Squier FSR Classic Vibe 60s Stratocaster - Iconic Strat Aesthetics At An Affordable Price!

[@glennpacheco575]

I recently bought one. Most amazing neck feel and amazingly balanced in terms of weight. Love it. Thanks for the lovely review and great playing.

[@johnsmith-ug5tp]

If I'm not mistaken, Dagen is the only KZbinr that demos guitars standing. 😉👍

[@oddgalbatron6688]

And trogly

[@adambrown6930]

Also In The Blues does as well.

[@sethdillon6316]

I have a 60s CV Strat in blue and it is my favorite guitar. Comfortable, great sound, and the neck just feels right! Build quality is better than the MIM Strats .

[@이태원-u5r]

Yes Lake placid blue one, that's my new crush😍 Looks Amazing. Wonderful.👍👍👍

[@followyourpassion8378]

Hi, would you mind giving some details, which aspects of the CV are better than on a MiM Player Strat? Cheers

[@CitizenSoldier500]

@@followyourpassion8378 yea i have both and although it's pretty close, it's not better than the mim. they do weigh about the same.

[@followyourpassion8378]

@@CitizenSoldier500 thanks, have had both and sold by now. Actually, the MiM Strat came set up very nicely and almost played itself. My Performer Tele and Pro Strat are not as easy to play.

[@guitarnerd99]

I've just recently got myself one of these, and I love it. Sunburst finish is amazing. The neck plays like butter and feels so comfy in the hand. The pick ups have a great twangy tone on clear output, but give it a BD2 pedal or a wah blasting out of a Marshall and its Clapton and Hendrix heaven. Wouldn't part with mine.

[@rajvirsingh5754]

That looks and sounds amazing and great playing as always Dagan 👌🏻

[@BenedictNMD]

That cheeky bit of mr. speed in the intro, fav KISS song! Great vid as always, i could listen to Dagan talking about and playing guitars for hours!

[@transmissionggb2820]

I bought one last September as I needed a new hobby and I haven't put it down since, same colour with 40w blackstar amp and its perfect for someone like me just getting into this gutair world, and am 45 so I like the classic look.

[@LabLover677]

I'm about to purchase this as my first guitar or a bullet. Since I'm a beginner wasn't sure to invest $450 or $180. Do you have any regrets?

[@transmissionggb2820]

@@LabLover677 no not one regret, I am glad I went for that guitar.

[@transmissionggb2820]

@@LabLover677 if you want a guitar that you can use as a beginner then progress, this guitar will go the distance. I think if you bought the bullet you would need to buy another guitar or upgrade it if you keep progressing.

[@LabLover677]

@@transmissionggb2820 thank you. I ordered the vibe 50s strat white blonde. Now I need a simple amp. I was looking into headphone amps.

[@transmissionggb2820]

@@LabLover677 you made the right call, the classic vibe rage is well worth that extra bit of cash and will be all you need, you will be glad you went for that instead of the bullet strat, they are good but things like the tuners are a nightmare so once you start playing you won’t have to tune it every time you play a bit.

[@charlesockholmes9764]

Wow!! you're reviewing my guitar! Finally I'll be able to compare it with all of your gorgeous guitars!!!! ^^ I'm so happy!!!

[@OscarBenben]

I'll just say this: "a good player can, and will rock everything".

[@64north20west]

Beautiful guitar, but the Olympic White one looks like the Hendrix Woodstock strat and should not be overlooked. Great playing here.

[@peace4531]

I can listen to you play all day man!

[@ParaBellum2024]

I have a CV 50s Strat which, apart from the fingerboard material, is practically the same as the one in this video. Mine weighs next to nothing. The frets and nut were perfect out of the box. I shielded the cavities, so it picks up no more hum than any other single-coil equipped guitar. Easily good enough to gig with.

[@ricardoandresmanrique5375]

Well, you know... I'm not really looking fordward to buy a guitar right now. But you are so good to hear! Your playing, but also your spirit, man! ☺ One can actually feel one is the one playing and enjoying the vibe! 🤠 So, keep up the good work! 😎 And I'll get a guitar as soon as I can to rock as you do!

[@Zeal808]

Just got a sunburst 💥🙌🏾👍🏾👌🏾 Sweet water is the best honestly. Your guitar will be taken care of. Set up is perfect 🤩 right out the box I wouldn’t change anything personally. Only thing I did was change the strings to 10’s, oil the finger board and polish the frets a little.

[@hbohm1996]

I’ve found the addition of an equaliser pedal with just a small bump on the bass levels brings out a lot more of a fuller tone from the cheaper fender pickups. Cheaper and more versatile thank dealing them out because their response is very good

[@madgeniusmusic]

I've got one, great for the money.

[@mattfrancis2836]

Loving the bit of Andy Timmons at the end there 😁

[@sleevelessace]

Personally as far as strats go im a olympic white or sunburst guy (or the black with a black pickguard and black pickups lol which i modded myself) BUT if i had to choose between the coloured ones i would have to go with Lake Placid Blue the 40 anniversery ones is beautiful with the inlays and gold hardware it just looks amazing to me

[@idealmethod]

If you want an american fender strat - dont - buy this instead. its a much better deal and the neck is legendery on the CV ( mapple ) pick ups sound the same as USA. Smart ST player buy CV.

