Whether you're in the market for your first Tele or another one to round out the herd, the Fender Player Plus Telecaster delivers outstanding tone, feel, and performance – all for less than U$D1,000, making it the first piece of gear featured in my #MustOwnGear video series! Cheers ~ Doug...

Fusing classic Fender® design with player-centric features and exciting new finishes, the Player Plus Telecaster® delivers superb playability and unmistakable style. Powered by a set of Player Plus Noiseless™ pickups, the Player Plus Tele® delivers warm, sweet Tele® twang – without hum.

The 12” radius fingerboard and 22 medium jumbo frets facilitate fluid leads and choke free bends. A modern 6-saddle Tele bridge with block steel saddles adds a touch of brightness while providing precise intonation and the locking tuners provide rock-solid tuning and make string changes quick and easy. With classic Fender style, advanced features and stunning new finishes, the Player Plus Telecaster is the perfect tool to spark your creativity and stand out from the crowd.

I bought one of these. I bought the silver smoke version and it’s completely awesome. It has become my “go to” guitar, cause you can literally play anything on it! I put a Vegatrem VT2 tremolo on it and now it’s perfect!

I've never met a telecaster I didn't like. And this one is absolutely no exception. Now if I could only play it like you, Doug :).

[mariacristinaadel]

The best player tele review thus far, especially the tone and sound you’ve created man, kudos to you. It made me decided to buy it already. Thanks for the excellent demo.

[benoezk]

I have the same one. I love it. For me it is the Mexican ultra.

[tendingtropic]

beautiful sounds and beautiful playing at 6.30 !

[westraweek]

I believe that this is one of the best done, most helpful and informative reviews I have ever seen.

[spaceberserker]

Just ordered mine today, this demo is awesome 👏🏻. You killed it bro.

[brucegraml]

Great video - Just made me order one ! Wicked solo at the end !

[liampoolefriends]

Fantastic video Doug, I agree best demo video out there. I have mine on order - I will be the first in New Zealand to own a Players Plus Cosmic Jade, she sure is a looker and sounds incredible too! Can't wait, it will also be my first Tele I've ever owned - excited!!

[karlschmidt]

Great playing and tones
I pick one up Friday :)

[fredstevens]

Great demo Doug! I just ordered one of these and you made me glad I did! Great shirt too...
cool that I caught the inaugural episode - can't wait for more!

[DigitalViperGaming]

Good stuff, Doug! I don't think I've ever even played a Tele in my 35+ years of playing guitar.

Sounds and looks fantastic, Doug! I love my '94 Tele, but it doesn't sound like that! And you are still one of the smoothest, most tasteful players I've ever heard. Cheers!

Great demo. Seems like a very versatile guitar. I hope you demo more guitars in this Fender collection.

[tblues]

Thanks for the sweet demo. Love the tone. Love the combinations. Pickups sound great. I really want to try a 12 inch radius neck. My Telecasters are 9.5. Love your sound and playing. But I will say that the first thing I do when I pick up my tele or any tele is to get that country twang out of the bridge and see how my chicken pickin sounds. Then I go to the neck pickup for some nice soft jazz tones. I’m sure this Player Plus would be great for both. Thank you.

I agree. After owning many teles, the player plus stands out. I have the Nashville. It does tele and more. The pickups are strangely good for noiseless.

[ferox]

I don't like strats and thought I didn't like Teles. I'm pretty much hot-wired to my Les Paul. But then I tried one of these. The only Tele I liked-even more than the expensive American ones. Picked up the Silver Smoke last night.

[austinwilkens]

Hey Doug! Subscribed! Such a thorough review and great textured playing. I appreciate the play through with some delay as I play worship music quite often and at church. Great work!

[headstockharem]

Sweet tones!
I just looked at that exact guitar yesterday in a local shop!

[paulrichard]

Thanks for the detailed review, Doug! All tones demo'd from each pickup selection sound AMAZING! I don't believe I would have a favorite pickup selection on this tele because the guitar sounds incredibly versatile with the gear used. And not a bad price on Sweetwater for the guitar. Looking forward to the next Must Own Gear video!
