I have the Classic Player '60s Strat and the 2-point trem works fine. I've had no problems with it and it stays in tune well with light trem use.

They are both the classic series... Personally aside from the pickups, I think these guitars are made almost identically to the American reissues.

I just sold the sunburst one to a guy on ebay for $515 Shipped. I bought the Burgundy mist one, obviously used for $360 cash + $75 Trade in (Old guitar) =$435.

There is a guy on ebay selling a nice sunburst one though...

Could win it right at reserve... my guess is 425-450.

Yes you can buy one for about 500... and it is made in Mexico with all American hardware. Check out my two close up pics so you can see the bridge... it is an American 6 screw bridge... the neck is 7.25 radius (Rosewood board only), the frets are vintage (Small or thin)... the guitars come with all vintage appointments and have vintage mint green pick guards and aged plastic parts. I am likely going to change out the stock pups for some custom shop fat 50s... but this is in no way an absolute must... the stock pickups actually sound really nice.

only issue with this guitar is that if it isn't set up properly, it will fret out on the higher frets 12 and up...

Check out this site for more pics of my pink one, so you can really see the whole guitar... http://stratproject.googlepages.com/home

Glad i could help.
