After trying it out, I had to go back and get it a few years back.

JAC...that is a sweet looking guitar. Thanks for posting the pics...I love these Classis Series guitars They play great, sound great, and have fine feel to them.

Thanks guys! I dig the sound of the ALNICO pickups. Having single wound pickups, this Strat is not as quiet as my Deluxe, but the tone is very sweet! I got the pickups setup to the factory recommended specs. That seems to be working for right now but, in the future this may get slightly altered if needed.

i want a strat that colour. i dont even care if its not a fender. i just want a strat that colour with a maple board, looks amazing.

that is stunning thats what im planning on getting next. Not to fussed on split post tuners tho might have to change them love that colour

What a great looking strat! I bet she plays and sounds superb!

Sweeeeet! I have got one classic 50's myself , have had it some years . 5 ? Since that was my first strat , I tried it out besides several others. And THIS was the one I wanted. It had the sound I wanted , and the playability- with it's soft v-shape neck. But to me it had the WRONG color! It is Fiesta Red! But that was the only one available in that particular shop, and I wanted/needed it immediately - SO - I bought it, and I've been happy with it ever since. But I have to say that I like the color of your guitar better......There is poll going on on this forum about colors - and I think Fiesta Red is getting quite many scores there - so maybe I am a fool.... But, Love the guitar !
Have been thinking of changing PUPs , but lately I bought a strat with SD's , so I think the RED one will remain the same for some time.
Thank you for posting

On the photos I've seen Fieta Red looks very nice! I love the soft v-neck.

That is one of the Best Colors Fender has IMHO especially with a tinted Maple Neck.
I hope to have one myself one day. Congrats and enjoys

Beautiful guitar. Would like to own one just like it.

My favorite... Classic 50's Daphne Blue with a Warmoth custom 22-fret neck, blocked trem, Noiseless pickups and active circuit. Yum!





It's a shame Fender retired Daphne Blue from the EC Customs... But everyone can buy a Daphne Blue Classic 50's and turn it into a Ferrari!

Here's mine, in Daphne Blue, which seems to be Surf Green's redheaded sister. 2010 model. It came with a nice tweed case.





Here it is hanging out with my MIJ '50s Classic Tele from the mid-late '80s. A '50s style Strat and a '50s style Tele. Perfection.
