Nice guitar, bad quality :(
What should I say? Fender doesn't care about quality. Buy Fender guitar only if you want a Fender guitar, like me. I was dreaming about Telecaster for a long time, finally bought it and was a little bit disappointed about the current Fender quality. My next guitar 100% won't be from Fender!
The first time it came (not from Thomann) with broken bridge pickup. I don't know how three guys (assembler, tuner and QA (SIC!)) didn't notice this. Fortunately I was able to get money back and ordered the same model (yes, I just wanted Fender Telecaster) from Thomann.
This time both pickups work. But there are a lot of small details which shows that company doesn't care about customers. On the first guitar the plastic cover was fixed a little bit out of the place so it had a bulge in the middle. On the current one the bulge is smaller but still exists. Also the quality of plastic should be better for 740 EUR guitar as for me.
The height of strings doesn't tuned well so have to fix it by myself. And a foam seen under strap locks which is acceptable on cheap guitars but not on Fender Telecaster.
So I would say unfortunately this Player Series looks like cheap guitars with Fender logo and Fender electronics. Sound is good, overall look is great, quality is bad :(

remarcable poor qc
returned the very next day I received it...
frets looked like they were cut with a chopping knife, seems like they tried to cut it once, didn't quite go throught, then they tried cutting again, this resulted in sharp double edges at the end of the frets. they tried hiding it by filling with what seemed like paint?!
body finish was pretty bad as well, chipped paint at the neck pocket.
i've seem £200 chinese guitars with better finish than this one.
