COMMENTS
Do not confuse this made in Mexico Strat with the Custom Shop Classic Player
Early models had dated and "AY" signed pickups (but not Abigail Ybarra hand wound)
Illustrated Price Lists until 2011 show, incorrectly, headstock without any string tree
Replaced by Vintera '60s Stratocaster Modified
FENDER SAYS
The Classic Player ’60s Stratocaster combines classic design with contemporary upgrades appealing to guitarists everywhere at all levels. Designed by Fender Custom Shop Master Builder Greg Fessler, it offers classic and contemporary elements with 1960s-era Strat style and fine features such as custom ’69 pickups with modern switching, the comfortable feel of a modern neck profile and flatter rosewood (or Pau Ferro, N.t.R) fingerboard, classic two-point synchronized tremolo bridge and much more.
