Yeah the players are good

#

The question is is it good for you and what you want?

halcyon tangle
#

with better specs perhaps

jaunty monolith
#

As someone who owns a player series guitar, get something else

#

The pot metal rusts quickly, and you're paying an extra 300 dollars for a logo

halcyon tangle
#

that sounds like an issue of environment more than anything

jaunty monolith
#

Still. For 1000 dollars, you'd expect higher quality

#

A charvel for that price will be much higher quality

halcyon tangle
#

$649 on amazon

#

about what i paid

swift ember
#

I’m trying to play some Hendrix type or Floyd type stuff

#

I’ve heard the 60s type vibes are good

#

I mean do you guys have any recommendations that can play that kinda sound around that price

#

I mean It’s not exactly a requirement to be one, I just hear they are good and I thought I should get one

#

I am new to guitar if you cannot tell lol

halcyon tangle
#

yea that's fair

#

hendrix played a stratocaster

#

im surprised amazon as it at a good price

#

has some good pickups which are vintage inspired, they're usually about £240/$280 for a full set

#

in 3 different colours

#

I like that white one, they all look real nice though, are pickups hard to replace?

swift ember
#

What are the differences in the pickups?

halcyon tangle
#

probably better to hear a comparison

#

fat 50s are a bit more mellow

#

very vintage sounding

#

popular in fender's high end guitars

#

I could always go to guitar center and try one out

#

Fat 50s, custom shop 69s, or SSL-1s will do that strat sound

halcyon tangle
#

SSL-5 bridge is god_gasm

#

I was also considering Texas specials

#

Bc I am in texas

#

aerodyne strats are really cheap

#

for example

round stream
#

But also I’d look for one used cuz you’ll save a bit of money 🙂

#

I personally I think the squier cvs feel significantly cheaper than Player series I’ve tried

jaunty monolith
#

We both know it's not a thousand dollar guitar

#

We're getting a fender tax

round stream
#

Only freaks like us buy used gear

#

It’s cuz we are needs

#

Needs

#

Nerds

jaunty monolith
#

Most people are willing to pay that price bc of the logo. Not because of the quality

#

I bought it new, not used

#

That's why I'm upset, I know what I paid for it isn't what it's worth

round stream
#

I got mine new drying guitar a thon

#

Also it was 2019

#

So I spend like 550
