All user reviews of 4/5 for the Fender Classic Player '60s Stratocaster

Strat made in Mexico typical config.
The bridge is a two item Vintage.

UTILIZATION

Overall very nice guitar playing.
It is well balanced, the handle is a real treat.

SOUNDS

The is the strong point of this strat.
It sounds awfully good.
The pickups are custom 69 for many.
Very versatile, I can play a little every style and rendering is superb on my vox amps.

OVERALL OPINION

I recently but honestly, it's the best strat on which I played.
I had a lot of guitars and I'm getting a little experience.
There are some years I had a Southwestern standard appears to be a toy next.
Everything is good quality, electronics, instrument making, wood.
I removed the pickguard when changing strings and quality of welds and components is very satisfactory.
I intended to buy one because I kept us bad memories of my standard.
I do not regret my choice, also if I had known, I would have bought before !!!!!
I think to keep a good time so I'm enjoying it.

Mexico.
Very pale blue body, rosewood fingerboard almost flat. 3 single vintage.
Ping vintage mechanical.
For complete description, go to any site.
Perfect finish.
Cover "luxury" rather limited. (= Cheap) but it's better than nothing.
I do not like the truss-rod body under the open side pickgard. It is impossible to optimize.

UTILIZATION

The guitar is pretty heavy to me. (Much more than my RF1000 LAG Roxane). Otherwise it is very enjoyable to play, vibrato is top, the mechanics are very good agreement despite their vintage config. It acts as a stratum, for my part, fairly flat key is fine with me.

SOUNDS

It sounds very well already empty. Very powerful, very funky / country.
Once connected: low output, very clear sound slamming, the sound stratum in its glory on the first 4 positions, especially positions mixed beautiful. Sorry, I do not like the sound of the pickup, regardless of the setting of the amp. A little too bright without being niaque should compensate. I did not find any good use.
Overall, clear sound perfect, especially with a little chorus or phaser. Crunch sound pretty good. In distortion, nothing very convincing. (I play on Laney VC15, BB preamp and Zvzex Distortron). But for everything else, this guitar is worth a visit for 10 times the price.
Attention, the shield of the cavities is to make it much buzz except on the intermediate positions, and it is better to keep hold of the ropes.

OVERALL OPINION

3 months of use.
Likes: the look, character, fun to play, his funky / blues / country, or light crunch, finish, vibrato, the key with her big landmarks, the first 4 positions of the selector, the value for money.
I dislike: the cover, the weight, the total lack of electrical insulation, the trussrod, micro acute; the sound distortion.

Start Made in Mexico in 2009 bought the same year in version 3 tone sunburst

- Body 2-piece alder beautiful sunburst finish,
- Tremolo has two anchor points as the US Start with vintage bridge,
- C maple neck with rosewood fingerboard

Micro Flatwound 69 'singlecoil good quality slecteur 5 positions, 1 volume and 2 CTS CTS DTMF

Pais and high-gloss finish on any guitar, is more compared to US

UTILIZATION

The handle is enjoyable trs, trs fluid but my taste a bit flat. The game is easy

The guitar is not equilibrated heavy (not like the Les Paul) is a stratum.

Cot's, there is a severe lack of punch / output gain, I saw that my three micro taient all polaris South, or lack of gain, because the micro environment must have a reversed polarity To create an effect hambucker.

The sound remains as trs same clean, but lacking in characters, or some of the versatility of this guitar.

SOUNDS

Guitar sounds fairly versatile but lack of characters, with an output level trs not important, lack of punch

with rglages on offer you a wide range of sounds available

Micro Bridge may be deaf, grsillard in gnral,

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1year 1 / 2, I waited to post this time limit to have an opinion as objective as possible.

In my case, I am pleased (more than my jazz bass US) pay the price because the quality is superb, of course, if you choose this MODEL, it is a little more hp re than others, but worth the cost.

Take the time to choose it as a business can be a real

*** Overall, it's a good investment for a trs confirm beginners ***

and if in time you change your opinion, try to replace your pickups custom shop for us, is it will make you a guitar trs good quality compared to uses and not for CHRE.

In addition, US MODELS standards are not as good finish as the Mexican.

It's rare, but for once I was not much blame the guitar (at least mine)

This guitar is a sweet looking guitar. The vintage parts that dress the front look spectacular! The vintage pick guard and tuners are a nice touch to this guitar. The only problem is that its made in Mexico. So the build quality it going to be not quiet as good as the US made. Either way it will be cheaper in price and the look is really what separates this guitar from the others.

I am a fan of the relic vintage look on guitars. Though this one is not relic-ed it does have a certain swagger that gives it a nice appeal to a lot of people. I think you can overlook the place it was built for the shear appeal of the this guitar's cosmetics.

SOUNDS

This guitar sound pretty good in most music styles. You won't get this guitar to sound good in any lower than a whole step down. Anyone who plays lower tuner guitars already knows this. I would however replace the pickups in this guitars. These Fender pickups are just garbage and not one of Fender's strong suits. I would probably replace these with some seymour duncan's or Lindy Fralin's.

This guitar sounds great with a solid Fender amp. You get a good combination with the this setup. I know these guitars are tuned to their amps and visa versa so it is natural that hooking up a nice Fender Twin Reverb would sound very pleasant.

OVERALL OPINION

At new these guitars come in at around $799, which isn't a bad price for a col looking guitar. If you can get over the feel of a Mexican made guitar than you will get along with this unit.

I would recommend this guitar to anyone who doesn't care where their Fender is made or the feel so much and likes the cosmetics of the guitar. You will need to switch out the pickups to you'll have to tack on about $150+ which brings it up to American made Fender Stratocasters.
