You don't have to tell Steve Cropper anything about playing guitar. He can do the talking himself in an interview with Modern Guitars Magazine:
I play the Cropper Classic, but it’s a prototype without Cropper Classic written on it. But, it is my settings, pickups, and all that sort of stuff. I have two that I play. Both are prototypes. One of them I’ve been playing almost fourteen years. They’re both Telecaster shaped, but one of them is grooved in the back like a Telecaster Deluxe, so there’s room for your belly. It's sort of contoured like a Strat, but it’s still a Telecaster.
