Beautiful Guitar - Ready to play out of the box

Great price on this Fender Player I Telecaster!! Packed very nicely! Setup well. Smooth fret ends and string spacing. I am not an expert with guitars, but it plays well right out of the box with no additional setup planned other than adding a set of locking Fender tuners. VERY pleased with this purchase. I would buy from Adorama again given my good experience.

Awesome Fender

Cited when I received my fender telecaster Limited edition player guitar. I received it flawlessly with impeccable packing for shipping purposes. This is the second guitar that I've ordered from Adorama and wouldn't hesitate to buy another. Great job guys.

Beautiful Telecaster!

I couldn't be happier with the guitar I received. The finish is beautiful and even. Photos do not do the color justice; it is gorgeous. When people see my guitar for the first time, they invariably comment on how pretty the color is. My guitar had no scratches or paint anomalies. The knobs and the pickup selector switch are solid and operate smoothly. The neck and frets are smooth, and there is no fret buzz or sprouting. The tuners feel great. It played great right out of the box. I fell in love with this guitar the first time I strapped it on. The alnico pickups have the classic Tele sound, and it feels really comfortable to play. If I had it to do over, I would not hesitate to buy this guitar again. This was my first order from Adorama, and I was extremely pleased with the experience. My guitar was delivered one business day after I ordered it, and Adorama's communication was great. A rated the product 5 stars, and I would give 5 stars to Adorama, too.

Excellent Tele

Outstanding guitar and incredible value. I've been playing since the big hair 80s. I recently purchased this model from Adorama and it's fantastic. A little break in playing out of the box and some setup tweaks to your preference and you're ready to go. The fit and finish on the one I received was great. Item was well packaged by Adorama and shipped fast with tracking info. I would not hesitate to buy this item or to shop with Adorama. It was a pain free and professional experience.

Fantastic guitar... Great price!

Having owned other Player/Standard Telecaster in the past, I knew what to expect, and this guitar did not disappoint! Double boxed packing. Playable out of the box. But with a bit of a setup, this guitar turns into a fantastic guitar. Can't beat the price! Recommended!

Great value, sound and tone, just be aware its lighter in color than pictured.

This is a great telecaster, especially when Adorama has it on sale during the holidays. Neck is super nice, no fret sprout or roughness anywhere. Uses real deal CTS pots and quality switch and just has the classic tele tone. Only "knock" is that Lake Placid Blue from "Fender" is a lot lighter in color than Lake Placid Blue on a "Squire" the Squire is more of a dark blue that I like a lot better, where the Fender is more of a faded Lake Placid Blue. Still looks great, just prefer the darker shade on the Squier.

Player Tele - Love it !

I have a number classic guitars including my Rickenbacker, MIJ 1987 Strat, Les Paul, etc. Never owned a Tele but wanted one due to it?s unique ?Surf music? twang. This guitar sounds & plays just like the high-end Telecaster & was set-up so well it was a plug-n-play out of the box! Love it.

Nice guitar!

Nice guitar. This is the second one I purchased. The first one had a crack, and was very easy to return, which I appreciated. I?ll lower the action a little, but right out of the box, the intonation is correct, and the strings and fresh, and twangy. I?m very happy with this new telecaster. These Player Telecasters from Fender are really good. I?ve had several other Teles, both American made and MIM.

Excellent

An awesome deal on an awesome guitar. Out of the box the playability was relatively sub par. After filing the nut and making some adjustments on the neck tension and string height the thing plays like a dream. I also noticed that some of the laminate on the back of the guitar has already starting coming apart - some might be upset but I think it adds to the character of the instrument. I would recommend that you look at picking one of these up! The limited edition lake placid blue is gorgeous!

Player tele

Excellent fit and finish. The nut does need some filing as the G string goes a bit sharp on frets 1-5. I replaced the bridge with a fender 3 saddle. Great deal at the sale price.

First tele- no regrets at all

Love this Guitar!!! This is my first Tele after playing a strat for many years. Love the color- it does look different depending on the light. Plays great and the neck profile feels like a glove. Can?t beat this for the price and Adorama shipped it in not time flat- great overall experience. Highly recommend.

It wasn't so much the guitar itself that motivated my purchase, but the deal I got from Adorama that sealed my purchase. The initial purchase had a manufacturing defect, but Adorama processed an exchange. Love the guitar and the color.

Fender Player Series Telecaster in Lake Placid Blue for the win!

By James P.

Fantastic guitar for the money! The satin neck if very comfortable, the Alnico 5 pickups (Fender upgraded these when they came out with the Player series) sound almost identical to my American Standard model, and the Lake Placid Blue is beautiful. Some reviews complain about setup work being needed, but mine needed very little: a slight truss rod adjustment and set the intonation. I've played for 40+ years, and have had both cheap and non-cheap (but not high-dollar!) guitars. I can't imag...
