Hi Everyone,
I went to Guitar Center last week just to have some fun playing some guitars. I like to do that from time to time to see what's out there and try some of the newer guitars.
One of the big surprises was this guitar I tried. The Fender Classic Player Strats. I tried the 1960's model and I was quite impressed. It plays more like a custom shop model. It has a slightly flatter radius fretboard for easier bending and it also has jumbo frets. The pickups sounded great. It played very well and felt like a vintage era strat with the nicrocelulous laquer, etc. I thought that it was a good deal considering that it was less than $1000. Most of the custom shop ones are much more $. Here is a link to the one I tried:

They also make a 50's era model but I didn't have time to try that one. If you're looking for a Strat I would reccomend trying one of these.
