This is one of the instrument line launches of all time... Got my grandma on speed dial, call it Instagram: / tucktuckfloof Support the Channel! Patreon: patreon.com/user?u=112076445&... Venmo: @tucktuckfloof
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
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
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?
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.
@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.
