Exceptional value imo. Regarding the law of diminishing returns I don't see why I'd spend 5 or 6 bills more for the non MIM Fender. This is a quality for cost instrument. Fender has done a great job w their MIM line.
It came well packaged. Mine is Polar white. I didn't attach the tremelo bar for these pics. The case is my old fender case not to confuse anyone it didn't come with the guitar.
Every aspect of it is 100%. The finish is perfect and it's incredibly beautiful. Everything is set up to play. Neck is straight, frets seem fine. Bridge is floated and she seems to hold pitch but I only do mild dives at best.
Over-all I'm very happy, not one imperfection. And it sounds great so far. For now my old MIM is my player. This one I'll work in slowly. I'll know in time if I need to tweak anything but so far she seems great.

Fender guitar lover! Great Color & feel. Faulty electronics. Poor quality control.
Love the Capri color! The Body and neck feel great too. Only the electronics cut in and out and can only be heard at low volumes, when and if they do work. So low of volume that it is not usable. Usually they do not work at all when plugged in. It appears that the electronic assembly was done pretty poorly for this to occur. First time I have experienced this in one of our Fender guitars. It also came with a small indentation on the lower front side of the body. Which I can somewhat overlook. But the faulty electronics build is not easily overlooked. The saddles were not setup at all, nor the neck adjusted. A few sharp frets, but still playable. I wasn't expecting a "project guitar". There will have to be some trouble shooting and repairs and/or parts replacements done to make it truly playable. As well as doing a full reset, saddle setup, fret filing, and neck adjustment. For a Fender "Player" it is not a player right out of the box. My expectations have been lowered. Poor quality control.

It's a beautiful guitar. Came shipped with the Fender box in a larger box to keep it safe. No issues with blemishes or fret buzz or sprout. The fretboard is very glossy and sealed (I'll see if this ends up being too sticky and needs to be buffed out). Intonation is good out of the box. Neck is straight. All the signs of a good guitar arriving ready to play. I just had to let it acclimate and tune the strings.
I have a '96 MIM strat I bought new in a music shop that I've been playing for 25+ years. They play and sound nearly identical. The '96 is a bit louder, and has the pickups set closer to the strings. I may play around with the pickup height on this new guitar to get more punch.
The biggest difference between the 2 is that the newer Player Strat's knobs look cheaper. The ones on my '96 have a green patina (maybe from copper in the paint?), and just look more crisp.
Overall, good quality and arrived ready to play!
