General
In the past, Fender has always welcomed beginner guitarists to the family by offering several stylish entry-level guitars. There have been the Duo-Sonic, Mustang and Musicmaster models with their great sound, classic looks, reliable performance and affordable price tag. The Modern Player series builds on this 'my first Fender' tradition with Fender's most revered classic models, giving them a modern and slightly unconventional twist.
Fender Modern Player Telecaster Plus: unique classic
The Modern Player Telecaster plus, with its three pickups and pine body, is one of those rare birds among Telecasters: not only does it have a traditional Tele single coil near the neck but also a Strat style single coil in the middle position. It is near the bridge that you'll find the Modern Players fat humbucker for rougher guitaring. The humbucker can also be turned into a single-coil, for that tight and bright Telecaster twang. Just like the very first Telecaster (Esquire), this Modern Player Telecaster Plus has a pine body that is pleasantly lightweight and has a full sound with rich mids and tight bass sounds. The pine also has beautiful wood grain that is beautifully accentuated by the Honey Burst lacquer.
A real player with modern features
Despite its classic shape, the Fender Modern Player Telecaster Plus is a modern guitar. For instance, the maple neck has 22 large jumbo frets and a modern flat 9.5-inch fretboard radius, allowing for low action without making the strings hum. Additionally, the back of the body has a Strat style contour, which is a special slant that allows for more comfortable playing, whether you are sitting down or standing up. Because of the three pickups, the guitar is equipped with a five-position switch, which in combination with the master volume and tone control allows you to conjure up a wide array of different sounds. The bridge is a Strat-style hardtail with six adjustable saddles for optimal intonation and the strings-through-body design allows for more sustain and a more direct sound.

But I was blown away with the quality of the build and variety of sounds
Must say I was more than pleased with bax I ordered the guitar and was told it would be with me on the Tuesday I booked a day off work then had an email from bax due to the security crisis that it would not be with me until Wednesday so I contacted bax explained I had booked a day off work they told me they would get one to me on the Tuesday and they did well done
Excellent service
Service en communicatie met bax goed, zelfs rondom de drukke feestdagen!
De middle pickup kan goed worden gecombineerd met de neck pickup of de gesplitte humbucker voor een soortgelijke quack als de vintage in positie 2 en 4. De humbucker is binnen enkele dagen vervangen door een seymour duncan alnico pro II. De standaard humbucker was te slap naar mijn smaak. Nu is deze gitaar nog veelzijdiger geworden.
Wel moet ik zeggen dat ik geen fan ben van de pickup selector switch aangezien de oriëntatie hiervan differentieert met die van de strat of les paul. De 5way voelt ook aan of deze van lagere kwaliteit is en zal in de toekomst ook vervangen worden.
Wat erg wennen was voor mij was geen fretboard van bijvoorbeeld ebony of rosewood maar gewoon maple. In tegenstelling tot mijn les paul was boven de 12e fret spelen een grotere uitdaging terwijl er veel dikkere snaren zitten op de Epiphone. Verder kan deze gitaar niet met rust laten en hij klinkt er goed! Ik zou deze gitaar zeker aanraden aan anderen.
De gitaar moet nog worden afgesteld, de actie is bijv. te hoog, maar de diversiteit aan geluiden door de 3 verschillende elementen is geweldig! De looks zijn helemaal ok, de hals is wat glad, maar speelt verder prima.
Deze Modern Player heeft qua geluid duidelijk een meerwaarde ten opzichte van de 'gewone' strat die ik normaal gebruik. Kortom, prima aankoop voor een prima prijs.
Prima actie en veel mogelijkheden in geluid, om te soleren gaat mijn voorkeur uit naar combi mid en brugelementen, over mijn Marshall een prima geluid.
Speelde voorheen op een stratocaster maar nu is dit mijn nummer 1, Natuurlijk is er altijd muziek voor de stratocaster maar het merendeel klinkt op deze tele gewoon subliem.
Ben blij dat ik deze gekocht heb en dank aan het personeel in Goes voor de prettige begeleiding bij het uitproberen en de aanschaf.
Wil
Vandaag mijn nieuwe Fender Tele thuis gekregen met Marshall MG15CFX versterker.
Ziet er prachtig uit en heb al even geexperimenteerd wat de mogelijkheden zijn, genoeg dus.
Ik heb al ruim 10 jaar niet meer gespeeld, dus moet weer even wat oefenen.
Minpuntje: Was niet gestemd, misschien gebeurd dat ook wel niet vanuit de fabriek, de snaren hingen er slapjes bij. In de hoge e-snaar zat zelfs een knik. Bij nadere inspectie zag ik alle 3 de hoge snaren zelfs roest, je kon het voelen. Gelukkig had ik nog een zetje Fender snaren en heb die er maar opgezet.
Klinkt goed.
schitterende geluiden in de verscillende modes
mooie uitvoering, in het echt nog mooier dan op de foto
leuke honeyburst uitvoering
Door de combinatie van de elementen en de mini-toggle die de humbucker split zijn de mogelijkheden ongekend. Het is ook zeker de moeite waard om met de toonknop te experimenten om nog meer geluiden te ontdekken. Vooral de humbucker heeft een uitstekend geluid. De combinatie van Humbucker en strat-element is perfect voor Blues en BluesRock. De klank van het strat-element alleen is echter wel het zwakste punt van deze gitaar. Naar mijn smaak klinkt deze iets te dun. Al met al een echte allrounder, niet een gitaar waar de echte Fender-Twang vanaf springt maar zeer bruikbaar voor indie,pop, blues en rock.
De bespeelbaarheid is prima en de snaren kunnen met een heel lage action worden afgesteld zonder dat ze gaan rammelen. De hals is dun en snel.
De body is mooi verzorgd en de honeyburst afwerking is mooi en heeft afhankelijk van de lichtinval steeds een iets andere uitstraling.
De prijs/kwaliteitverhouding is dus dik in orde.
