Good Day folks. One of the reasons I joined today was to get opinions on the new Player Plus Telecasters, made in MX.
Now I do own an American Standard Strat and a couple US made Gibsons and acoustics so usually when I pick most of the imports they just don't feel as good to me but I was checking out a new Player Plus Tele today and it seemed like a pretty nice guitar. It has the locking tuners and noiseless pick-ups and the contoured body like a Strat, witch I like. It was $1099 with a bag.
Unfortunately I didn't have time to plug it in or play it much but I may go back and do that tomorrow. I guess my main question is if there is a difference in the quality of the pick-ups and hardware on the imports these days or is it all the same?
Now at the same time there is an American Deluxe locally on craigslist for $1400 that has a hard case and all the papers. From what I can see in the pictures it's in nice shape with a couple of chips down to wood around the edges.
Ether way I think it's inevitable that there is going to be a Telecaster in the heard hear sometime soon, I just can't decide witch one.
Thanks for any input
Rick
