I've a cv 70's & it rocks.

@@SuperBroncosguy This is funny, because I have the CV 60s double bound Tele and it is absolutely killer. I play it as much as my Fender Blackmore Strat.

Have a Squire Esquire and quality of materials and playability are AWESOME 🤩

They are very nice. But not quite as nice as the Made In China Classic Vibes...

PRS? Surabaya factory?

Mojokerto

@@sonidamara5018 Perhaps !!

yeah its a great guitar! usually i play les pauls but i needed a Tele to have something different. i will upgrade it soon with new electronics and pickups! feeling is great as it is!

I ordered my Squiers, a strat..VERY NICE, with big assed blemish on the bottom of the body. I got it for a great price! And the Tele arrives this afternoon.

@Mr Tom I also bought a Squier Bullet Telecaster last year in the seafoam colour. It was a bargain used one, I had heard so many good things and didn't own a Telecaster. This guitar is really nice to play, lovely neck, and since changing the pickups it sounds as good as any Telecaster I've heard. Unbelievably good, versatile guitars, I can't stop playing mine. 👍

@AhmadBurmed I bought mine a few years back, and the one.. That I have in front of me is fine. I've had no issues with the switch. Replacing the switch in any telecaster style guitar is not that hard to do if needed to do like a few years further in the future. I play 14 instruments, and all of my string instruments acoustic and electric I learned over the years how to fix and update parts on all of them if needed. The one thing to know, is Fender is replacing the Squier Bullet Series with the new Sonic Series. From what I understand, the bodies of this new series of guitars are supposedly thinner. My recommendation, is whatever guitar you buy, make sure the retailer store whether online or locally has a great return policy. Once in a while, you see a few bad products in any massed produce products out their.. guitars, cars, ect. Good luck to you.

Hi! How about the neck and frets? Do they feel nice? I'm considering buying it online as my first electric

Evrething is great except the tuner wich i will change. They are crap put goto in.

Yes steel saddles are more 'tele" than brass

i agree

I agree with you totally

Haha, strikingly similar story here!...must be 7 or 8 years ago now I had purchased a 50's cv strat from long and mcquade and I had it for a couple weeks and stopped in to buy strings. As I was at the counter paying for them one of the sales guys was behind the counter just noodling on a beautiful blonde tele that I recognized as as the cv 50's and I asked about it. It had just arrived that day on trade and had a few minor dings and I asked if I could check it out. I sat with it in the shop for about half an hour and I was completely blown away by it. That magic thing just happened that maybe only a few guitars in your life will ever make happen and I seriously didn't wanna put it down but I did and left with my strings. All the way home and sitting at home for a few hours I couldn't stop thinking about it so I called the store and begged them to hold it until the next morning for me even without a deposit on it. The guy was so cool and was like "I get it" and put it in the back for me until the next morning when I got back there and promptly traded the strat I had just bought for it. Sometimes in life a person actually finds the great love of thier life, their soulmate if you will and know instinctively that they've found "the one" and that's really the only comparison I can make. I've never met another that I would rather have and I doubt like hell I ever will. I'm sure I'll experience more guitars in my life that are absolutely great and might own some of them but she's just "it"...

Chrome-plated sound more bright, but miss all tasty overtones that one might have with brass saddles.

Also, the weight is 7 lbs, 13 oz.

Oxcarthabu, when you switched to 10s from 9's you didn't have to change the but did you?

