New Classic Vibe
« on: August 09, 2009, 09:50:17 PM »
Picked it up yesterday, strung it with 10s & it plays really well. I changed the pickguard, everything else
stock for now. Bridge pu is great, I'd maybe like something a bit fatter in the neck, but I've not had
chance to crank the amp yet. I'll give it a couple of weeks & see how I feel then. Overall, really impressed,
feels every bit as good as a US Fender out of the box.

IIRC, the pickups are Toneriders, so they're not bargain bin items  :)
I'd have bough one but their necks are too skinny. I love the 'white guard' look, always reminds me of Jim Campilongo,

Welcome to the club.

Try raising the neck pickup a little.

Nice - absolutely the best Squiers ever made.  Wish I could justify the tele as I could put my currently unmounted Mississippi Queen in the neck.
