You're welcome Max! Thank you!

Jesus Christ loves you so much and He will save us from our sins if we put our faith and trust in Him! because we all sinned and fell short of Gods perfect glory (romans 3:23) and the wages of sin is eternal death! (romans 6:23) but the gift of God is this john 3:16-21 "for God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. this is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposes. but whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God." and romans 10:9-13 "if you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord" and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. for it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. as scripture says, "anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame. "for there is no difference between Jew and Gentile - the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on Him, for, "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." so God is coming at a time we least expect, and if we put our faith and trust in Him He will gift us His grace and clothe us with the righteousness of His blood (but of course death could not hold Him, He is risen!) and we will have eternal life in His kingdom where there will be there will be no more death, or sorrow, or crying. there will be no more pain, for the former things have passed away. because He loves you so much! (romans 5:6-8) but if we deny and reject Him and don't repent from our sins to follow God, then we will have our part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. because no liar, no thief, no blasphemer (using Gods name in vain as a cuss word to express anger or disgust) and no adulterer (Jesus Christ says in matthew 5 that anyone who just looks at someone to lust for they’re an adultery at heart) will enter the kingdom of heaven. so hear these words, repent and believe the gospel! accept Jesus Christ and confess your sins to Him so that He will forgive you and give you a life with truth and real love and joy and peace that this world can never give you or fulfill in you you! and the love and joy and peace that He will give you will never fade away or perish. this is all if you haven't done this yet and Jesus Christ hasn't saved you yet, also when you have time please you should watch this channel here on youtube called "Christ forgiveness ministries" and hear what they have to say, glory to God.

Thanks George and I'm glad you enjoyed the review. I am working on another review comparison of the stock CV pickups with the Fender Tex Mex which are much more affordable. Please subscribe, thanks!

Thank you for the comment, I appreciate it and I'm glad I was able to help!

Thanks Brock, One more thing to keep in mind is that the TS to have more output. I adjusted the volume to be the same for the comparison but having a higher output pickup does change the sound when using an amp. Also I posting another pickup comparison between the Texas Specials and the V mod 2 pickups. That should be uploaded this weekend. Please subscribe. Thank you!

Hey Gary! Thanks for the comment. I never owned a Tele until I bought the CV a few months back. At $399 it was a lot easier to try it out than buying a more expensive Tele. Now I understand why there are so many avid Tele players. It's got that twang thang!

i got the butterscotch bullet tele and did the same thing...now its my favorite guitar

Somebody I know has a set of Texas Specials they don't want, so I just picked up a Bullet to put them in. Did you run into any issues with installing them? I'm already planning on replacing the pots and switch etc. but not sure if there are gonna be any fitment problems or anything.

I love the bullit pickups.

Hey Rick thanks for the comment. So did you find my comparison about what you expected?

@@airtimedesign actually, yes. I was wondering if you would reach the same conclusion that I did. I wasn't disappointed with the original pickups but wanted to compare to something more "Fender" .

Thank you Steven, glad you enjoyed it. Please subscribe, there is more on my channel.

Thank you, I appreciate it!

Thank you for the compliment! It really is not as big as an upgrade as I was hoping. The stock pickups are not as hot and do not have as much output but that's not a big deal. Just turn up the amp a little more and get the gain. I now have 2 Squier Tele's and one has the TS and the other has stock pickups. I like having both and they both sound great.

Glad you enjoyed the review Nonno and thank you!

You're welcome Muttley! I'm glad you enjoyed the review. It's true the TS are not night and day different from the stock CV pickups but they do have a difference that, for some people is worth the money. I ended up keeping mine and the advantages are more apparent when you play through a good amp. Comparing them direct into my audio interface and my DAW is a good start but not the whole story. The bottom line is the CV pickups compare very well to high end pickups and it's hard to justify spending more money for a very small difference in sound.

@@airtimedesign yea, I understand for gigging or recording the extra $ is justified, but, for one's bedroom or home use? To me , it's not worth the extra $. I did buy some Dimarzio's and Duncan's to replace stock pickups in a couple of my Teles, but, have not changed them yet and I honestly don't know if i will. lol

honestly the only thing i kinda wanna replace on my CV is the scratchplate because it warped. but i dont wanna give up that classic black guard look

Hello Gerair, That was my take away also. I would be happy with either set of these pickups.

@@airtimedesign thanks for the video, I’m warming up to the idea of getting a CV as my next guitar. How do you feel the neck of the CV as compared to a slightly higher end t-style?

@@geralr I love the neck on the Squier CV. There is a video of a blind comparison with high end Tele and CV Tele and I think you would find it helpful. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h6l1l7djyZqXmok.html

@@airtimedesign thank you very much!!

@@airtimedesign for me the CV neck is kinda sticky -too much lacquer maybe ? Don’t like satin necks as were available on the old Mexican Fenders , much prefer a thin layer lacquer .

