For sale is my Fender Custom Shop-Designed Classic Player 50s Stratocaster in beautiful 2-Tone Sunburst finish. It dates from 2008/9 and is therefore an early version.This is Mexican-made, but has Custom Shop design elements, including custom pickup switching, a two-point tremolo bridge (for greater stability).The guitar is in excellent condition, with just light playwear scratches on the lower rear and a tiny mark on the scratchplate (as far as I can see). I have included a pic of the mark on the scratchplate, but I couldn't get the camera to pick up any of the light scratch marks as they are very hard to see (and on the back of the guitar).It doesn't appear to have been played very much as there is no real evidence of fretwear and I haven't used it very much (as I have relic'd guitars I don't mind getting more knocks on). It has had home use only since I acquired it. The neck is beautiful (see pic).Here is a good review that tells you pretty much all you need to know:/reviews/guitars/fender-classic-player-50s-stratocaster-26214Classic looks and tones + the added versatility of a Tele-like tone from position 4 (where neck and bridge combine - a bit like the Tele middle position). The pickups are excellent.Don't confuse this with the Classic Series 50s Strat, which is an inferior instrument.I don't really want to sell this, but I read more
