From FENDER:
A tribute to the 1960s evolution of the Strat®, the Classic Vibe '60s Stratocaster creates incredible tone courtesy of a trio of Fender-Designed alnico single-coil pickups. Player-friendly features include a slim, comfortable "C"-shaped neck profile with an easy-playing 9.5"-radius fingerboard and narrow-tall frets, as well as a vintage-style tremolo system for expressive string bending effects. This throwback Squier model also features 1960s-inspired headstock markings, rich-looking nickel-plated hardware and a slick vintage-tint gloss neck finish for an old-school vibe.

I'd probably still wanna get a player strat instead, given that they are often in the upper 600 range these days. But I respect squier for making such funky variations of strats, they are gorgeous.

[@palevas]

When I look at squier cv, I would rather buy player. When I look at player, I would rather player plus. When I listen to player plus, I would rather am perf. So good job by Fender, but still didn't buy any of those.

[@metalman1176]

My son got his first Squier stratocaster metallic red 25 years ago, still in fabulous condition. Plays today as well as years ago. Will never let this guitar leave the family.

[@tonyhills2112]

I have one of earlier 2012 versions. I think they were specced out a bit better back then with a rosewood fretboard & alder body. Looks nice though. Thanks for the review!

[@jeromewagschal9485]

You're quite right, I have a 2010 ( along with several other CV 60's and 50's ) and the body tonewood is indeed alder and the fingerboard rosewood... I'm a bit surprised that they used nato on these new series... The overall tone is a bit darker...

[@kerrywilliams8100]

I have the same one and my setup was perfect. I have upgraded the electronics to full size CTS pots and Switchcraft switch and put in Tonerider City Limit Pickups. It’s a fantastic guitar .

[@caryconover]

I bought this exact same guitar in April and your assessment aligns very much with my experience. I made same exact setup tweaks.

[@bldallas]

I have one in Lake Placid Blue and LOVE it! That said, I did do a very thorough setup and eventually upgraded everything except the body and the neck. I really like building my and morning guitars, so the upgrades weren’t needed as much as just something I decided to do over a period of bc a few months. It now has a perfectly floated trem, with a big brass block, Highwood saddles, locking Gotoh tuners, a fully loaded Fender Texas Special 3 ply guard e we it’s full sized 250K pots and upgraded caps, cloth covered wiring, etc. I also fully shielded all the cavities. It plays as n f d b d s kinds spectacular.

[@arustydodge2111]

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! 😉 Well played JOHN! Really love the Classic Vibe Line of Strat’s.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@MelodyCarroll-rx8tk]

I've had about 8 classic vibes; strats, telecasters, mustang. To me, the necks were puny. Depth wise, I found them too thin. Fender products don't really fit. My Sweetwater rep told me the pure vintage saddles would fit my strat and learned the hard way that that wasn't true. Same with the pickguards and the tuners. Nothing is easy. They look good though.

[@johnoakleymusic]

Surely you should adjust the truss rod first then set action height???

[@lemac3200]

That Goldtop Florentine LP - instant crush 😍😍😍

[@Bliggick]

I assume you got one with a well cut nut. Not always the case. Those frets sound gritty and could use a polish. Other than that, I would like a thicker block, but I find it is really difficult to order one off our favorite on-line retailer that is guaranteed to fit a CV Strat. I see this Strat has a traditional switch. This is good and not always the case in Classic Vibes, with many having a circuit board switch. CTS pots and a Switchcraft jack would be a nice economical upgrade. Just for esthetics, another cheap upgrade is a matching 3-ply backplate to match the front pickguard. I would keep the rest as is.

[@joemccarthy641]

Nice review. I like mine, but it's a partscaster. It's a 50s Fiesta Red body with 60s electronics and 60s neck.

[@tjchad1]

same-ish here... I have a 50s roadworn Black nitro body with a 60s classic series neck. I like it.

[@black03sct]

It’s actually a bone but, not synthetic bone. Put Fender Pure Vintage 61 pickups in my three tone burst CV. Great guitar for sure!

[@tankdarla637]

Wouldnt you adjust saddles last?

[@bryancollins6796]

These can make good mod platforms, but keep in mind they are metric. So that means you can't swap the bridge. Pickups, jack, NP.

[@RevivalGuitarworks]

TRAIN Tune Relief Action Intonation Nut height In that order

[@Andreas_Straub]

Shouldn't the truss rod adjustment be the first step as it influences ALL the other settings?

[@oldandeerie]

They are becoming less attractive with inflation, i got one in 2019 and cheaper, the tuners really suck and need to be replaced.

[@predigr]

Squier tuners are shit I guess in all models. But they make very beautiful looking guitars.

[@jackreston8188]

I think they sound like chit.

[@thetownspeople6486]

Junk. I’ll take my $429 and purchase a Sire or All In One thanks anyways
