What the hell?

Congratulations go out to Todd Krause, Fender's Employee of the month for September...

Does "classic player series" mean really expensive?

I'd be interested in hearing what sounds that third pickup brings to the fray, but I think I can live without it.

I've had my eye on the Modern Player Tele ever since I played one at a Guitar Center a few weeks ago.

Do we really need three Tele bridge pickups in one guitar?

The crack works for me. Brad can get his own.

I wouldn't mind demo'ing one to see what it sounds like. I'll leave the crack at home.

Like just about ever three-pickup ever, needs to be modded to bring in the bridge pickup so you can have neck and bridge... I don't understand why this isn't done all the time.

Middle pickup failboat

Since they've obviously run out of ideas on how to regurgitate strat and tele concepts they should start putting six strat pickups in parallel, one in line with each string.

That is a TINO. Tele In Name Only. o_O

 

[Denverdave]

Don't like that one....nope.

I like it. That would be like Carvin pickups squared!

Ah, the Gillette method.

It must be three times as good as a traditional Tele which suffers from only having 1 bridge pickup.

 

[bsman]

I've always rather fancied the Nashville teles -- they actually sound quite good -- but I don't get the Classic Player take. One bridge PU per guitar is enough for me, thank you!

Hey boss, whuh dooya want I should do wit deez 10,000 brawcastah pickups?

 

[Elias Graves]

You guys got it all wrong.
This is for the player who thrashes so hard his pickups can't take it and give up.
You see, he can give each pickup a rest after every song so they don't get so tired. Now his tele can make it through a whole show without a pickup failure.
It's genius, really. Well done, Fender. Well done. Finally a company that listens to the needs of the players.
