The CVs are a lot like the '70s Tokai "Springy sound", but now officially authorized by Fender, really excellent Guitars. I have the Oly white with the gold guard, and it's become my flagship, I LOVE it.
thanks for the vid! I'm thinking of getting one. I usually don't chase highly expensive Fenders but this sounds amazing even on this vid! What do you think about replacing the pickups with David Gilmour's signature EMGs?
im sorry to bother, but im trying to decide whether i should get this guitar. i played it and i love it. but ive only played it a handful of times. i would like a second personal opinion if possible. whats the number 1 thing that stands out aout the guitar? whats the worst??? thatnx for answering this if yuo do. awesome vid by the way
No offense but when you started playing I was blown away, was expecting another lame review. That Strat sounds incredible along with your playing. I have the CV Tele and am totally impressed. I have 2 Am Strats and 2 Am Tele's but must have one of these CV Strats if it's as good as the CV Tele. I also wire all my Strat bridge P/U's to the tone control, putting the bridge though the tone circuit helps rid's it of the ice pick sound evn set at 10. BTW, my main amp is a Peavey Valveking 112.
You said you wired the bridge pick up to the tone control, i'm a beginner and am wondering what the purpose of this is because i'm thinking about purchasing one of these.
Great tones! There really is something to be said for sticking with 50s spec pickups on a stratocaster. All the overwound stuff sounds too mid-heavy for my tastes.
I wasn't sure whether to make a purchase on the CV 50 or the CV 60, but after seeing this my mind is blown both by the amazing looks and quality of the guitar and your godly playing.
Just wanted to tell you, this guitar is s-w-e-e-t. This is my main guitar now. The feel of the neck and fretboard is incredible. I had a good friend set the action. I like the strings closer to the fret board. I have other guitars. I have a highway one telecaster and a Gibson Les Paul studio. That were the most played. Not anymore. Thank you for the awesome video showcase. For me buying this guitar.
I went into a shop that had both a CV 60s and 50s strat with the intention of getting the 60s. However I sat there testing both of them and left with the 50s strat for $225 out the door. I thought the Alnico III just fit my style better. I like it better than my MIM Strat.
thats how good you are! really thinking about getting one of those, tried on yesterday and i loved it. I am really used to hambuckers, so the strat just sounded amazing!
I just got the squire 62 custom tele. It too is a stellar axe. Almost too good to be true. Anyone considering buying one of these should just go for it. Btw, hot licks, Dude!
I tried one a few days ago along with the bew swuier jazzmaster and the jazzmaster dit blow it away, certainly eith overdrive.... Thin is with squier that you need to be lucky to run into a reallyngoodnone iguess... Had thatfeeling with the jazzmaster....the strat was quite disappointing, yours sounds great tho..and nice playing :)
why the hell cant squier/fender make every of their guitars w/ 22 frets??! this is so annoying, i need the 22 so much to bend on the high e. its nearly impossible to find a sunburst with rosewood fingerboard at an affordable price with the original design.
@givemeajackson what i think you should do is find a cheaper one that fits those designs but then take some new and better sounding pickups and put them in, if you want blues then p90's, if you want regular rock then it can vary from semour duncans to alcinos depending on what you get. i hoope this helps
@DRGK9 the problem is that there are no others, and i don't want another shape than the original. i hate this, cause i want a strat want a strat so bad :( thx anyway
simple demo. great licks. great sound. great guitar. lol for "it does feel loose there at the pocket there but uhh but you can easily grab that there i guess but i don't use that anyway so i don't care." overall great demo! planning to get this one soon as my first stratocaster.
I walked in the store with the intent to buy a Mexican standard strat. All I said to the clerk was I'm looking to buy a strat for under 400 dollars. He pulled down a MIM, a 60s CV and a 50s CV. I will admit, at first I dismissed the squires as being cheap knock offs, and went strait for the MIM. After playing it for a while I decided to give the CV a shot, and oh man was I taken back by how much better it sounded then the MIM I had just sat down
If that's an improv, major kudos! I've been playing over 40 years, and even I can't replicate your little riffs. Wish you'd consider a "how to" on those scales/riffs in this vid. Many thanks!
@rodchubb i played on a peavey studio pro 112 and it sounded mad on power chords and can you send me a strat from america to australia? i have a squier but its not a classic vibe so i want that sunburst strat ur playin i wanna imitate buddy holly
I've actually been watching this video a LOT, because I can't get that incredible funk tune - the one on the bridge pickup - out of my head! Is that you being awesome, or is it somewhere else (Prince comes to mind)?
Sweet guitar, and perfect playing, man! Thanks for this vid.
Holy shit, Rob Dyrdek is playing guitar and owning at it. I'm really interested in the Classic Vibe line. Good to see that these are affordable and worth the money.
