Fender Player Telecaster® (Polar White)

Preamble
Now that the made-in-Mexico Standard Series has been phased out, Fender's introduced the "Player Series" (also MIM). For today's post, we'll take a look at a Polar White Fender Player Telecaster with a Pau Ferro fretboard (#0145213515). It's come in for a switch to 10s and setup. Before we take a look at some specs (courtesy of Fender and Swee Lee); do check out this Dawsons Music YouTube Review of a similar Fender Player Series Telecaster PF (albeit in 3-Color-Sunburst).
