I think what the dealer meant by not as good player(referring to the studio) was that the neck on teh classic is slimmer as the 1960 was and therefore it is easier to play. I have yet to compare the two but I have looked on harmony central for feedback and I have seen alot of people suggest that the classic is a much more "playable" guitar due to the slimmer-tapered neck. I appreciate your time and suggestions I'll try out the guitars you mentioned.

THanks,
