Are you sure it's aged white though?  I think it only comes in Sonic Blue and 3-Colour Sunburst.

Yeah, maybe.  They're still only listing two colours for each model ('50s and '60s) on the Fender site, but they do tend to "rotate" the colour options every now and then.

from what i can remember (it's only yesterday, but i tried a ton of stuff) it was a 60s one as it had a rosewood board... i can't remember if it was the classic or classic players one, though. also, i think one of the tags said 50s?

but then why the rosewood board? :?

EDIT: normally i pay more attention to the guitar, but i was trying amps and just wanted a stratty tone, so that's why i wasn't too worried about the guitar... :)

The easiest way to tell the Classics from the Classic Players is that the CPs have "modern" two-point tremolos.

The '50s CP has a maple "V" neck and comes in 2-Colour Sunburst and Shoreline Gold (I owned one for about 5 minutes!).  The '60s CP has a rosewood-board "C" neck and (AFAIK) comes in 3-Colour Sunburst and Sonic Blue.

yeah, the one i tried had the rosewood board...

i know about the tremolo difference, just i honestly can't remember which it was :lol: ... i think it might have been the classic players, though.
