I am with you all re. the Squier 'Classic Vibes' & the 'Vintage Modified' series. I bought the F.Red 'Simon Neil' Sign. Strat (Biffy)
when it was first issued about 10-12 years ago. I put a steel block in it & never looked back. I also bought the 50s Tele in Vintage Blonde & the VM Jazzmaster & put the Mustang bridge in it, in the following years. All really great guitars, certainly for the price at the time. Not sure about the current CVs, as I believe they have now moved away from China production & have changed the body wood to Pine ?
I also bought a Mex 'Classic ' series Jaguar in Fiesta Red about 3 years ago just before they suddenly changed them to Vinteras.
It's a beautiful, great guitar, but I don't get enough use out of it these days as I tend to play my favourite Strats & Teles all the time, so I guess it will have to go.
I am very impressed by the new Mex Vinteras , as series, though.
Tony.
