Arguably the best MIM Stratocaster ever released. I own a MIA Stratocaster but my 60s Classic Player is my baby.
inveigle which guitar is better for You?
I’m so glad I read this comment. I just ordered one of these, and it’s nice to know they’re made so well. Plus I ordered it from Sweetwater so I know they’ll set it up well
Tyler Lashway how do you like it?
@@tylerl8934 How did it turn out I'm looking at buying one this weekend?
Anyone have info on pickups in these, I am planning to change for smitty 64s in few month but wondered if any info on current ones in the 2009 model
Literally just came back home with one of these. What a great guitar for the money!
Congrats!
Well done just the right amount of overdrive so that the notes have clarity...........love that 12 inch radius for bending
I finally got myself one, nowhere near as cheap as this one, but it's everything I've ever wanted from a Strat and more, so it was well worth. It's got that glassy, Hendrix neck pickup tone in bucket loads.
Purchased one of these yesterday. It's amazing.
They're great to play
Just scored a candy apple red one. Great playing and looking strat. Love the Custom 69 pickups.
I have a 2013 model and I love it. Nice video!
for that price I would buy one of those TODAY. extremely good deal for you
i have 2006 one of these with the "ay" pickups. its best guitar ive ever had. miles better than any of the american standard strats ive had. honestly think just as good as the 50s reissue us strats i played in guitar shop too. l the tremolo honestly never goes out of tune no matter what you do. the neck is great. amazing build quality. only paid 400 (260 quid) canadian about 4 years ago too. !st guitar ive ever owned that i will never sell.
Awesome :) That's a bargain buy!
I assume AY stands for Abigail Ybarra, right? But are they Custom Shop pickups?
Ah I had one of these that had ay initials on back of pickups, regrettably sold. But recently acquired a tobacco burst 2009 player strat with some extra features
I agree with a lot of players for the money it's fantastic with the 12 inch radius upgraded pickups ,and the look is perfect.maybe the best grab and go strat out there.
Thanks for this video, it's more informative and has better audio quality than a lot of the others I've seen on Classic Player models.
I'm doing a custom build and this helped me decide to go with a used set of pickups, pots and switch from the Classic Player 60s model.
Great playing. This is one of the best Stratocasters that I ever owned.Regards,Ove
Just picked one of these up off Reverb to go along with my Baja Tele that I've had for years. These particular MIM's are buy-it-for-life guitars. Just make sure you're buying the Rosewood version. I believe Fender switched to Pau Ferro toward the end of it's run. This can easily be verified via Fender's Serial Number Lookup website.
Just got a 2018 one ,it's awesome .
Congrats!
I’ve got one on the way, I’m beside myself excited, although they are worth a lot more now. They go for 1000$ USD now because they’re so desirable for good reason...
Mine was $599 used about 3 years ago.
@@jamesgretsch4894 wow, killer deal, loving mine… I paid about 1k for it but I’m loving it, worth every penny…
I just bought a 2016 in mint condition for 700€ (740$). For how the market is right now it is a pretty good deal.
I bought one in 2011 from a mate in Denmark St, London for £350...total bargain and a brilliant sounding/playing guitar. My first Strat ever. Love it!
The one in my area is $1100 😢 it's at a legit guitar store too. I played it today. It's amazing but they won't budge on the price so I had to pass.
I bought one with the sunburst finish, 3 weeks ago from Gumtree. Bloke that owned it never really got into it when he bought it 9 years back. Sat in a case in a cupboard for years. Not a thing wrong with it. Bit of a polish, new strings and she's sounding amazing.
Jammy bastard me got it for £125.
Wow! mega bargain :)
I got one for 650e, rosewood neck... I can't wait for it to arrive
great playing buddy!
Thanks man:)
You did a great job all round here buddy. Thanks for posting, have subbed too.
jam track is so tasty. so is the playing !
I also bought one, thanks 3 color burst.. Love it
Congrats!
Got mine in sunburst about 9 years ago , we're still having a love affair !
Nice guitar mate.. love my strat
Reason it stays in tune so well is it has the same bridge as the USA standard strat the 2 point Fulcrom tremelo
Did you ever do any mod's you spoke about? I'm curious about what you might have done. Cheers!
I did! Checkout this playlist ua-cam.com/play/PLxP30Hfh2Y8o6pStBSu-pyW3QDgg2b2TK.html
Love the demo dude!
