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.

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.

I've got a pro 2 Dark Knight sss. My pal has a classic vibe he bought second hand off facebook market place for £200 about 4 year ago, black with maple fingerboard. He bought an American loaded pick guard for it 57/62's. A gotoh trem and tuners, cost him less than £600. It looks amazing, feels amazing to play and I actually prefer the sound of it to my pro 2. I'd put it on a par with my pro 2. I'd say moding a CV is the best bang for your buck strat you can have. Thinking about doing one myself to this CV in candy apple red.

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.

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!

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...

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 .

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.

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

I think I’m probably gonna get one of the lake placid blue ones, and some big letter stickers to make my initials like srv’s number one. Idk if it’d be cheesy or cool though.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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

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

I like my 60s CV Strat, but would you have any suggestions on the strings being tight, harder to bend? I put hybrid slinky strings on mine, and it's still harder to bend than the ones I have on my Mexican Tele. Any reason why or a fix?

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