Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster Custom!!! I traded my Danophobe and my Dunlop Bass Crybaby +cash for it, but it was really worth it. It sounds so good, has great action and everything.

The salesperson told me that they had had an Thinline too, but that was sold in 20 minutes.

I'll try to get better pictures here soon.

Sweet, another member of the CVC club, Cola, you planing on any mods? Other than fittin a 4 way switch, brass saddles and maybe the pots I think the pups sound good on these. I'm stll amazed how good the neck plays for a sub Â£300 guitar let alone the set up and finish. The binding is faultless on mine

what kind of tuners do these have?

lorez · Post by **lorez** » Wed Mar 17, 2010 9:38 pm

They are ping tuners, spec says "Vintage Style Tuning Machines". Seem good and reading peoples comments elsewhere no on has had any issues with them

hotrodperlmutter · Post by **hotrodperlmutter** » Wed Mar 17, 2010 10:44 pm

i guess i just wanted to know if they were vintage style fenders (slot heads) or regular squier style top-tight ones (with a nut on top).

I hope hotrod wins so I can buy it from him a few months from now.

sounds like a good trade.

Viljami · Post by **Viljami** » Thu Mar 18, 2010 8:07 am

Brass saddles and maybe the pots. I really liked the pup's on the guitar. Especially the bridge. Took some photos of it yesterday and will take more + post them later today.

And yes, I am a bastard. A happy bastard with a CV Tele.

Do an Pirkanmaa scenery snowshot!

Well, maybe an indoor shot. Congrats on the purchasing what seems to be the unanimous winner of the year.

Here are a few I took on my iphone so not great quality. I might dig the proper camera out later:

and differencies in the busrt from my epi lp

Cola, the pups are fine and will probably suffice. I will be tempted to stick an humbucker in the neck though sometime down the line
