    Default GAS Never Sleeps: Squier Classic Vibe Series

    Search samash.com for "Squier Classic Vibe" - they are listed - not yet available. All 4 of them are $299.99 each - $499.99 MSRP.

    '50s Tele in Vintage Blonde/Black - Pine
    '60s Strat in 2-Color Sunburst/White - Alder
    '50s P-Bass in Lake Placid Blue/White - Basswood
    '60s J-Bass in Olympic White/Tortoise Shell - Basswood

    Yikes! Not yet on the Squier website.

    The Tele looks very nice - 9.5" neck, 21-frets, Pine body covered in Vintage Blonde, 5-hole black pickguard, and what appears to be a Vintage style bridge with Brass Saddles and looks string-thru. Pickups are AlNiCo III.

    About time they put a proper vintage bridge and brass saddles on the Squiers.
    Very very nice, I will add that to my GAS list.

    Good news - the following message was posted this morning to a similar thread I had started over at www.fender.com -

    Please!...Lash me to the mast that I might hear the Siren's beautiful song, yet be powerless to act upon it...

    Just what we, the weak of resolve need....more inexpensive offerings from Squire to feed our GAS fires. It would be one thing if they were just cheaply made starter guitars for kids, but their quality in now well within the boundaries of temptation.

    Arrghhh...

    I checked with my tech and he emailed Fender Canada. They have them in stock up here and I have one of the 2 color burst Strats coming in next week. I will report on what it is like. The beauty of this deal is if I don't like it, he will put it in the store for sale. The price is a little higher here and I asked about the pickups. He seems to think they are the same as the Standard so a 100 bucks for tinted neck and stamped saddles seem a little rich.
    He is doing some digging for me with Fender to find out if they are the same as the Standard. I will see what he finds out.
    I wish you guys would stop this, I already have 8 Strats!
