    Nicey-nice! How does it compare to your Fender Muddy Waters Tele?

    The Muddy has Alnico V pickups so they're more output than the Alnico IIIs to my ear. The Muddy Tele is heavy. As heavy as a Les Paul because of the Ash body. The Muddy has a rosewood 60s neck so that's certainly different. Quality is as good as American Standard Fenders.

    +1 on everything T2TB said. It's a brilliant guitar. As I've said elsewhere, I was all set to get a Fender 50s Classic when the CV Tele came out. I can't tell that I've made any compromises at all in going with the Squier instead.

    The one problem I had with mine was a loose jack, but then the usual Tele the cup-plus-retaining-clip arrangement has always seemed like a bad design to me. I stuck in an electrosocket: problem solved.

    This guitar is wonderful. The Jack cup sucks and the pick guard is cheap looking....thats it, the rest is A++++.

    Default GG don't be dismayed

    That blonde Squire Tele Custom II with the P90s has incredible tone and is an incredible guitar. These are just different.

    I'd like to see some pictures of the strats. A lot of people are getting them. It'll be interesting to hear what they sound like compared to the Deluxe and the Cherry Sunburst standard with the staggered pickups.

    Looking forward to some strat pics.

    Default Oh yeah.

    Guitar Gal,

    I'm sure I've seen that avatar somewhere before. It was animated. Can't remember where I saw it. Where did you find that?

    It is really cool looking, I might add. But I'm positive I've seen it somewhere before. On some valvetronix "chromie" site I think, back when I wanted a AD60VTX.

    Now I'm looking forward to the Black Diamond VOX that is supposed to address some of the inherent design concerns expressed by some experts regarding the AD....VTX's and AD....VT's.

    Someone had an avatar just like that but it was animated. Do you remember?
