Fender Classic Player Strat *SOLD*

BluesyDave

I bought this to get Strat tones but my DGT does everything so well, I really don't need it.  So let it go to someone who will play it.  In very good nick, with a non fender tweedy hard case, (which is smaller than a Fender one, so easier to store).  Completely stock, so locking vintage style tuners, medium jumbo frets on a 9.5" board and the (very good) Custom Shop pickups.  £500 delivered UK.

Bathroom scales not working but I'd say a smidge over my DGT and that is around 8 lbs.  So not light, but not heavy either.  And Strats balance well on the strap and the knee

In this condition and with a case, this is a bargain and then some!

I believe the pickups to be 57/62s if that helps anyone to decide. Very low output and very sweet.

You are correct Sir.

I thought these guitars had a 12” board radius? Unless they’ve changed the spec. 

BluesyDave

According to GAK it's 9.5".  It feels like a 9.5" anyway.

Serial number lookup confirms a 9.5":

Why is this still here?? That has to be the best value Classic Player out there and they’re such good guitars.

My bad. 

Much better feeling at 9.5” than 12” imho. GLWTS.

Agreed.  Anyone wanting a Strat that has those classic Stratty tones...this is it.

If my Tele copy sells then I'd be bloody tempted...GLWS either way! Can't believe it hasn't gone already.
