2008 Fender Mexico Classic 60s Stratocaster — upgraded with Seymour Duncan pickups!

This model faithfully recreates early-’60s specs: alder body, rosewood fingerboard, 3‑tone sunburst finish, 3‑ply pickguard and other period-correct details. Unlike the current Player or Vintera lines — which pares away modern features to recreate the vintage feel — the Classic 60s is a more direct, traditional reproduction of early‑’60s Strat tone and feel.


Playability

- 7.25” radius fingerboard with slimmer vintage frets — a distinctly vintage feel compared with the Player series’ 9.5" radius and medium‑jumbo frets. The neck profile and string tension emphasize classic Strat playability.


Pickup/electronics

- Electronics were upgraded by the previous owner. Front and middle pickups replaced with Seymour Duncan SSL‑2; bridge pickup replaced with Seymour Duncan SSL‑6. Internal wiring has also been replaced. Plastic parts such as the pickguard were likely replaced as well.


Other specs

- Body: Alder

- Neck: Maple

- Fingerboard: Rosewood (slab)

- Scale: Long

- Frets: 21

- Weight: 3.5 kg

- Case: Generic soft case included

- Year: 2008


Condition

- Modifications: Pickups and internal wiring replaced; pickguard and other plastics likely replaced.

- Finish: Paint touch-up on the body’s cutaway edge (inner area of the cutaway). Additional dings, surface scratches, and paint chips visible. Price reduced accordingly.

- Neck: Straight with no warp or twist.

- Frets: Noticeable wear focused in low positions. Lowest worn spot measures approx. 1.0 mm remaining — roughly 80% life left.

- Truss rod: Functions properly in both directions.

- Action at 12th fret: 1st string 1.5 mm, 6th string 1.75 mm.


Why buy

This guitar is a great value for the player who likes authentic early‑’60s Strat tone and feel, especially with upgraded Seymour Duncan pickups.
