Old news but a nice guitar. My favorite Classic Vibe Tele, barely beats out the Custom. Sounds and plays great. Great value.

The ones I've played in the shop have been really cool. I'm most interested by them of the classic vibes because my experience with thinline teles in general is pretty limited, I haven't gotten a chance to play many.

Not crazy about the bright maple neck on some of the CVs.

The next time I've got any money (approximately 2014) I'm going to buy one of these and stick a baritone neck on it.

i love my CV Custom, it just shaded out the thinline. The whole classic vibe series are wonderful and I'm GASing for a CV Strat at the moment as well

They should make a Classic Vibe Jaguar, or make the Jagmaster a classic vibe thing.

Or a Tele Deluxe, with Wide Range HB's.... I'd be sooo jolly.

just keep wishing for a squier one, but for heaven's sake, don't save up for the fender one that's already out!

The deluxe?

Guessing he means the Jag.

I'd love some CV Jags, but I don't really see it happening. Blacktop's the closest we'll get, seeing as how a Squier Jag would presumably cost loads due to all the knobs and switches and fancy bridge involved.

A mustang is perhaps possible though (but they're unlikely to bother, due to the CV Duo-Sonic).

I thought the Duo-Sonic was good enough (or surprising enough, anyway). I've always figured Squier Stangs and Jags with even semi-proper bits on them would be pretty far off but with the introduction of the MIM Jags and Jazzies (Blacktop JM bridge in particular) it may come sooner... probably not CV though.

But WHAT THE FUCK.

Make the Jagmaster bettter than. That guitar is so meh right now, just add it to CV line, and pretend a Hardtail Jag is classic... there we go, no fancy bridge system nada, no ryhtm system fuck it... the CV Duo is not that accurate either.

I'd say it is, apart from the fingerboard specs (which are a big deal for me otherwise I'd have bought a CV of some sort) I'd say other differences are negligible. It's closer to a real Duo than any Squier Mustang or Jaguar would be right now.
A lot of people think the bridge pickup movement is a big deal but given the brightness and snappiness of the CV Duos I'm pretty glad it's not in the vintage position. I don't wanna rock out for just the neighbor's dog.

I said this in a thread ages ago, the thing that makes perfect sense is 60's student model with a 24" scale. Do it with a rosewood fretboard of course and a hard-tail and that way they don't undercut the Mustang.

Also I think enough time has passed that they could revisit some 90's designs either from the Vista Series or the Jag-Stang, and bring them to the CV line. I know a bunch of kids still get into Nirvana and want Jag-stangs and they cost way too much nowadays for a kid starting out.

Also since they always do a strat, a 70's stratocaster with the big headtsock and maple neck. So people can get their Band of Gypsies/Robin Trower on for cheapz. That'd be a strat re-issue that wouldn't be super tedious.

Yeah I played something similar(if not the same) a few years back and they're not touching the CV series.

it's really not accurate at all though. the shape of the body and pickguard are much different. it's based on the 90s duo-sonic which seems to be have been created in some kind of a freehand cut approximation of the original rather than a direct copy. the shape of the orignals, especially the pickguard, look much better IMO.

Not saying they got every dimension spot-on, just that they made what is very much a duo-sonic. I've seen a million of those desert sandy '59s over the last 15 years or so and have just now learned, from you, that the body shape and pickguard on the CV is off, and compared pics for the first time. It's quite different directly comparing, but close enough to fool the casual observer.

Plus, they aren't meant to be straight re-issues, so I don't mind them using a bit of MIM Duo specs... there is nothing distinctly "50s" or "60s" about any of the CV guitars at all except cosmetic stuff.

yeah that's right.

yeah, that's true. I guess I would say I tend to like the OG ones better but, you are right, the squier is still pretty cool. and for almost everyone it does the trick just fine.

I adore the duo I wasn't trying to be an ass.

I just mean, they can bend these definitions abit, release a Jagmaster in the CV line, or some half ass'd Tele Deluxe with phoney WRHB's.... but they won't.

I just think they should use the CV line as a experimental ground, if they build any guitar that quality I will consider buying it.
I already own a Duo and now want a Tele deluxe or Thinline.
