WHAT A GUITAR!!!
I can't believe the unmatched quality of every aspect of this new player series 2... has a beautiful darker stained maple neck than the original player which makes it look more high end. But with the rolled fretboard, the special kind pickups they have created that have the humbucker beef with the classic fender brightness and clarity still there somehow. That and the upgraded classic tuners which hold great. This does every kind of genre you could think of, and it does it in its own unique and somehow perfect way make thisngui feel like an american version. It's like a fender les paul, and it doesn't have the darkness of a les paul, maybe because of the mahogany vs the Woods fender use, or just the way its voiced, whatever it is it has a clarity and brightness that a les paul doesn't. A les paul may be more creamy but you can dial that in easily with the tone knob on the fender. I love it, and it's my no.1 guitar for everything!!
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Neck and fingerboard/frets are so well rounded and smooth. Very very meticulous job done on every part of the guitar. Amazing slightly overwound but lower output classic PAF style, absolutely gorgeous sounding pickups. Good enough for recording easily and live for sure. It just feels like a guitar 3-4 times it's value. Just sublime!
