Fender Player Plus Nashville Telecaster - Opal Spark
Fender
Fender was founded in 1946 by Clarence Leonidas ‘Leo’ Fender. Their first guitar, the Telecaster, became a huge success, and they started producing other similarly popular models, like the Stratocaster and the Precision Bass. Nowadays Fender has a huge assortment of different basses and guitars, with different sounds, colours, and prices, so that they have something for everyone. Consequently, they remain one of the most popular guitar brands today!
The Player Series
Fender developed the Player series specifically for beginning musicians and musicians with a relatively low budget. The Fender Player guitars and basses are made in Mexico and measure up to Fender’s American-made guitars quite well. The instruments are also very versatile and are even suited for recording and gigs. The Player guitars are thus more affordable versions of the popular Fender models. Consequently, they also feel and sound like a Fender guitar. However, the Player models are relatively standard, Fender did not add any unique modifications or special additions to the guitar. All models have Alnico pickups and are available in different colours.
The Fender Player Plus Nashville Telecaster Opal Spark
The Player Plus Nashville in Opal Spark is a creative version of the legendary Telecaster. This Telecaster does indeed contain the typical Telecaster sound, like that beautiful warm twangy sound, but it also has a Stratocaster function. The tone knob has a push/pull system with which you can easily transform your Telecaster into a Stratocaster. Consequently this means you will have two guitars in one! Furthermore, all pickups have a no-hum system. Single-coil pickups are notorious for their humming sound. This is because single-coils do not have a magnetic circle which means they can pick up other signals. Fender wasn’t satisfied with this, so they developed no-hum single-coils, which are single-coil pickups that do not hum when they are being used, even with a lot of distortion and/or overdrive. Additionally, the guitar itself is also made of high quality materials. The guitar has an alder body and a maple neck. Alder is light yet strong and maple is insanely comfortable to play and has a classic look. This is complemented by the Opal Spark finish, which also gives the guitar a vintage appearance. The Fender Player Plus Nashville Telecaster is thus the ideal Telecaster for the versatile guitarist!