Thank you Luis, All the best!

Or just giving it a notch more gain.

You welcome John. Thank you for the comment and please subscribe. I appreciate it!

I wonder how Nocaster pickups would sound with a 4-way switch?

Hey Jeff, yeah I'm probably going to change the switch and the pots. Not that it will have any effect on the sound but it's just nice to have better components. The switch actually has pretty solid but after my less than perfect soldering it has developed some static. I think the pot that I soldered the grounds to also has developed some issues. I probably got them too hot.

Hey Jaime, glad you enjoyed the video. Please subscribe!

Thank you David! Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks for your comment Chuck!

Hey Billy, I ended up keeping the TS and I think they are great pickups. The comparison does not what happens when you plug into an amp and with the additional gain it pushed the preamp harder and fatten things up. With that said the Squire stock PU still sound great and it's hard to justify the cost. Please subscribe I am working on a comparison now with the Fender Tex Mex PU.

Thanks Matt I'm glad you enjoyed the review. Please subscribe!

Same way I felt Scott. Thanks for the comment.

I thought the same as you.

A was bright bright BRIGHT and glassy. B is slightly thicker and more balanced. Idk sometimes I think classic vibe pups are too bright but no listener is gonna notice

@@gnoogie You can dial down brightness, but not the other way round.

@@douglasalexander4348 tru, but it's kinda like if you dial in a alot of bass for your guitar tone then high pass the bass. it still sounds bass heavy but not bassy if that makes sense. harmonically different guitars/pickups will sound different even if the difference is mitigated thru eq. no listener cares, but those minute little differences add up in the context of a full songs mix

@@gnoogie Yes, also on early Chinese models there are two cv models, one with alnico 3, 50’s butterscotch (mine), and one with alnico 5, 60’s white. Think the earlier Chinese models had the best pickups, allegedly made by tone rider. Later models had fender A5 on both ? So reviews may differ depending on model and country of origin which is rarely mentioned. Anyhoo, a guitar at this price years ago would have been junk, but this cv is great. I’ve now also got a 2021 Mexican player, I much prefer the neck. It has a different more twangier tone, but still love the vintage looks and warmer tone of the CV so, despite my intentions, couldn’t part with it. Those two guitars and flavours for the price of the vintera modified….

Thank you for the comment BadChizzle, I'm now uploading another comparison of the Classic Vibe Stratocaster with the Fender American Pro. You might enjoy it. Please subscribe Thanks!

@@airtimedesign Done

@@airtimedesign By the way… I’ve had Custom Shop Texas Specials in my 2006 Highway One Tele for years. I did so just to keep it all USA parts pretty much… ha ha… and they are also very good. Also I thought the Highway One pickups were a joke in construction compared to even some very inexpensive alnico pickups. Plus… the sound was very lackluster. Off topic: I’m an Alnico person and have done many A B tests with ceramics… and maintain my opinion that alnico is much better to my ears. Just put that out there as maybe a conversation starter… not an argument with anyone who may read this. Waiting for your Strat video, Chizzle

could that be bc he also changed the saddles to brass?

@@justray510 The CV has brass saddles too. They're chrome plated.

Because both pickups used the same garbage wiring and pots. Texas Specials in my Mexican Strat sound as good any custom shop. Why? I used the same wiring as Fender uses on their custom shop guitars.

@@Somnospeed 🤣

I have a 2016 CV Vintage Blond also made in China with as advertised AlNiCo 3 low output pickups. The Butterscotch was advertised with AlNiCo 5 high output pickups... Both guitars play and sound great! and both have medium jumbo fret wire opposed to the newer models having narrow tall fret wire. Years ago I had a CV Thinline that I swapped out the pickups with Texas specials and it sounded great clean and dirty through a Blues Jr...

The strings and the bridge

lol....thats 500 dollars..

@@jacobbrown1690you still end up with a better playing and sounding guitar than a off the rack custom shop fender telecaster..$500? Not quite, I pay $300 for a fret job..I do everything else myself.

I have a Vintera Tele, coming up on two years now, and the fret wire is getting pitted. I did play it a TON the first six months, I really do love the guitar, but the frets are wearing fast.

@@Kenzabukuro my MIM tele is getting a little pitted. But the frets are not wearing flat to the wood like the squier did. That said I often use the guitar 35-50 hours a week in sessions. I’m still a couple of years till a refrett. I should do SS frets but I’m really not fond of the feel of them.

lol r u serious

Hey Greg, You really can't go wrong with the stock pickups. The TS do have more output and gain and do drive but the both sound good. I'm working on a comparison with the Tex Mex pickups, please subscribe!

Hey Larry, Thanks for the comment and I'm glad you enjoyed the review. Please subscribe!

I thought the same thing. The stock pickups sounded cleaner with more chime and highs. Texas speaks had more mids and were hotter.

The Texas Specials are way better through analog equipment; which wasn’t used here. Trust me.
