There's an official Fender setup guide for strats here. Maybe it will help...

Looking at the product photo of your model it appears to be pretty standard as far as bridge and nut goes. Why can't you simply adjust the bridge saddles? The string height specs are in the setup guide.

I don't own that model but from what I know individual string height is adjustable on the 'saddle'.

Look below:

The saddle height is adjusted where those two tiny allen screws in each saddle.
(Look to the top of each saddle)
It will be very similar to yours.

*Please note that slight adjustments can make large differences &/or
maybe even knock your intonation on that string out slightly.

Normally you receive a little envelope with tremolo springs in it when you buy a strat. It should have a little diagram of the springs printed on the outside. The allen wrench for the saddles and truss rod should be in that envelope as well.

It says "hex wrenches", so I'd guess that it is in there. I got two Allen wrenches (bridge & truss rod) with my MIM standard, but no extra tremolo springs.

the Classic Player 60 is a MIM, and i have never seen that it comes with a envelope with a tremolo spring!

but i did however get allen wrenches for the saddle and truss rod with my guitar they were in the gigbag wrapped in plastic with the manual and registration form.....

I studied Fender's set up guide and at first it seemed hard to understand all the set ups for the truss rod, string action height, intonation, neck relief measurements and floating tremolo adjustments but after a few times of reading this over and over it seems now I fully understand it like I would be able to do it myself. Just have to have the right tools:

1) 6" ruler that measures in 64ths
2) Guitar Capo for 1st fret
3) Appropriate Allen wrenches for string heights, intonation & truss rod
4) Feeler gauges for measuring distance for pickup height & fret to string
5) Electronic tuner for proper tuning & intonation settings

and that should be it. After reading through a few times it should become easily more understandable.
