i played one at a local store. man what a strat..
it is extremely comfortable to play. tone was great, i liked the pickups.
very versatile.

its on my "IF I WIN A MILLION $" list..

I played one and wasn't too impressed,the 1st string was extremely close to the edge of the fret and my finger would roll off sometimes.
I just bought a '59 thin skin from Wildwood with a RW neck and although it's not as close as the EJ model I played it's closer than it should be imho.
That will teach me...I don't usually buy something like a guitar online and that will be my last.....and I have several Strats,so I'm used to different necks,but will test play any other I am interested in.
Don't get me wrong,it's a really nice guitar,but not as great as I expected.

yup,
i bought my cp 60s online through sweetwater, nice guitar albeit
static issues.

:idea: im gonna take some pics of the wiring solderings etc., hopefully martian will take a peek and maybe hell see something wrong.

59 thinskin with rw neck?? why would a guitar come like that?? i would imagine it would serve a purpose in the mid position for noisecancelling.

Rebelsoul, it sounds like it just needed a neck adjustment.
