MuddyDitch Zhuangzi Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Got a new Squier Classic Vibe 60's Stratocaster today. I had a couple of real strats 35 years or so ago when I was a kid and through the mists of memory I'd have to say the Squier is a pretty good value. It's certainly a better guitar than I am a player. As an acoustic guy it needs heavier strings and a higher action, but I'll get her set up after I played around with her for a week or so.

Bender 4 Life Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 mighty fine Strat there Muddy !! the CVs are said to be damn close to real early 60s Strats in build and sound. Sweetwater's the place to score gear from w/almost ZERO chance of getting a "dud"....good retailer choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimi Mac Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 mighty fine Strat there Muddy !! the CVs are said to be damn close to real early 60s Strats in build and sound. Sweetwater's the place to score gear from w/almost ZERO chance of getting a "dud"....good retailer choice! True dat! My daughter's a Strat fan and I got her the Fiesta Red version... It's the 50's model... It's pretty damn sweet! We walked into our closest Guitar Center and she was immediately smitten with it. It later came on sale @ Sweetwater, so I surprised her with it for Christmas 2012... And yes, Sweetwater is my retailer of choice and make the vast majority of all my online purchases thru them. Their customer service is simply unbeatable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capmaster Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Love the looks of the CV series, too. The scratchplates nicely complement the finishes, and the aged white covers and knobs contribute well to the overall classic appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiz Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I really like the CV Telecasters. My buddy had one with a tinted neck. It was a hot guitar. I think he only paid about $200 for it used too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitar God Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Congrats, man! There's a lot of Squier stuff out there that are really phenomenal! I have an antique burst Squier Tele that I put Fender Noiseless pickups and Fender locking tuners on it and that guitar screams for a Squier.

pippy Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I have absolutely not the slightest doubt that your guitar will be every bit as good as you say. Good looking, too, it must be said............ Congrats! P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
