Bought a 50 Classic Vibe Tele

Post by mickie08 »

Just picked up one of the Classic Vibe teles/ I checked out the 72 reissue that I posted about but the bigsby was not installed very cleanly. It played great, but it was definitely a home job addition and I just decided against it...SO...

I got the white 50's Classic Vibe Squire..

300 USD out the door with a hardcase, strap, and a pack of strings.

Amazing fit and finish for a squire. the neck is nice and glossy with a vintage tint. Plays as well I think as the Baja did (but it has been awhile since mu Baja tele was stolen....) Great sounding pups, all the electronics felt secure and solid. I wa sold before I even plugged it in. Even with shitty used 9's on it it still rang out. String up with some 11 or 12'a and it will be ready to go...

I did try the duosonic and it was pretty cool, but I just thought the tele was a better guitar.

Hot.

I really want one of these, if I ever find some cash burning a hole in my pocket and I don't decide to put it towards a vintage mustang, I'll give one of thses a whirl.

I love this new Classic Vibe series!! I really want one of the 60s Strats after playing a couple of them. They are quite the awesome.
Mustang. Isn't it.

The dinky little crap store by me has the whole classic vibe series in - they are really cool. The tele was really well made and surprisingly light weight.
The bridge PUP gap on the DS is even worse in person!

Well who'd a thunk it. I didn't think people used pine for guitars. I've never seen it before anyway...
Mustang. Isn't it.

Has anyone played the Classic Vibe Duo-Sonic? They look freakin' awesome, but I wonder if they play well at all. (They're short scale too....so appropriate to this forum!)

It played good. They don't look as good in person, unfortunately. The PUP gap is huge and the PG has this weird greenish cast.
