Hello,
I'm for long eyeing getting a Fender to fulfill my dream of owning a Fender, after 16 years of playing various cheap guitars I wonder about buying this one, but it's not exactly cheap so I wonder, should I really consider it? Are there traps involved? I tried one in a local music store and it felt fantastic, but sounded average, but then again it was on some weird digital amp... What to do?

Nah
My advice don’t dream about owning a BRAND of guitar. Dream about a certain guitar
arctic plaza
😦 yeah makes sense
unreal grove
Also yeah the Player II is not that great
uncut tinsel
the fender player II is a good guitar imo, is better than the player I and it's close than ever to an american version... If you compare it to 2,- 3 thounsad dollar guitar of course it wouln't compare, but it's good for what is advertised for

I can attest that player II is on par with american but with an amazing price. If you go to reverb you can easily get a mint one for ~6-700. I actually ordered a used one but the shop sent me a new one for the same $200 off price since the used one had already sold

I agree with this, the Player II feels pretty good and arguably close to an authentic american made
huge improvement in the second iteration, idk about any quality variations, but was pretty good to me

no.....
please explain your thought process here, Fender Standard (in its current iteration) came out this year. it’s coming out of the same factory as the Squiers
tender totem
no the squiers are a rebranded fender standard line
not remotely true, but sure
solid mantle
no the squiers are a rebranded fender standard line
Honestly, saying squier is just a rebranded fender standard is a bit of a stretch. Squier is a completely separate line designed for a more budget friendly option. It’s like calling a cheaper lookalike watch the similar Rolex just because it looks similar. Sure, they share some features, but the quality, materials, and craftsmanship are on a whole different level.

squier is owned by fender meaning they are brothers in a certian way the share the same pickups same build quality and tremolo system is the same and ive compared it to a real fender strat, gretsch duo jet and a sg they are the same each way around
the only diffrence is price and the name
solid mantle
Yes that is what i said, it is a separate line. However what you said was that it is a rebranded fender standard which is not true
Its just like gibson and epiphone

The Squier Stratocaster is essentially a more budget-friendly version of the iconic Fender Stratocaster.
1 Fender actually owns Squier, so it's just a copy. 1Think of it like a car company making a less expensive model of one of their popular cars. Squiers use the same materials and are made in same factories. they feel and sound as a high-end Fender, they are still a great way to get that classic Strat look and vibe without breaking the bank
should i keep explain my self even more or have i done enough

Squier models were first announced in 1982 whilst the first fender standard was introduced 1987

not made in the same factory, or with the same materials.
until like a month ago, Fender was either Mexican, American or Japanese (not including modern player series)
Fender Standard is just Squier with Fender on the headstock. cheaper parts made in a cheese country.
Squier was initially just their Japanese export line, only later did it become just a cheap version of the Fender brand
