Pickup Specs on the Classic Player 60's were CS 69's. Early models had AY pickups, as they were initialed by AY. I also remember Greg Fessler designed this Strat and it also came with a Customshop Strat bridge and a thin poly finish. Not common to find with the grey AY initials pickups now as they were only found on early models.. Count yourself lucky :)

CS 69's in the Classic Player 60's Strat were 'Customshop 69s' but they have since changed when they changed the specs on these guitars. Now, the 'custom 69 single-coil' pickups are made in Mexico to similar specs. Sneaky move.

Later versions don't have Customshop pickups, they are just made to the CS 69 spec likely made in Mexico. I'd say there were other changes too..

Which leads on to something I've always wondered, where are Customshop pickups made?.. Lol

We give the pickups benefit of the doubt, and you pay top dollar for Korean cheap copy pickups with Jane Doe's scribles... :lol: :lol: :lol:


Please point me to Korean cheap pickups that look like those.
