The Fender CLASSIC PLAYER 50'S STRAT 6-String Electric Guitar, Custom Shop Designed, Maple Fingerboard, 2-Color Sunburst. Superb Strat with '50s features, sound and playability plus locking tuning machines and a custom shop designed neck plate.
The Fender Classic Player 50's Strat guitar epitomizes the vibe of the ’50s! It takes you back to the era of diners, Ike and cars with fins. With a maple fingerboard, tinted neck, single-ply pickguard and aged plastic parts, the Classic Player 50's Stratocaster guitar is awesomely retro, and the three American Vintage Strat single-coil pickups and staggered Alnico 5 magnet pole pieces give you the look and the sound.

It's a beautiful Stratocaster, the neck is perfect, the pickups sound clear and defined, overall the playabilty is amazing. It feels like a more expensive guitar, definitely a step ahead of the standard mexican version
Having owned and played many strats over the last 20 years including some very high end models, I can safely say this guitar is fantastic. In fact a friend of mine who previously owned a 50's custom shop reissue has commented on how little difference there is between the two guitars. Lovely fit and finish, great pickups and a very comfortable neck. Good job on the classic player models fender. Service from dv247 was great too. Very happy customer.
The American vintage pickups sound great, really nice soft v neck, I'm used to c shape necks but this feels very comfortable. After a little bit of setting up it's playing and sounding like twice the price! Position 4 on the switch selects neck and bridge pickups which is a bit odd, but if you want neck and middle you can place the switch between position 3 and 4, say 3.5 and this gives you neck and middle pickups. Very happy with this one!!
