WTB: Fender Classic Series 50's Strat

Gerz6558

Hello all, 

Got a 50's classic player which I like but wanted to try one of these classic series for a while to see if I prefer.

Looking for surf green ideally, would consider Daphne blue too.

Would also consider a Fender Japan equivalent, in a similar bright surf colour.

No black or sunbursts please, Got too many of those!

Cheers

I found the necks to be slimmer and a more pronounced v shape. Not as easy for bends due to vintage radius and frets. Pickups weaker too.

Yes I have one of those.  They are nice but I'm fancying a change I think.

Thanks for the info.  I know the key differences that justify the classic player price being higher are the pickups, tuners and trem.  I have a mixture of Fenders with 7.25 and 9.5 radius, depending on which way the winds blowing I always decide I prefer one over the other.

Probably doing the wrong thing really, because as you said on paper at least I should stick with the classic player.  But you know how it is!