@rodchubb im in a 50/50 mind on whether to buy ne of these new .i have never ever bought a new guitar in my 20 years. but picking up these used and cheap has proved to be a difficult prospect,not some on ebay bringing close to new prices not that there expensive new just im a bit tight .so please help why should i get one of these over a mex? go on push me over the edge
Nice review of the classic vibe 50's strat. I bought myself à 60's classic vibe Candy Apple red and i like it. I want to ask you wich song you play on 1:44 and @ other Times in de video. I like it!
@racke1993bg Yes , these are the top-end guitars manufactured by Squier which is a subsidiary of fender . though these are made in china these are good enough , and btw for RHCP its all in the playing mahn :D
Hey man can you tell me what pedals do you use for this songs, I have a Squiere classic vive 50's, and what pedals do you recomend to have a similar songs of SRV (texas flood) with this squiere classic vive ??? Thanks
The in between setting on the high gain part of the demo reminded me of some of the tones on ZZ Top's on foot in the blues...nice man. I was messing with one of these guitars at a shop, they seem really high quality.
Just ordered one today. I have the Simon Neil Sig 62 which is great but i gassed for a Maple neck 50s. I cant afford the real thing (I sold one 40 years ago for £100), so i'm getting this at £230....which is cheap. If it's as good as the 62 I'll be pleased. You're demo sold it to me.....Thanks......Al!!
Ok, so I checked your website out, and you're really good. Like, REALLY good. I'm also thinking about getting this guitar, btw. I've had the basic, crappy, starter Squier Strat for almost 2 years now.... and it's about time to upgrade lol.
you make me lost my doubt to buy squier classic vibe strats. oh btw, maybe im gonna change the pickup with area dimarzio and bridge with fender 1962 reissue stratocaster tremolo, wut do u think?
great groovin and great guitar.. i played it yesterday and i liked it.. but i have one qustion.. alldoe i play for only 6 six months .. and i realy dig funk, jimi hendrix, rhcp, eric clapton and them.. what do think about this guitar and its abillity to play funk and all what ilike.. ?
these are in deed great strats i was shocked at how light they are i have the olympic white one with gold pickguard im thinking of changing that though
That's a great sounding guitar. I am saving up for it now, I should get it by the end of July. Also to mention, your playing is pretty awesome. How long have you been playing? :)
awesome playing bro. love your grooves. have you played the classic vibe duo sonic..??? if you have, how do you compare that to this chap..? planning to get one of the two, but can't really decide..! thanks.. :))
Thats a great sounding guitar, the best squier I've ever heard. Plus, your playing is really groovy, I dig it man. One question though, could you please tell me the settings you use on your amp to get that nice clean strat tone?
I've been thinking about buying a squier strat myself, but I can't decide between a classic vibe 50's like yours or a vintage modified. Does anybody know wich guitar is better (for blues, rock, grunge,...)?
I received mine today and you were right. Surprising high quality from a squier. All I had to do was tune it. Intonation and everything was spot on. Neck and head are very close to my friend's high dollar reissue. Pickups sound great. I ran it through a line6 spider4 and a peaver vypyr. Thank you for your review and reccomendation.
Another question I forgot to ask is. Is the strat a made in mexico, japan,or korean. I am awaiting mine anyday I rush ordered it with a gig bag. I have quite a few mexican made which are quite good.
This guitar sounds fantastic for a Squier. When I seen and heard your demo, I logged into Musician's Friend and ordered one. Question: What type of amp were you playing through?
the only squier thats worth buying and playing, affinity and bullet are only good for painting and smashing so you dont have to smash up a fender american made stratocaster, i tried one and it just said play me and buy me,
AWESOME!!!! And nice playing. i am a big les paul guy but after i tried this guitar out at guitar center it blew me away. And can you tell me all the songs your were playing in the video?
Great video. i really like your playing. do you know if the pickguard holes are like regular strats? just wanna see if i wanna put a different pickguard on, would i need to make holes in the body?
hey man..you're playin very well...i bought the same guitar one month ago..its really nice...do you know if this guitar is better than squier vintage modified?
My Ameri-Deluxe Strat plays and sounds "little better" to me than my classic vibe 60s. Is it a $1000 difference? NO. Can the people at the bar I always play at hear the difference? NO. This classic vibe series has the highest cost performance.
xlnt demo sir...i'm considering buying one of these puppys..i saw one and she looks beautiful and feels really nice...wondering, why wire bridge pickup to tone control?
Im looking for a new guitar, but i can't afford fender strats. I like pink floyd and that kinda things and generally play solo's. Do you recommend this guitar ?
can i play like rock or grunge, or metal with a good pedal?

