If you're not able to set it up yourself, just be aware that there's a small risk you may have to swap it out. If you always take a new guitar to a luthier to get it set up, or can do a basic setup yourself (a skill I highly recommend learning) don't worry about it.
The Player Telecaster has the six modern saddles that I prefer for better intonation, but purists might want the three brass saddles instead. For the latter, there's the Squier Classic Vibe 50s Tele which is $343 ($310 with Fender Play) for blonde and yellow at Fender's site right now, https://slickdeals.net/f/17087101-squier-classic-vibe-50-s-telecaster-vintage-blonde-344-or-310-with-fender-play . The CV will have a gloss neck instead of the Player's satin.
If there's fret sprout on arrival, I'd swap it for another at seller expense. That's a defect on a new guitar, although it may yet develop later, at which point it's not a defect. A setup might help (typically $50-$75 but YMMV or do it yourself) if you want the action lower, but that's a matter of taste.
I only wish they'd offer this price on one with the dark fretboard (pau ferro, laurel, rosewood, or the like).