I've been saving up for a Mexican strat for an year now and going to pull the trigger this month end. Is the truss rod adjustment on this guitar easy since it is in the butt side? I saw people complain about it on the forums online. Will I have to take the neck off everytime I want to adjust it? I absolutely love the way the Classic Player 60 sounds but don't want the truss rod adjustment to be a pain in the ass
There are ways round it, like using a long smaller blade screwdriver but there's not much space to manoeuvre. Another trick is to loosen the screws at the back, the pair closer to nut a little whilst the other two loosened a bit more to get the angle for a screwdriver to get in there. FYI I've only adjusted mine once since I got it, pretty stable neck. :)
mastertheguitar - Aah! I think I'll do that. I stay in Mumbai, India where the weather is pretty humid. So the necks warp a lot. I think I'll go for the CP 60 anyway, not aware of any other good strat in that price range with that tone. The alternative( Deluxe strats) have fat headstocks look ugly imo. Thanks for the prompt reply :)
Just check your neck relief before string changes. It’s not as bad as you might think.
Great second hand price. Trying to get one under 500 is difficult now because people won't budge on price.
370 pounds??!!
Here in Sweden they go new for 1000 dollars, and used for around 800. If you're lucky you MIGHT find one for 500.
I know i'm almost 4 years late but dude, great deal!
Thanks man! I was indeed lucky :D
got my hands on one for 430! after selling my gretsch, best decision ever made
That shade of blue would look great with an anodized gold pick-guard.
Great guitars. I have the 2008 70's model and actually did a side by side comparison against my 2008 USA Standard and found that the only difference between the two guitars was that the finish on the USA was noticeably superior. In all other respects they were the same.
nice demo
Outstanding demo! Just got lucky and scored a 2006 and plan to do most of the mods you did on yours. Did you ever do the major mod you eluded to at the end???
I think that blue color made it sound better.
Good post.. how easy is it to adjust truss rod if you need to? Do you have to remove the neck?
Unfortunately yes, but, you can make it less of a hassle capoing the strings etc when you need to. For the record I've only had to adjust the once.
Wonderful Strat, but where oh where can I find a steel block that fits the Classic Player Strat?
I ordered mine from eBay :)
@@mastertheguitar Thank you, I looked everywhere on Ebay, hopefully I will find the correct one that i can buy. found one but it wound not ship to Sweden, darn! Thank you for a great vid!
Got mine in Germany , cold rolled steel , from eBay .
hi guys, i have owned one for the past couple of years and I still love it but I am noticing issues when bending the high E, it just sounds thin and it's quite hard. anyone know how to fix this?
That guy makes it sound sweet great job
great tone man, the pickups are indeed American pickups i messaged the custom shop on facebook and they gave me some info
Hi question: This guitar (60's) have pickups made in USA?
The pickups are made in Mexico based on the US custom shop 69s
I believe that’s the difference. Made in Mexico to specs of the custom shop pups
I have one of the same model same color and i replace the pickup into a custom shop 69 usa and i add aluminum poil at the back of the pickguard to eliminate the hum now its better and i also modified the swicth to take effect the bridge tone pickup now one of my favorite strats ive ever own
Got one spot on
i have one, it's wonderful. however the 12 inch radius quoted by Fender in generous. More like 10 to 11
Is it possible to get heavy distorted tones with this guitar? :)
Yup
gorgeus guitar
Great deal for you buddy, sounds great on the amp, been looking but most are £690 for this one, others classis players can be seen from £449
Yeah I was pretty jammy on that one ;) though I did buy it last year so prices have changed a bit.
Is there a name to the song played here, or did you make it up?
Just jamming over a backing track from Coffee Break Grooves
Got the exact Guitar
I think the fretboard is Pau Ferro not rosewood!
The earlier CP60s had ‘rosewood’ boards now of course they have Pau Ferro. I’ve wondered about my CP60 as I have a Pau Ferro board on my custom Suhr, it looks very much like Pau Ferro but specs for the time would state Rosewood (note not stating African or Indian) wondering if they were just using that general term for Pau Ferro.
My 2009 says rosewood , first ever owner , got from a Fender shop
Hey, is that body routed for a humbucker in the bridge?
Unfortunately it’s not, routed for three single coils.
@@mastertheguitar shame😅
Why manufacture a "'60s" strat with a 12" radius fret board?
jltrem Vintage look, modern playability. They are great. I'd take one of these over a Am Standard anyday.
Okay. But it's not a 60's strat if it has a 12" radius. During the 60's the strat fret board radius was 7.25. All of them. I was there.
jltrem I know that :) the Idea is that it looks like a 60's strat, but easier to play with the flatter radius fretboard. Hence the name Classic Player.
