Traded in my old Classic 60s for a Classic Player, for a bloody good price today. It plays beautifully, and induges my Beatles fetish with it's gorgeous
Sonic Blue finish.
So why do Fender have to ever so sightly spoil things? The neck has rolled edges, and yet in the factory some silly person has managed to chip the fingerboard's edge! Do I ignore this or try to sand it out? The backplate is a Mexican standard one and the bottom left screw hole has been drilled right on the edge of the rout, meaning that a tiny bit of the corner has split away and the screw only beds into the wood half way down the screw hole.
Nothing huge and I can live with these because they don't affect the playability of the guitar. Not do they have any impact on the sound - the pick-ups are bloody amazing for the sounds they produce.
But why can't Fender be a tiny bit more fussy; it's not as if they give guitars away, after all!
Oh, and whilst I can now enjoy trying to play Nowhere man on the correctly coloured Strat, I can assure you I have NO intention of modding the colour scheme as Mr Harrison did!
