For 2018, Fender has replaced its made-in-Mexico Standard Series with the upgraded Player Series, and we secured three of the new models - the Stratocaster, Telecaster and Jaguar - for an in-depth demo.
In the clip, Michael Astley-Brown and Simon Arblaster run through the new features found on the trio, including Alnico pickups and satin-finished maple necks, demonstrating their range of tones with clean and dirty sounds.
Gear used: Vox AC15, Fender Santa Ana Overdrive
