@mark123 yeah not sure, maybe a change on later models?

Looks like it ,i hope i did not come across as doubting it i was just wondering how it was different, i'm actually very interested in it but would have to sell a couple of guitars first.

Hey man not at all, you got me thinking.so did some further detective work

Are the pickups the American originals? and is the truss rod adjustment at the headstock end , i can't make out wether its a hole or plugged and at the heel of the neck for adjustment .

I’ve not opened it up TBH but think its the CS designed American vintage in there. Truss rod adjustment is on the heel mate.

Had one of these, was a 2 point trem, the 57/62 pickups were really lovely.  V necks didn't agree with me but was an excellently built and lovely sounding srtat.

Yeah - have to agree - I had an edge Strat before this and preferred for true Strat sound and feel.

Still dithering over this.  Call me fickle - I am - but that tiny mark is bugging me.

the 5* review - if I didn't have something very similar, I'd have it
Fender Classic Player '50s Stratocaster review | MusicRadar

Not saying its not that guitar but how come the one in the review has a 6 point trem and this has a 2 point trem? I had a 60s player and that had a 2 point trem .

I've just looked through the pics in that review and in one shot it has a tradditional 6 hole trem then in the next it has a 2 point.  Now that's what I call a unique selling proposition.  I wonder if they can do colour changes the same way?

I'm pretty sure that my 60's Player from c2008 had a 2 point.

How confusing is that! Yep, flick a switch, sonic blue, boom!

These are super guitars and great value for money.

Thanks mate, if I hadn't had the other Strat and committed to another buy I’d be keeping this aswell as letting it go taking a hit!
