So my "new" Player Series was apparently pulled from way back on the warehouse shelf, as it's a 2018 serial, with the "problem child" bridge saddles.
Fender told me I had to bring it to an authorized repair center...nah...I went ahead and put a vintage style Fender bridge with compensated brass saddles
Also put the electrosocket style jack cup on there...had to remove the lock-washer to get it far enough out to use a 90' cable though, hopefully it won't spin itself out.
So far so good!
Got her all set back up and intonated. Everything is dead on, except of course my D is slightly sharp at the 12th in order to have my G perfectly intonated. It's good enough for my ear, and worth the trade off for the vintage look. Also notice it's quite a bit louder and clearer when played unplugged, which is nice.
Enjoying this Tele very much!
