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.
