NPUD..... APerfect addition to a lovely guitar

ThorpyFX

Thanks to @FelineGuitars I now have a strat that sounds right for me. I've always had a love hate thing with the strat, this is a classic player 60s and despite my best efforts the 69 customshop bridge pickup was just not right for me. Enter Jonathan and the bareknuckle trilogy bridge pickup and all my questions have been answered. More bass, more mids and more output....but it still sounds stratty. Perfect http://i.imgur.com/dD6nb9Y.jpg

Love BKP.

Looks great, but FYI: it's a Classic series, not a Classic Player.

that's a different(more expensive) guitar , this is definitely a classic player 60's strat

Classic Player is more expensive than classic series.

How many mounting screws on the bridge?

well either way my classic player 60s strat is lovely, very happy and even more so now. It's a great series of guitars, I bought a classic baja at the same time, wonderful too.

Nice looking fingerboard!

I think you're getting mixed up with the AVRI series. If your trem has 6 mounting screws, then it's not a Classic Player.

*edit* those frets look wider than vintage though, maybe an FSR @MattFGBI ?

well the receipt from guitar village says classic player....... And it has two mounting screws, and the paperwork that came with it says classic player too. It's this guitar...... http://intl.fender.com/en-GB/guitars/stratocaster/classic-player-60s-stratocaster-rosewood-fingerboard-candy-apple-red/

I'd say the owner knows best!!

Might have been the heel adjustment for the truss rod that threw us off

Sounds like it's Classic Player, then!  >:D<

CAR must be a relatively new colour, I think originally the '60s model was only available in Sonic Blue and sunburst.

guitargeek62

I stand corrected! I haven't seen a CAR CP one before, but there's plenty of CAR Classics out there and it's pretty hard to tell without seeing the bridge!

@thorpy6

Don't forget to remove those hidden trem shims. I can just make them out in the pic.

Lovely guitar.

The difference between Classic Player and Classic Series are fairly important and hopefully understood by everybody reading this. I went to look at a Classic Series on Gumtree  and after a few minutes said : "Oh.....I'm choking."
To be fair, he did get me a glass of water.

Here's a picture of the trem, I do believe the car is a new addition to the classic player series. As I can't justify a custom shop strat at the moment, this is the perfect stand in for me. http://i.imgur.com/5v5iJVe.jpg

Though in reality, they are basically the same quality guitar.  In the states these things go for the same kind of money, it just seems that over here they are a loss leader or something and are significantly cheaper than the Classic Player.  No idea why this is.  As a result it makes the Classic Series (Strats and Teles) the best value for money Fender guitars that you can buy in this Country.  Not often we get a guitar that costs the same in the UK as it does in the States.

MattFGBI

It's a Classic Player then!

Probably the best value for money Fender guitar available.

Cant argue with this, i researched the range for ages and decided on this guitar based on the top specs, the smaller headstock, rosewood fretboard and the customshop looks/design/pickups. very happy indeed.

It's a fuckin beauty mate, damn u though !!!


U have ignited the old gas flames my man

Btw - Baja Teles are the best axes along with the classic player strats without spending a bag.
