Topic: Fender Modern Player and customer reviews

OK 
after going through hundreds of posts and trying to search - I have given up. 

I thought it was Dino or Russell that got a new Fender modern player charcoal color guitar.

I ws looking at them on musicians friend site and they have then with no NYS sales tax and was actually considering getting one.

However as I was reading reviews  I rllaized that about half the reviews were the same for these guitars as many of the other guitars.  WTF is that - do they have people that just write reviews for theses places ?  I have come to the conclusion that  reviews online are pretty useless.  Guess I just have to go to a guitar shop and play one.

Russell and Dino - if it was you, do you like yours ? I remember one of you telling me you got yours for $ 299 or something rediculous  , now it's  selling for $ 499

I purchased a Fender Modern player tele and absolutely love it!! when they first advertised them I spoke with my sales rep at Sweetwater I have an account there and he told me about the new tele and they were selling for $299.00 he offered me a demo model with a nick on the back for $260.00 it stlll had all the plastic stretch wrap on it so I jumped on it all I can say is it is featured in several of my videos on you tube now I have three favorites my Les Paul the Modern Tele and my new Fender Squire. The Modern Tele has a fantastic neck and the tuners are excelllent it stays in tune and I bend the bjesus out of the strings I wish you lived near me I would let you play it but if you can find one at a music store try it out! you may find a demo somewhere for less you never know but from me I can only say it is a fantastic guitar. hope this helps smile
This will give you an idea of the sounds the Modern player tele puts out (listen with earphones it sounds better) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gv-AkUyz9is