Have a classic vibe 60s telecaster, awesome guitar 🎸

I have several Chinese 50’s versions they are different from the Indonesian version. pick ups in the Butterscotch Chinese version are warmer sounding, smaller neck profile which is why I bought them. If your looking for that standard bright Tele sound country sound and thicker neck also called somewhat a baseball neck then the Indonesian might be the one for you. if your looking for that smooth R&B sound funk sound you decide I’m never selling my Chinese versions that’s how well they sound, feel, and look, and play please don’t get Hung up on where there made. Hope this helps who Evers Even looking at these types of guitars you can’t beat them for the money. To me I have Fender guitars but some of these Chinese versions play and sound and feel just as well if not better I know someone might have a totally different opinion you be the judge if you find them to buy play one I dare ya. Lol 😂 you make get hooked.

i have a 2018 CV 70s strat and the tuners are perfect. i bought a CV 60s tele a week ago and the tuners are much more stiff, but still work fine. I played a 50s CV tele while at the store, and those tuning machines felt like literal plastic. It seems pretty hit or miss. Theyre all solid guitars tho

It's a hit and miss I suppose, mine aren't too bad, but the tuners I had on say japanese made fender teles were better.

Thats only your opinion. I have had both Tele's Made in China and Indonesia ones and the Made in China was Superior in every way. Better pots better frets, even the screws were put straight. It's not going to be Fender/Squire difference but definetly the earlier Chinese Teles were better quality.

Pure poetry.

A very good review. StrIght forward not trying to show off like a lot do. Have the Indonesia one in white, but someone. Said that it's only the Chinese one that has the cavaties lined with copper paint, and not the Indonesia ones. You made yours sound really good. Am I right in thinking you are a blues man? Your plying. Sounds like that to me, I Hope you don't mind me saying that. You made the bridge pick up sound realy like I think a tely should. I find the guitar really heavy though, thank you very much for a great review.

The buffer sits in a copy of Klon Centaur made by a random guy from new old stock, military grade parts. It was really cheap and sounds amazing!

It's coming soon, stay tuned!

@@zelon1983 When?

@@TheWGLOVER kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ipNyfJN3sM_dZKM.html

I have one and personally like the frets, its personal opinion but the frets are really well setup

Yep just bought it for that price in $580 CAD. Hope its worth it!

that’s actually just because all guitars went up in price

Inflation only.

mine is a 2019 china made. flamed maple 1 piece neck, 1 piece pine body, steel saddles. comes in @ a little over 9 lbs. put 10,s on it, lowered the string height. $349.00 bucks, wonderful guitar, that was in 2019! I think they are 475.00 now

Fender set the shop up in Japan to make Fenders for America (to compete price wise) but they were called Squiers in UK and elsewhere so it was a different deal back then, not like the Squier name that has bounced from every factory from Japan, China, Indonesia, Malaysia ever since - two different Squier periods basically. Todays' MIMs could just as easily be Chinese Squiers if Fender wanted, it's just business and where the CNC machine feels like working. lol I remember owning so many Japanese Squier Strats that were good - maybe get $50 when I'd sell 'em, looking back they were at least as good as the $430 CV Squiers today - maybe not quite but close. 🎸

My early jap strat is a gem

@@scottykingdavid I have one the early Japanese Fender Telecasters.

The Fender Japan plant was actually making “lawsuit” Fenders, essentially copies, copies that were so good, possibly even better than USA built Fenders if the time Fender bought them. I had a JDM Tele years ago, should never have sold it. I have a USA one now but the proper JDM (export and jdm aren’t the same) stuff was/is crazy good, at the time i purchased it new, direct , it was literally squier pricing and better than any mim Fender stuff around at the time. I looked at a jdm tele but in Ash the price was only $500 less than a mint “used” AO 50’s Tele , no hard case , no nitro and not 1 piece body so i just went USA.

Grover's.

Wilkinson EZ lock non locking tuners. Good quality good price.

No need to change the, tuners iv had these tuners for years I prefer them to locking tuners

Gotoh vintage tuners, not the locking ones, are very good. And about $32.

Whatever it came with. It's the original strings, that were on the guitar

@@zelon1983 fender 9's

Yep. Good pieces of wood dried and cured and finished well are going to last and hold up. If you want to upgrade the cheap electronics or tuners, have at it! Can’t replace the neck or the body without having a different guitar completely!

and how well it is played
