Hey i have a few questions about the classic series fifties strat. First, is the middle pickup wound in reverse? and second goes out to anyone who has the guitar, how does the neck compare to a standard C neck. thats what im used to playing but after seeing the 50's strat with the aged neck and the surf green finish i may have just fallen in love.

That Classic 50s has a V-shape, if memory serves. Perhaps it was supposed to be a soft V? To some people that just perfectly fits their hand, to others it is distinctly uncomfortable on the thumb bone, and to others again it is just a different feeling neck, neither better nor worse.

But listen, all of that means nothing. You have to try that guitar out. Sit it in your lap. Hold it, feel it in your hands, caress its neck... And by the way, have a listen to it, too. How's it working for you?

That's how you know if it's really love, or just a passing fancy.

Don't know about the middle pickup, and I'll be interested to find out whether Fender kept that original or discreetly updated it, along with the selector switch, which is now a five-way...
