Player Series Could Use More Colour for 2019/2020

I do myself own a Player Series Telecaster in ButterSctoch Blonde which is Amber . Photo here : https://ibb.co/io73sK

Colors which are now are really cool i think Tidepool tele is my favourite even if i have picked up a BSB time ago.

We have thread at Tele Page about it http://www.tdpri.com/threads/player-ser ... 20.867091/

# Darker Candy Apple Red or some dark Cherry Red and Maple Neck (white pickguard)

# Seafoam Blue/Green Maple neck or Pau Ferro (white pickguard)
# Aqua Blue and Maple neck ( https://paper-tree.com/products/aqua-si ... or-premium white pickguard
# Buttercream tele , White pickguard and Maple neck
# Purple Burst , Black pickguard and Pau Ferro


Hey Fender Folks you read forums time to time :D ?

Well it is butterscotch colour but I agree it isn't a classic translucent finish. This is most likely because the bodies will be made up of multiple pieces of poorly figured unmatched timber.

With regard to the other colours they are all a matter of personal taste. Any manufacturer/dealer is likely to be conservative over something which could dramatically impact on sales. They don't want guitars hanging on pegs for years that ultimately have to be outed at a massive discount just to move them.

Fender trades on their heritage (hence the butterscotch colour) and a great many buyers will be into that vibe. If the potential buyer was less conservative they would be looking at less conservative brands, of which there are many at the price point of a Player. In short, Fender aren't going to offer a Player telecaster in anything but a conservative traditional colour for fear of it being left on the shelf.

Purple burst LMAO.

Purple Burst would be much tasty with a figured maple top. :idea:

Player Pluses in such colour would be a treat. :)

The finish they now call Buttercream would be cool w/maple neck.