Thats a great sounding guitar, the best squier I've ever heard. Plus, your playing is really groovy, I dig it man. One question though, could you please tell me the settings you use on your amp to get that nice clean strat tone?

@codyn1 I usually just plug in the clean channel and run all the eq's at 12 o'clock.

@rodchubb Alrighty, appreciate it. And do these guitars stay in tune pretty good?

@rodchubb Great review! I'm going to buy it tomorrow...
btw, what is the song?

I've been thinking about buying a squier strat myself, but I can't decide between a classic vibe 50's like yours or a vintage modified. Does anybody know wich guitar is better (for blues, rock, grunge,...)?
MrSkAtEfReAk12 1 year ago
do you think these would sound as good ordered online? (after a set up)

you can fix the whammy bar by just wrapping some plumbers tape around it, if you'd want it fixed anyways.

I received mine today and you were right. Surprising high quality from a squier. All I had to do was tune it. Intonation and everything was spot on. Neck and head are very close to my friend's high dollar reissue. Pickups sound great. I ran it through a line6 spider4 and a peaver vypyr. Thank you for your review and reccomendation.

Another question I forgot to ask is. Is the strat a made in mexico, japan,or korean. I am awaiting mine anyday I rush ordered it with a gig bag. I have quite a few mexican made which are quite good.

@guitarjammer1 mine was made in China

This guitar sounds fantastic for a Squier. When I seen and heard your demo, I logged into Musician's Friend and ordered one. Question: What type of amp were you playing through?
guitarjammer1 1 year ago
@guitarjammer1 I believe a Peavey Valveking
rodchubb 1 year ago
the only squier thats worth buying and playing, affinity and bullet are only good for painting and smashing so you dont have to smash up a fender american made stratocaster, i tried one and it just said play me and buy me,

MrGuitarboy97 1 year ago
Great video. i really like your playing. do you know if the pickguard holes are like regular strats? just wanna see if i wanna put a different pickguard on, would i need to make holes in the body?
thanks.

@freenamdar Don't know never tried on this guitar but on the guitars I have tried they never seem to line up without a little filing.

Do you have any links or anything explaining how to wire the bridge pickup to the tone knob? Adjusting the tone on the bridge pickup seems essential.

@RKovecses Afraid not, but a google search should probably send you in the right direction for a schematic

Whoa! I love your playing dude! Nice tone especially. what gauge strings are on it? that always makes the most difference of tone in a strat for me.

My Ameri-Deluxe Strat plays and sounds "little better" to me than my classic vibe 60s. Is it a $1000 difference? NO. Can the people at the bar I always play at hear the difference? NO. This classic vibe series has the highest cost performance.

xlnt demo sir...i'm considering buying one of these puppys..i saw one and she looks beautiful and feels really nice...wondering, why wire bridge pickup to tone control?
estinky 1 year ago
To me ... that is the pickup that needs the tone control most. It allows you to roll off some of the hi-end.
rodchubb 1 year ago
Anyone to say he needs a Fender cos anything cheaper sounds less good?
My, it's really cool hearing and seeing you play man, congrats!
