Amazon has a few Fender Player Plus models on sale. In some cases they're less expensive than the standard player line. So far I've found:

Player Plus Nashville Telecaster (Opal Spark) [amazon.com] for $799.49 (MSRP $1,129.99) Expired, now $992.07

Player Plus Nashville Telecaster (Aged Candy Apple Red) [amazon.com] for $855.13 (MSRP $1,129.99) NLA

Fender Player Plus Telecaster (Cosmic Jade) [amazon.com] for $776.10 (MSRP $1099.99) Expired, now $1099.99

Fender Player Plus Telecaster (3-Color Sunburst) [amazon.com] for $752.49 (MSRP $1099.99) -Now $714.87 > now $681.89

Fender Player Plus Stratocaster (Opal Spark) [amazon.com] for $815.04 (MSRP $1099.99) NLA

The Player Plus series differs from the Player series in that the guitars have:
  • Noiseless pickups
  • Locking tuners
  • 12" neck radius
  • Rolled fret edges
For me, these are all advantages. However, fans of vintage Fender guitars -- especially models with 7.5" radius necks -- might not like the modern neck of the Player Plus series.

I'm 99% sure that I've missed a few Player Plus models that are also on sale. Kindly leave a comment if you've found additional ones.

These guitars shipped and sold by Amazon, with Amazon customer service.

since this happens "all the time" according to you, why don't you post some friend's numbers so we can all get artist pricing

the Player series is irrelevant to this post since these are all Player Plus models.

the "history" is pretty short considering these models have been available for about a year. SD shows one Player Plus post in the same price range.

i'm still waiting for you to show how these deals happen "all the time," as you've said. for some reason, you won't or can't do that.

12" radius neck is definitely a selling point for those that prefer a modern feel. there are some other differentiators, some objectively better and others that are subjective. they include:


Modern C neck: definitely a subjective preference
Rolled frets: objectively a nicer feature and requires more labor
Locking tuners: certainly more expensive and most find them useful for string changes
Noiseless pickups: some people find them a bit flat, while others think they sound good. most think that the noiseless pickups on the American Ultra series are better.
Push-pull pot: on the Player Plus Strat it adds the neck pickup to the first and second positions, while on the Player Plus Tele is puts the two pickups in series. it's never bad to have more sound options.
Satin fingerboard finish: the Player finish is gloss, while Player Plus is satin. this one is subjective.
USA string trees: these are better than the Mexican string trees on the Player
Block saddles: these are better than the bent saddles on the Player
Gig bag: this is include with the Player Plus and not the Player


i'm probably missing a few things, but those are the Player Plus vs. Player differences i can remember.

Never had a Squirel or MIM, and probably won't own a USA again with all the increases.

If it is, then I'm "buying the dip." It's $635 now and I don't want to risk missing out like I did on the Nashville Tele (which was probably for the best, as I think I prefer the traditional setup).

FWIW, I have a player tele and strat that I ended up keeping over their player plus counterparts. I found the player plus models had worse fret leveling and I couldn't stand the fretboard finish. Great guitars otherwise. Locking tuners and rolled edges are nice. 12" radius, noiseless pickups, and the satin fretboard finish are specs that are less objectively better and more about what your preferences are. This is a good price if the specs appeal to you, but if you haven't tried it in person just know you might end up liking the Player models better.

Quote from r.pad :
right, except this isn't 15 to 20. these deals are 25% or higher. Fender MSRP on the Player Plus Tele is $1,099, while the Nashville is $1,129 as per Fender's website. additionally, these are discounts you can definitely get, as opposed to spending time calling retailers for a discount you may or may not get.

my point was saying this was a "meh" deal and telling people to make phone calls or use artist discounts most of us don't have access to isn't helpful.
Yes i would confirm this!, been purchasing guitar's for the past year , MF, SW, zzounds,etc
I always contact the sales thru phone But I swear 20% is never ever happened to me : ) i would say based on my experiences 15% is the Top. for accessories 20 or even 25% based on spending its likely happen. with that being said $600-700 both Tele and Tele Nashville are NiceDeal!
