those wee classic vibe squiers do amaze me.  any time i'm in a guitar shop i find myself more drawn to them than any of the actual Fender stuff!  i have a cv Telecaster (another ex-Twinfan guitar :) ), and it really is excellent

Time for me to do my "broken record" bit and say.....

...........if only they had bigger necks!

get that man a kotzen tele

There's a bit of a price difference, though, isn't there?  :P

I do have a collection of some of Fender's chunkier necks (mainly from various MIM models).  One day I'll match them up with my collection of Warmoth bodies....

Yeah.. i guess.. could always go and cut down the nearest tree and stick some strings on it? that should only be a little thinner than the kotzen neck

My first proper guitar was a Squier strat back in 1985 when they were made in Japan.

And yes, the serial number started with E. And I gave it away to a friend. I should really see about buying it back someday.

Just to be clear here: It's not one of the new Classic Vibes, which are apparently pretty good. It's a bullet series :lol:

Bullets are very popular for moding, due to the low prices, yet full size body (unlike affinities)
