arm hole to stop it falling and feeling a bit more secure, don't really want to touch anything else as I love it the way it is now. Great video
Thanks for the video, are the frets rough running your hand down the neck, the one I got had rough frets had to have work done on it now its ok nice and smooth..
One thing that would be fantastic would be a comparison between the player series strat and tele. When I was trying to purchase mine, I never found a video that compares both.
Cool video, Landon! I bought exactly the same last fall. Also sunburst, maple neck, sss. Couldn't be more happy with another guitar. For a amateur like me it's really perfect. I once bought an expensive Les Paul, long ago. Frankly, I'm more happy with this Strat. (don't tell anyone, please...) You can't compare the sound, but it's the playability. Much more comfortable. Must say that I polished the fret-ends a little to take the sharpness off. The Player Tele is on top of my wish list! :-) Is the the neck on the Tele the same? Take care, keep playing and keep making these cool video's! Thanks man!
@@landonbailey Mine was maple neck 3-Color Sunburst same as your, neck looks like 1 piece maple like you said, but the seller said is not, is it 1 piece or not just wondering?
Great review, my wife is "surprising" me with my first electric, a Buttercream one, on Christmas and I can't wait. Also just wanted to say 3 seconds in I was like this dude is from the Toronto area. As a kid growing up in Virginia I watched Strange Brew about 100 times. (Still the greatest re-telling of Hamlet EVER.) Love Canadians as they are happy people who take their anger and rage and somehow transfer it to the geese and then send those bastards south to F with us. ;) You earned this Subscription.
Great revue mines great, you mentioned the bridge trem block looking bigger well this sado weighed it and it’s the same as the American pro and looked the same the pups looked and sounded like US standard and full size pots the same. As for the pups I think in many situations the alnico’ pups sound clearer and more defined (ceramics can be a little muddy). Well thanks again for a great revue. One thing I did notice when mine was new the strings were a little bit jangling or buzzy but this settled down after a few weeks playing.
My favorite is whatever colour that I have lol. I have 2 white strat styles:Pacifica and LTD. Ide have to say black, Im upgrading/restoring a black Peavy! Nice guitar Landon! PLAY GUITAR! YES, it was the body break line.
Great comprehensive video thanks,I’m purchasing one of these soon just purchased the player precision bass with a rosewood(PF) neck,it’s superb can I ask would you recommend a maple neck or rosewood on the strat?
Landon, did you adjust the action height, sounds really good, my daughter a music director up at St Ignacio brought home a squire strat and an Ibanez home amp so that I could tri it out, it weighed 7.6 pounds as well, to me this seemed heavy compared to my nylon string La Pattie Etude guitar! Have a Happy Christmas you and your family
I got a 2019 model a few months back. It was new but had some terrible problems..some of which I fixed and some that my luthier is working on now. I bought the HSH version and that bridge humbucker really cranks. To answer your questions on the pots, they're the same as what Fender used for the American Standard, the frets are the same wire and the bridge is either an exact copy or it's an American bridge right down to the imperial set screws...they aren't metric. In all if you get a good one it's a great value. In my case it'll be a huge value...soon.
Great and helpful video!! Is this a Sss or a Hss?? I want this exact one in hss, and i would like to change the pickguard to a gold turquoise with time :))) would really help to know if this is sss or hss? ❤
I use a pill bottle or some type of small cylinderical object to hild the loosened strings out of the way. It keeps tension on the strings and keeps them from getting in the way or moving around much. Sometimes even a slide works
Best thing Fender did was bring out the player series. 2 weeks into owning mine and am continually impressed with this guitar. I own the new classic vibe also and this is a big step up. Decking the bridge improved the tuning stability heaps too
My dad just bought me a player fender as a surprise , he got it out of his retirement money. Really sweet of him. Didn’t expect it at all, Im so emotional 😭. It’s a white one and I always wanted a white one because it reminds me of Hendrix Woodstock Strat. I’m so happy.
those are awesome! congrats
DUDE THATS SICK !!!
That's awesome! You have a great dad.

I am having 16 fender strats. They are really the best.
You can never have to many strats

So from what I've seen so far, it's possible that your firstborns name is "Fender"! Hahaha love it!
Thanks for the look & review. Great looking Strat!
This has got to be the most detailed video of this guitar, thanks
Fender Player series is a great quality guitar and gives you great sounds that is close to US made fender. Love it🎸

I have this guitar in the 2019 model left handed same color it rocks.🤟 Great for those vintage tones especially on the neck pickup!
In my opinion, the Player series is the best that you can get for its price in Fender
they are solid!
Love the sunburst color and the pups sound very good.
Ordered a lefty model in the sunburst and a Mustang amp from Sweetwater last week. My first electric guitar.
Nice!!
I’ve had my sunburst about a month and absolutely love it. I’m thinking of buying a black one and dropping 57/62 pickups in it for some different tone
I have one like that I bought last summer, it was a sweetwater demo got a great deal on it mine came set up floating, frets did not need any work, the set up was the best out of box of any I’ve ever had love it
Very cool!

Shaun Stephens I’m all about keeping it real :)
Mine is a 2018. Looks just like this. Plays amazing, wouldn't trade it for the world.
nice! ya should be the same specs
Thank you i’m so glad to have it
👍🎸
The Fender's strings are also soft/tender. Fun to play... Awesome
Just ordered one now. I already see that I won't be disappointed.
great series! have fun
@@landonbailey thank you! Cheers

Is maple fretboard is good or should go for Pau Ferro Fretboard?? Does sliding & bending notes in maple fretboard is problematic??
@@yashkotakmusic It shouldn't be a problem at all. If so contact the place you bought it from. I like both.
Great review! I've got this exact guitar coming next week after a year of acoustic only! Can't wait
nice!
2:27 😂😂😂😂😂 Nice video as always Landon!
According to Leo Fender's factory specification the bridge should be floating 1/8" off the body. Try it you'll be amazed how well it works.
I never knew that. You don’t have any tuning issues.
Amazing guitar, I have the same guitar, year, color and maple. I have an American Standard too HSS, and in this momento I prefer my player.

I'm trading for one of these tomorrow. Can't wait to get it. I've watched several review videos and they are all good.
nice!
YUP, bought the same guitar Saturday.
congrats!
Çok emek verilmiş bir video olmuş. Ellerinize sağlık

Hii landon. Did you prefer player strat or player tele?
I like the Tele more, but I like all Teles more
Best unboxing ever. subscribed.
oh hey thanks! I did an actual unboxing in a separate video before this one. check it out if interested :)
Ótimo review, super detalhista. Sempre tenho curiosidade em saber como a guitarra é por baixo do escudo. Muito bom o seu review.
I love this strat
I got the black one with a rosewood neck, and I love it
nice choice!
Great color choice man
Thanks!
