Great Product for this price point. I always wanted a tele and I'm glad I made this purchase. Guitar is comfortable to play. The Sunburst color is beautiful (a bit darker than the actual picture). Set up to play right out of the box. I will likely change the Humbucker to one of my liking, although this one is good.

As always Musicians Friend delivered a great product. Believe what you read in these reviews. It's that good.

This guitar has such a wide range of tone control with the pickup configuration. If you're looking for an inexpensive Fender & already like Telecasters, this one is worth trying out! I'm keeping mine, Thank You.

Love this guitar. Looks, sounds and plays great. Very unique and interesting pickup configuration with seven different possible combinations. You can have that great country twangy sound or a biting rock sound.

Got another super deal one of these from MF. All I can say its...it is an amazing fun axe to play. The neck is to die for and the tonal spectrum is amazing. Tons of sounds available with the three pick up set-up. The only sound you really have a problem with, is the traditional Tele sound. If that's what you want...get a standard tele. The beauty of this axe is great playability, great sounding pick ups, and....it has a belly cut like a Stat. Just a blast and look at that price. The finish will blow you away and mine was pretty much set up to play out of the box. Like any axe, a pro set up makes a world of difference. So if you are not hung up on must-having the standard "twang" of a Tele, pick up the phone and get one now. A really super value. Unlike the other big guitar company that tries to sell you half finished scrap wood in hopes you will be suckered in by having that logo (now cheap silkscreen), This Fender, made overseas is a really nice finished and super playable guitar. You do not have to spend thousands to get a good axe. Really, do yourself a favor and check one out.

I picked this awesome Gem up the other day at my Music Store and instantly knew I had to have it ! Things I'm really picky about is smooth frets , fast neck , no electronic noise from input Jacks . Well to be honest I'm a picky son of a gun but anyhow I really only found one problem I had with it and that is the Humbucker was a way to Bright when split but this actually ended up a good thing because it a really easy fix. Take the tone knob and turn it all the way down and then just slightly back up like an 1/8 of a turn and then turn your amp gain up and you got yourself a nice standard tele in the bridge sound for chicken picking. If you unsplit the coil just turn tone knob back up

I went to a local big market store to find a standard tele for playing out. The neck of the Standard and the American Standard I tried didn't feel like my old tele or my Ultra Strat. I picked up the Modern Player Tele Plus and it felt like home.
Plugging it in I liked the wide variety that the five position switch and the three very different pickup gave. After two days I gave in brought up Musicians Friend and ordered it.
The packing in the box was so good that when I took it out I put a tuner on it and it was still in tune. True. I inspected it and found it to be exactly as the inspection ticket hanging on it said.
Let me tell you about the neck. It is so much like my 1955 tele you wouldn't believe it. Same heavy finish and shape. Even the tuners are exact.
The body is not your average pine. This is dense and when played without an amp placing your ear to the body has a crisp clear sound like maple or real good ash. Not muddy like a lot of guitars do. I plugged it in and beautiful in every aspect. The setup is do good that you can play from bottom to top with ease.
I truly believe that Fender will up the price on these beauties they are better than any MIM and a few of the American Made guitars. I will play this stock on stage with anyone.
I consider this the best value for a guitar in many, many years. Don't wait.

The first thing you notice about this guitar is the great looks.The finish is flawless. The next thing I noticed was the quality of the hardware. The tuners are classic. I have Strats that are 40 years old with the same tuners , and have never had any problems with them, or needed to replace them. The neck pocket is as tight as any of the vintage Fender products that I own.The bridge looks like an American standard to me. The jumbo frets are finished perfectly. The tone and volume knobs, and the pickup switch are "beefy" , not at all like the flimsy ones on the Tele Squire that I bought a few years back.The maple neck is flawless. The nut width is perfect for me, as is the neck shape, radius and width.Most Teles aren't known for big string bends, but this one handles a full step bend just fine. When I think of a pine body , I think of the stack of two by fours at the local lumber yard. The body used to make the guitar that they sent me is nothing like that.Really dense, with a real tight grain. The shaved back makes it a very comfortable guitar to hold. The pickups have a lot of power , and give you a lot of tonal options.The neck pup gives the warm , clean bluesy sounds, the middle pup gives a 70s classic rock sound, and the bridge pup gives you lots of crunch. The bridge pup loses a lot when split, but raising it with the adjustment screws takes care of those issues.I have been playing since G strings were wound, and have been looking for a guitar that I could pack to a gig that would allow me to play anything from Roy Buchanan , to Dire Straits, to Otis Rush, and this is as close as there is. Don't let the "Made in China" sticker scare you. So are smart phones, pads and flatscreens. This is a quality guitar.

As soon as I hit the first chord I fell in love with this guitar. Set up right out of the box was perfect,m/jumbo frets and neck shape was great and the craftmanship is very good. HSS pickups give a world of variety in tones and all of them great. At this price, if you only own one guitar, this should be it.

This is a really good guitar for the money. On the plus side: looks great, good feel, easy to play, surprisingly great tone from pine body, and I like the pick up configuration. Great sound for slightly overdriven garage blues/rock (with both a Marshall CF30 and Excelsior). Fantastic starter or second guitar, however, I feel like a serious musician would want a little more refinement.

Only two real complaints, first, the body is pine, which sounds surprisingly good, but is a soft wood and makes me nervous about bumping the neck or strap mounts. Second, I get some minor fret buzz and don't seem to be able to correct it. For a lot of the lofi garage blues/rock I play it's no big deal, but still an issue.