A 60’s Strat with “modern appointments” is how they put it I believe. The 2pt trem is also a modern take.
which strat has the best neck
Super.
How's the 12" radius, playability wise?
+No010944 very comfy I have a 10-14" compound radius guitar as well as a nice flat 16" one so not too fussed about radius in general but 12" is a nice compromise and feels fine for bends etc.
where did you get the grub screws bud?
stringsdirect.co.uk :)
Would prefer a maple fret board, but that is a nice guitar.
got the same guitar blows my American elite outta the water
How thick is the neck on first and twelve fret?
~22mm at 1st fret and ~24mm at 12th fret
@@mastertheguitar thank you😁
It's a fantastic neck , not fat but beefy ! !12" radius , so you can do bends forever ...., think you will love it , cheers
mij hybrid or this fender?
MIM
@@mastertheguitar any reason sir? bcause i must choose one on ecommerce, so cannot testes by myself
why does the headstock look tinted?
It has a Urethane finish so I imagine its discoloured over the years, the guitar is a 2009 model. I have noticed that the more recent Classic Players are a little lighter in colour. It's another cool thing about this particular guitar, really adds to the vintage vibe.
Are those the standard PU´s?
They are indeed.
What's Collor is this?
Sonic Blue
I grabbed mine off eBay for AU$650 including locking tuners and a Gator case. Bargain. I've changed the pickups to Donlis which cost US$35 but are a bit thicker than the 69s.. can't recommend this guitar or the Donlis pickups enough
Does anybody know if the pick ups in the current model are the same as the pick ups that they originally came with . They claim to have custom 69 pick ups are they the same as the custom shop 69 pick ups.
I've not seen any mention that they are any different from the pickups in the original models. Maybe they dropped the 'custom' to differentiate the pickups from the actual custom shop vs the custom shop designed ones used in the Mexican Classic Player. TBH it's probably just bad spec writing ;)
Thanks for your response. I just picked up this guitar new in the same color today . Partly because of your video so thank you for that. I'm definitely going to have to do the same mods that you did. I can't stand the fact that the bridge pick up has no tone control . Other than that the guitar really is flawless I can't believe the quality of the neck. Very smooth rolled edges you can barely feel the Frets. Seems a bit pricey for a Mexican made guitar but the quality really does rival the American Standard. I suspect that Fender must have their best people in the Mexican plant working on these guitars . I sold off a 65 vintage reissue that I didn't bond with that cost almost triple the cost of this guitar and I can honestly say there really isn't much difference . Trem block, tone mod and maybe a real bone nut (not sure yet) and I'm done . The one other thing I'm not sure about are the electronics do you know if they are quality US electronics or are they the cheaper Mexican electronics.
Awesome! Congrats on the new addition :D Regarding the electronics there's CTS pots in there, dunno about the switch but in general things are of a nice quality and wiring.
awesome...i want that backing tracl please
Backing track is a Smooth Jazz jamtrack from coffeebreakgroovesDOTcom
I love mine. Fender should be using dark rosewood on these instead of the ugly red they’ve been using
The new american original 60's strats are waaaaaay better. just ordered me one.
I have both as well. By no means way better. In fact I prefer my classic player and am considering moving on my original 60s.
Hey man, that fretboard IS NOT rosewood. That is Pau Ferro... Stop misinforming please
You need to do more research. It’s rosewood. You can even see it with the top layer removed when I had the neck refretted - ua-cam.com/video/QNEm1lSu0-E/v-deo.html
@@mastertheguitarit is pau Ferro. For mexican strats (non FSR) they switched to Pau Ferro in 2017 approx…
@@luxibro The Classic Player 60s Strat, launched in 2006, came with a rosewood board until CITES in 2017 when they switched to Pau Ferro. They stuck with Pau Ferro after CITES until the model was discontinued. I'm pretty serious about accuracy on my channel.
"700 punds"
£370! That is a bloody bargain!
Yeah pretty jammy, quick look on eBay they seem to be going for £400 - £500ish at the moment.
If only they'd come in shell pink...
It is not 12 inch but 9,5. It is not 7,5 as the most vintage are. I had the same gitar years ago. It is a nice guitar and the neck is very good, too. It is flat but not so flat as Gibsons are.
The Classic Player 60s strat has a 12” radius not 9.5”
¿QUÉ HACE EL GUITARRISTA DE RADIOHEAD PROBANDO GUITARRAS?
Pego dura la pandemia jaja
I just hate the color.
My local mhsic shop was closing down, 50% off on all stock.. got this for £425 back in 2018 🥲