[@Nightshade1881]

Seriously Electronic upgrades Pickups and tuners And possibly a bridge upgrade and I would also have the fret ends rounded off No need for usa strat

[@jimx1696]

@Nightshade1881 makes no sense Strat 400 + pickups 200 + tuners 100 + bridge 100 + electronics 100 + fretwork 250 = 1150. Literally the price of a American Performer. Throw in a case for 300 = 1450. The price of an AmProII. You get what you pay for!!!

[@uria702]

I have multiples of both USA made and the classic vibe. The CV is very nice, but the USA made Fenders are nicer. I’m not getting rid of mine anytime soon.

[@DogDaze66]

Garbage

[@mrmz3802]

21fret 😂

[@karengayle9331]

I know you can shred but I did like the easy links that the strat is great at. Thumbs up on your teview.

[@nalukeko]

... last I heard the pups on the 50s, 60s, and 70s CV are the same on each. Particularly after switching to the Indo pups. Anyone got more info?

[@Ravman245]

I have seen that all three use the same Alnico V pups.

[@c.h.s9022]

Im looking at this, but in Lake Placid Blue

[@CitizenSoldier500]

i wasn't aware of it being an fsr and i'm pretty sure it isn't but they are nice

[@charliep123]

I’m convinced that Dagan only has one outfit.

[@DaganWilkin]

It’s the PMT work uniform 😂

[@luizdiaz5196]

Please consider reviewing the Peavey Vypyr X1. Nobody has reviewed it yet

[@pdepde9648]

Can you please do a comparison with the squire 50's Fiesta red ?

[@joevstheguitar]

7:48 love some Electric Gypsy!

[@davidharding200]

Sounds better than the PRS Silver Sky

[@guitarlair]

no it doesn't

[@kamarl1131]

Which colour is this? He says Candy Apple Red, but the description says Fiesta Red. Help me please. Thanks.

[@44scoots]

It’s the only ‘red you’re going to get.

[@jambibaub8753]

What’s the difference with this one and the current CV 60’s candy apple red strat?

[@3dPrintingNederland]

The color

[@oza8578]

Great job, Dagan, for the great review. But...... I'm unclear how this is a Fender Special Run. Can someone please enlighten me.

[@3dPrintingNederland]

I think he's wrong about this one being the fsr fiesta red edition, looks like he's playing the 60s candy apple red classic vibe.

[@wanabepetegreen1132]

What price range ..please

[@cussy77]

Amazing looking guitar just a shame there's only one colour for left handed players which is a bit of a let down

[@stephanemenet5854]

I bought a CV60 and sold my Fender Vintera. The Squier is so much better.

[@ozzy1287]

hi

[@kdc300z]

I hope it sounds better in person. It sounds so thin and compressed. Also, take a breath and try some decaf.

[@TheCommonSenseProfessor]

I would love for someone to do a video comparing this guitar with a Harley Benton ST-62.

[@robertscott7625]

Yes but, How much??

[@AntonioCavicchioni]

Goodbye to the affordable guitars... They double the price...

[@Nightshade1881]

Sadly That’s all over the world Better to just put one together with different parts

[@gerald5028]

The intro sounds like Mr. Speed by Kiss :)

[@martimdesouzajunior7585]

With good pickups, a good harness, and a decent nut...it should turn into a good strat!

[@DenMan24Fan]

These have AlNiCo V pickups and a bone nut. They’re already good Strats!

[@jamiesagirl6984]

I like candy and I like apples and I like red I want one

[@CraigFlowersMusic]

I think that Tonemaster Super you've been using for demos . . . sounds like crap. Too bright, no low end, no dynamics, wimpy harmonics; why not use a real amp?

[@DerEchteBold]

So it's the amp?! For many years everybody said how great these Classic Vibe Squiers were but I never saw a demo where one actually sounded good, so I assumed it's the guitar that's crap.

[@kimbarsegyan]

That light brown fretboard ruins it.

[@cammywammy9232]

Not enough biffy riffs

[@RickFoxx777]

I think this guitar looks good but honestly, I have never liked the sound or feel of any Squire I have ever played. The wood for the body is not even alder it's Nyatoh wood, used for cabinets and some times cheap acoustic guitar necks... mostly because it's a soft wood. You are better off with a fender (with alder or ash body) strat American or Mexican made. That's what I buy, and I have been using them exclusively on stage for over forty years...I also swap out those stupid modern C necks for a soft V with a 9.5 radius and sometimes swap out the pups for 59 pure vintage, tex specials/ tex-mex or 54 vintage reissues. Then I Plug it into a decent fender amp i.e. Fender Bassman, Blues jr., or a fender blues DeVille 410 and you've got Killer sound. Just my 2 cents worth. Peace

[@underrated5006]

Where do you buy the soft V neck from? I am a little tired of the modern C necks as well, but I do like the MIM strats.

[@Cssisabeautifulthang]

[@tonykoziol9052]

Crap sounding amp!
