Members Hammer97e Posted February 25, 2008 Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 So I head to my local GC to exchange my Bad Monkey that died on me this weekend and as I am walking through the door I spot this baby in the corner of my eye and I had to have it. My brand new Classic Player '60s: This is the most perfect MIM Fender I have ever seen!! The neck is absolutely perfect and setup is dead on! I had the CP 50's for a short while and couldn't warm up to that neck, but this neck is perfect, I had never played a 12" neck before and I really like it. Even better is I got it at the clearance price of $540. Evidently it had been buried in back for awhile and they just found it, I hadn't ever seen it there before. I had to dump my CSB Squier and my EMG DG20's to get it, but it was absolutely worth it. I think it might need a black pg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mindriot Posted February 25, 2008 Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 damn I just played one today actually, but blue. One of the best strats I ever played. I would have bought it if it wasn't $800. I like your color better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hammer97e Posted February 25, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 I think I would of payed the full 800 for this one, if I had to, but I am pretty excited I got it for the price I did!! It seems like it is so much better quality than the CP 50's I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ashasha Posted February 26, 2008 Members Share Posted February 26, 2008 I heard some screwy stories about guitars, getting 'lost in the back' of the store because it has to stay in stock for a certain amount of time before the GC staff can buy it with their discount. Not saying that it happens everywhere, but I wouldn't be surprised if it had been pigeon holed by someone who handpicked that bad boy for themselves and either got canned or changed their mind.

Members cardude6987 Posted February 26, 2008 Members Share Posted February 26, 2008 I love those strats! They are the most comfortable strats i have ever played! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hammer97e Posted February 26, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 26, 2008 Maybe some on can help me, according to Fender's specs this is an alder body, but I thought that most sunburst strats were made of ash, hence the extra cost for them. Either way, this guitar is one slab of wood. I got her opened up and I was shocked to see that it was one piece. Maybe someone can tell from the grain in the pic, I don't know wood that well.
