I think a CV Duo belongs in the 'short scales' thread but hey... who cares?! Nice guitar, welcome to the family

How you finding that neck?

The necks really nice, it took me a while to get used to as I was used to my Yamaha which had a really narrow neck. The "glossyness" of it also seems a bit less noticeable now but maybe that's just me.

Yeah! Welcome! Cool guitar. I also own a CVduo - it's a great sounding and playing guitar!

Hi sholkham!...welcome, and great to see your Duosonic on here!
I found after getting my Duo that the shorter 24" scale was far easier to play, and it made me realise i shouldntve bought a MIM Nashville Tele...i loved the Tele's look, but i realise now i just couldnt get on with its 25.5" scale AND it's slab body
The Duo was a loud wake-up call for me ...so i sold the MIM Tele not long after getting the Duo and bought a Jagmaster as well...2 shortscale geetars for the price of 1! Thankupleeze!!
I always had the impression that Squiers were pap, but i was blown away when i got mine...i think the quality of both is great for the money..
I found em on Ebay...and got em both for under £140 each...

As theyre cheap, its not too wrenching if you wanna mod em...
Here's my 08 Duo, and my 09 Jagmaster before and after...both have the conversion necks...



Being a resourceful chap i made my own scratchplate and chrome control plate!...i used an anglegrinder to cut the control plate from a 99p Ebay chrome double electrical wall socket blank...and the scratchplate from a £14.99 torty blank that i cut out after tracing round the original...The Zebra Pafs were a better upgrade as well...me knobs were a brill find from maplins electrical shop...£1.49 each

I bought a Vista Musicmaster Bass the other day. It is wonderful.

oh please sell that here when you decide to let go!

nice combi.

+1. Hotrod, don't you have a MM bass?

yeah, but it's not pink with rosewood.

I'll keep you in mind if that time comes, hotrod. I'd really recommend it if you see one about. It's a gem. Pickup is great, too.

I saw one of the Squier Vista Musicmaster guitars on ebay a couple of days ago in Shell pink.

I'm in Winnipeg Canada, and I'm pretty sure that this isn't yours. It's got white Dimarzio humbuckers.

Missing - my Squier Jaguar (Fiesta Red), and Super-Sonic #5 (in pieces)

lulz, robroe thinks any white supersonic is the soapsonic.

i'd consider it a compliment.

BO!

Yup. I win.

at what, exactly?

My own little win. The Billy Bo White Penguin is my dream guitar, and I recently acquired the first one opened of the first batch. The sin of pride.

I saw when they made those and also the black version, very nice pull. It's awesome when people get something they always wanted, you do win.


I want a Bo with that shape too but not exactly like Grestch makes. I drew up my own BO guitar with a more Penguinish headstock and some different stuff. I will eventually have Bo guitars with all the cool shapes he played. That's one of my dreams...

New here and first post. I just picked up this Fender Cyclone and within a few days picked up the Squier Super-Sonic. Been playing 25.5ers my whole life. These shorter scales feel so cool. Gonna be getting a new pickup for the neck position on the Cyclone. It will be an EMG single to go with the EMG81 in the bridge. It will only have a single volume and a bridge-off-neck toggle. The SS has a SD JB in the bridge and Jazz in the neck. I'm loving both of these guitars.

Welcome aboard. Two very nice guitars.

I want a cyclone sooooooooooooooo bad.
