Fender Stratocaster questions

[moosehead]

Hey everyone..I just had a few questions about two Fender Stratocaster models..

What is the difference between the Fender Classic Player 50s and Fender 50s Reissue Stratocaster..
I had a look on Harmony Central..they have separate reviews for both guitar..could any of you shed some light on the difference between these two guitars..or are they one and the same?

Also, I read this article on this site..
http://www.epinions.com/review/pr-F...pic_White_Maple_Fretboard/content_26369691268

The author says that the Fender 50s Stratocaster has a basswood body..whereas on Musicians Friend..it is said that the Classic 50s Stratocaster has an alder body..maybe it's because they shifted production from Japan to Mexico some years back?..I really would like to know the correct reason..am just very curious :mrgreen::mrgreen:

I really hope someone can help me with this ..Thanks!

Here are the specs:

Classic player

Classic 50s

Both have alder bodies, just to clear things up.

The differences are as follows:

Classic - 7.25" radii fingerboard , vintage frets, non RWRP middle pickup, vintage trem, ping tuners
CP - 9.5" radii fingerboard , medium jumbo frets, RWRP middle pickup, 2 point trem, locking tuners

Don't read those reviews as they may be out of date or the models mixed up, the specs are readily available on fender.com
