hi i got a question dors bridge position has tone control?
@12:40 i have try multiple 70's indonesian squier, and all sounded thin even unplugged… so a new pickguard should give a good result but may be limited by the resonance (lake of body, of mids) of the guitar… :/
Maybe it's your amp
I'm not sold
those were cleans???
I bought this guitar and I changed the pickguard for a red tortoise one and the only thing I need is to change the pickups but I don't have the money hahaha
A black strat with a maple neck is the best looking guitar there is
Took a 60's sunburst classic vibe and installed a loaded 70's pickguard into it. Sounds great, plays great. Still got it and I'm 64 now..
For me, I was a little disappointed to see dime pots and a cheap block switch when I opened mine up to change out my pickup covers. I didn't expect to see this for a guitar that breaks a 500 dollar bill. Now to drop in a loaded quality pickguard will bring the cost of this guitar up to a MIM Fender. Just my thoughts. It didn't look much different inside then a lesser priced squier.
Great review. Can you, or anyone, recommend a good quality loaded pickguard for this CV 70s strat? Thanks.
Could you tell whether the pots are 250k or 500k?
Humbucker in a strat ? No ta
Or the over sprayed polyester finish 1/8th thick, unwaxed potted pickup….to save money.
I had a fat strat Squire. A red one, bought it in the late 70s. Cheap. Loved it. Rocking some times playing too hard broke it. Stupid. Getting another one soon. Nice feeling comfortable
I am surprised about the questions. The guitar does not play metal or grunge , the user does . You can play any type of style with almost any guitar, pickups and amplifier
is this guitar good for playing grunge? 🙂
I always find it funny when the CV guitars are compared to a vintage instrument, in this case a 70s strat. While I own the CV and have owned a number of CVs.
The CVs are often lookalikes more than anything else, but the big thing about them is there tends to be very little with the vintage 7.25 radius, favouring the 9.5, or the vintage skinny frets etc etc..
I know all about the 70s quality but there are a lot of great strats that came from then, and sure there were some dogs ,poor neck pocket fit, but if someone knows how to set these guitars up properly, and use the the micro tilt to effect it , its a fabulous guitar.
There's a lot more good than bad CBS strats out there contrary to common folklore.
Let's talk about the fact that a vintage strat has 40+ year old wood dried out over the years, some great pickups too.
I own a 75 and 79 strat, 75 is just over 6.5lbs and alder body, 79 is an ash bodied strat that's just over 7lbs..no Titanic anchor weights here.
CVs are great guitars but to compare them to original 70s or other is nothing more than fruitless.
I love the fact that you read from a book to outline this bit of music history. Super impressed, great presentation. Subbed!!
Damn, looks like i'm gonna have to route that neck humbucker that I want lol
Does this classic vibe 70's hum when the volume knob turn on ? Since it has a HSS? Thanks
How well does it hold a tune?
I just purchased the black edition 50s vibe strat and it's awesome.
Made in Indonesia, or Made in China?
the potentiometers value/mark are 250K, or 500K ?
I just bought that exact guitar set up and got a Fender Mustang GTX Amp online. Never as much as touched a guitar and I’m pushing 60. Any tips ?
Amazing guitar. Feels and sounds like a Fender. No you don't even need to change the pickups, if they are not strong enough, raise the heights. Period.
I enjoy the hell out of the classic vibe line of guitars. I have a 50s vibe tele and now this one for my first strat.
I don’t mind the glossy necks as my hands don’t get hung up at all on them.
I have some much higher cost guitars via Gibson and Gretsch, but I’m no guitar snob and just love quality. These are great especially for money.
What country is the manufacturer?
