PRACTICALLY A CUSTOM
This guitar was designed by the custom people at Fender, and should be a custom if not for being made in Mexico. So i went to GC today and picked up a 50s classic player, but my hands are to big for the neck. This neck like gold for my claws. The sound was perfect with 69 custom pickups and a Fender Blues Jr. She was lite weight as well, not like a Les Paul. I always thought an American was the epitamy of Strats but now I am goin to save up for a Classic Player.

Sonic Blue and then some
OK, a lot of times I read these reviews and I figure there's some guy in the sales department writing these glowing reviews to encourage a higher buy rate on a laging model of guitar. (tell me you never thought that might be true)
I am 6' 3" have big hands and find playing this guitar amazing each and every time I play it. I have actually not been able to sleep because I don't want ot put it down.
When you buy a new guitar, there is that uncomfortable period before it locks in as your new best friend. This courtship is fast and powerful.
It stays in tune, and in some ways has a voicing like a well balanced acoustic guitar. This is really wierd considering it's a Strat. I have played the Eric Johnson model until my eyes rolled back in head & this is so much more comfortable and fun to play.
Remember FUN?

best strat in years?
I've owned many strats over the years but I'm blown away by the sonic blue 60's classic player strat I picked up.Mine in particular is very special compared to others I've tried(although they were all great).Perfect weight,perfect neck shape and radius,jumbo frets,very loose bending stings(even with 11's)and killer pickups.This guitar channels a Hendrix vibe,lots of raw snarl in the bridge,transparent and funky in #2,very stratty in #3,Buddy guy in #4 and S.R.V. in #5.Very vintage sounding.Amazing loud and resonant acoustic tone...everything I love about a great strat!I'll put this Mexican vs any U.S. model,it is that good.

one nice axe
I recently purchased a 60's sonic blue Classic Players Strat. It is made in Mexico. I could have purchased an American Highway One Strat for $50 less, but the quality of the Players Strat is far superior to the Highway One (sorry America, but it's true). I could have purchased any Strat in the store (and there were about 50 on the wall), and I got this one. I was initially drawn to it because it was so pretty...it is nicer in person than in the pictures in the catalogs or on line. Simply put...this thing plays like a dream. The 12" neck radius lets you lower the action so it plays like an Ibanez or a Gibson. It's about time Fender realized that most of us like low action. There are two things that it does not have that would have made it perfect...locking tuners and pickups that do not hum. I took it to a repair guy, and he is correcting those things, and then I will have the nicest Strat upon planet Earth. That...my friends...is the plain truth...spoken by a man that is afraid to lie.

just what i was looking for
I'm from Chile, and i bought this guitar during my vacations in florida, at Guitar Center in Ft. Myers. I wanted a guitar that for an affordable price could gave me a clean and sustained sound. I had a Les Paul in mind, but after seeing this beauty in three colour sunburst, and playing it through a Marshall amp, I changed my mind inmediatly. In appearence, it looks like the real deal, and the C shape neck feels like butter. It had some buzz on a couple of frets at the beggining , but they tuned it up for free , and now it plays and sounds great. If you are looking for an affordable guitar which sounds, feels and LOOKS beautiful, this is it!!
