    Default New Squier Strat coming....

    A couple of years back, I had a Squier Classic Vibe '60s Strat that I really loved, but ended up selling it when I bought an American Standard Strat (which I also love!). Been missing that CV '60s ever since, so I decided to pick up a new one in the Burgundy Mist finish--love the color and the matching headstock. Ordered it yesterday from Sweetwater--those guys are GREAT to deal with! My plan is to convert it to an H-S-S pickup configuration, since I already own two S-S-S Strats. I'm pretty sure the body is routed to take a humbucker at the bridge--at least, the 2008 model I owned was routed that way. I'll find out for sure when it's delivered on Friday. It'll also need a new pickguard, obviously. Will probably go with a pearloid of some kind.

    My Sweetwater sales rep, Nick, sent me these pics of the actual guitar I bought. Pretty cool!

    Looks cool, but they call that "burgundy" mist? Looks more like lavender mist to me. I'll be interested in your report on it.

    Yeah, I had much the same reaction. You never know what kind of lighting that a series of photos was taken under, so we'll see what it actually looks like when it arrives. I expected something more like this for "burgundy mist":

    Pretty flashy new color - like the matching headstock; I hadn't seen these. It'll look great with the pearloid pg. And we all know what nice guitars the CV's are...! Congrats!

    Yep. That one I would definitely classify as burgundy.

    Part of me feels I should turn in my man card for using the word "lavender".

    That ain't burgundy. How about "lilac"? Though I still think you may have to turn in your MAN card for using it. haha

    Well, whatever you want to call it, I like it, since purple (in many shades) is my favorite color. In fact, I like it better than the "real" burgundy mist, though that would be fine, too. But from looking at several photos on different web sites, the more purple version appears to be the accurate depiction of the color Squier is using. Here's a shot from a UK website--a little darker, but the same basic color:

    That's pretty funny. My wife just decided to take up the guitar and ordered one of these today. I agree that it's pretty sweet! Congrats!

    Whoa! Nice looking guitar. Since you dig purple so much were you a Donny Osmond fan as a child?

    My first bike in the 70s had a sweet metallic purple finish with chopper handlebars. I miss that bike.

    Got the new CV Strat on Friday and played it on & off all weekend. It's AMAZING how good of a guitar you can cop for $350 these days. Sucker was ready to play right out of the box, which I think is probably a testament to the checkout by the good folks at Sweetwater. I had to adjust the height on one saddle, but the set-up was otherwise right on the mark. Plays like butter and the pickups just drip vintage Strat tone.

    I won't bother posting any photos (yet), since the guitar looks just like the ones above that Sweetwater sent me. But I've ordered a DiMarzio Air Norton humbucker for the bridge and a custom H-S-S pickguard from Warmoth, so the guitar will be looking--and sounding--quite different in a few days....

    HNGD, DVM. I like the Sweetwater photo's color, and I'm not even a big purple fan. As far as online stores go, Sweetwater is my favorite.
