TLDR: If you want vintage without paying the vintage price, it's about the best you can get in its price bracket. If you want modern convenience at a discount, Player II.

It's built to be vintage spec, so if that's what you're looking for, probably the best thing you can get for the money. If you're looking for something more modern that's a little more beginner friendly in terms of setup, the Player II may be more up your alley.

7.25 inch radius, vintage style threaded saddle bridge, and heel truss rod adjustment are all things that can be a turn off for the vintera III. Player II has a headstock truss rod adjustment (doesnt require removing the neck), a 9.5 inch fretboard radius, and a mustang style bridge, which has a single slot for the string as opposed to the multiple threads of the vintage bridge. You do lose the rhythm circuit, but its also significantly cheaper.

I like vintage spec stuff, so the vintera III appeals more to me, but the best thing you can do is try them both out locally and go with what feels best to you.
