Telecaster Electric guitar with two humbuckers from the Fender Player Series
The Fender Player Series 2018 takes its place as the standard base range, providing reliable and competitive instruments for musicians looking for the sound and quality the company have become synonymous with. Represented within the Player Series are the following models in various configurations: Stratocaster, Telecaster, Jaguar & Jazzmaster guitars and Precision, Jazz & Jaguar Basses.
The Fender Player Series Telecaster PF SRD (HH) is the 2018 standard version of the original 6-string electric guitar produced at Fender, and one of the world’s most played guitars. Incredibly versatile instruments, Telecasters have been used to create a huge range of music, from Country to Punk.
The Player Series Telecasters feature 2x Player Series Alnico 2 Humbucking pickups and a 3-position switching blade. A 6-Saddle String-Through-Body Tele bridge with bent-steel saddles and synthetic bone nut ensure tuning stability during play, and the tone vibrates throughout an Alder body with a gloss polyester finish.
The main features of the Fender Player Series Telecaster PF SRD (HH) include:
6-String Electric Guitar
Body: Alder
Neck: Maple
Fingerboard: Pau Ferro
Bridge: 6-Saddle String-Through-Body Tele with Bent Steel Saddles
This is a great guitar, and well set up out of the box. I didn't notice any pain points, like sharp frets on the bottom of the neck as described in other reviews (not on this website). The guitar was playable straight away, even though the factory strings are way too light for my liking and style. A proper set up will be coming soon though, but I was delighted to give it a good try as is when I received it. The only thing I'm not too fond of is the pau ferro fingerboard, it looks a bit cheap. Otherwise, great sounds can be obtained from the pick-ups, both in series and parallel modes, and the color scheme looks really nice. I'm not a guitarist for starters, I'm a bassist, so I don't really know if these would compare to "real" telecasters with dual single coil pickups. I do find there's some twang though in series mode on the bridge pickup. First time I ever buy a guitar brand new, and I don't regret it one bit!

The guitar is great - sounds awesome, as is expected from Fender Telecaster.
Craftsmanship and packaging however could be better. I had some minor bumps and scratches on the fretboard and headstock. Maybe due to inefficient packaging and careless shipping.
