The Squier Classic Vibe is a very good guitar, I’ve had their Strat, Jaguar, Bass VI and Telecaster and all were excellent, but the Tele is the only one I kept, probably because my ‘go to’ guitars were always my Fender or G&L Strats , though I now have the Warmouth/Fender Custom Shop partscaster and of course the amazingly cheap SX Strats that match the Classic Vibes in every way at half the price. If you can live with the SX headstock instead of the traditional Fender one, you get the same quality instrument for half the price. I’ve played both my SX guitars all week comparing all the time with all my other Strats’ and I’m struggling to find a difference in playability or sound. OK some of the hardware isn’t of the same quality, but it works fine and doesn’t impair the performance of the tuning or tremolo action.
