I'm assuming there's also a strat version of the classic vibe? Anybody have one?

What are you willing to give up?

I like both but the butterscotch more.
You are right I have a big mouth and most likely will keep any of that caliper.(meaning all us made):

I have played one. Excellent guitar, it feels great, sound superb and the pine wood does a good job, really. The only thing I found was that the frets were a little sharp.

I found them to be a little inconsistent, especially at the fret ends. I played several at two different stores before I found the Strat that was nearly perfect and sounded just right. The CV Tele's I've played were a little more consistent with fret quality.Originally Posted by Jimi75
I was demoing a few pedals yesterday with a store's Road Worn Strat, and if felt and sounded inferior to the CV 50's Strat.
I can see buying a CV Tele Custom before the end of the year if I don't get an acoustic instead. Sometimes GAS and marriage don't mix!

I've got friends here who are big Fender guys and they complain about fret sprout on everything that Fender puts out, not just Squiers. '51s had that problem in the beginning too. Mine was one of the later ones that was over zealously filed to the point of removing fretboard wood.

Yep, the "bad" fretwork is really a point of complaint with a bunch of Fender products recently.Originally Posted by marnold

My CV50s tele is nice...but I'm not enamored with it at all. It was an impulse buy....
The neck is too thin for my taste. I like a nice C or D shaped thick neck, I think. I love the neck on my 2002 MiM Strat, for example. I think I might REALLY love the neck on my EPi Special II.
It's a guitar like any of my others. It's a nice player, sounds very crisp, I like the Alnico 3 PUPs. But, is it better than my MiM Strat or MiM Tele? I'm not sure. If I had to do it over, I'd take that $250+tax I spent and put it towards a Blues Jr.
Quite frankly, I'm finding at my skill level, and price points I'm getting guitars at (From a El Cheapo Epi Special 2 up to my MiM Strat), the guitars are all pretty good quality. Replacing an output jack or switch here and there isn't a big deal whatsoever. In fact, I'm feeling really guilty about liking this bottom of the barrel Epi SPecial with a baseball bat neck. It plays awesome, sounds great...I had to replace the input jack, and the tuners are asstastic. But as far as a player? I think it's just as good as every other guitar I own.
Maybe it's the pricepoint of the excessive amount of gear I've gone through in the past 8 months...or maybe I have to be a much better player for a specific guitar to speak to me so much that I blow a load in my pants or something. But even the $119 Squier Affinity at GC seems like a pretty nice little guitar.

I think it's pretty cool that you're honest enough with yourself to say this. I'm with you, in that I have general preferences, but don't really notice the super-minute differences. I guess cheap guitars are the way to go for me for the time being.Originally Posted by Commodore 64

Well, it is depressing to figure out that my search for the magic guitar is probably more dependent on my skill level than it is on Craig's List. I'm hoping this realization is just a subconscious diversion in my brain to get me to spend money on fishing gear since the weather is getting nice.
Now, who wants to trade a nice GPS/Sonar unit for a CV Squier?
I absolutely LOVE my CV ThinLine Tele. No it did not show up perfect there were some smalls scratches on the bottom edge of the pic guard and one spot where I think they did not spread the stain evenly but neither would be noticeable unless you held the axe for hours yourself.
Sounds great I really like the neck its a keeper for sure I highly recommend this Axe to anyone looking for a Tele. I have played the CV Tele Custom and like it as well I would swap out the pickup selector knob but that's just me not liking the selector on the custom as much as the one on the ThinLine.
Both are great guitars period IMHO.

Maxi - any chance you could post some clips of that thinline? Have you compared it tone-wise to the custom and the 50's CV teles?

I do not have a video cam or a fancy enough phone to record any music.
Sorry guys I have played all of the CV's series Tele's and Strat's I'll give my opinion on all 3 Tele's when I have a little more time.
