After testing a bunch of Stratocaster at the store and previous online advice. I have narrowed down my list to a somewhat select list of Stratocasters I'm looking at. Unfortunately the store in my area only has a pre-fat 50s Am Std and doesn’t stock the classic players 60s, so I was hoping for the forums help. Really would like to know the Pros and Cons for the models vs each other if anyone has experience.
My main criteria is something I won't really feel is inadequate or want to get rid of for a better version and the best bang for my $. I can afford all of theses guitars but don't want to spend the extra money for a particular model if its not really worth it.
List:
New/Lightly Used Classic Player 60s = ~$650-850
Lightly used Am. Std (Fat 50s model) = ~$800-$1100
2014 60th Anniversary Am. Std (CS 54 PUs & Compound Neck model) = $1000-1250
