I've been playing with with the 2026 CV 50's Stratocaster for a few days now making sure everything was ok. Buckle up for the pro's & cons. Pro's 1) the finish on the guitar is beautiful. Some said theirs was more on the pink side rather than blonde. Mine is completely transparent blonde white. The wood grain on the pine body is outstanding. There is a chip though!!! See cons. 2) the neck profile is much thinner and slimmer than earlier iterations of the classic vibe Stratocaster. This is almost like an Ibanez wizard 2 neck! I absolutely love it. I've owned a half a dozen classic vibe stratocasters from 50s, 60s, 70s etc and this 2026 classic vibe 50s strat has the thinnest neck of them all. I'm not sure if that's a new design or a one-off. 3) for the most part the frets are level there are a few high frets so I will need to level crown and polish the frets again. But that's to be expected on 99% of guitars that haven't gone through a plek machine regardless of price point. I'm very surprised the classic vibes come with a bone nut now. It was perfectly cut for this guitar. Other than a couple high frets there's no buzzing whatsoever and the action is beautiful. 4) the action was outstanding out of the box I didn't need to adjust it at all it's almost too low. But I like mine on the lower side. No notes choke out which is a positive given it's a 9.5 radius. 5) the electronics we're fine out of the box no scratchy pots no ground issues ETC. 6) the pickups on the 2026 classic vibe 50s are much better than earlier iterations they are slightly thicker and not as tinny as earlier classic vibes. I will inevitably put in a single coil sized humbucker for the bridge as you know strat bridge pickups are useless. 7) the machine heads are perfect and hold soon extremely well as expected with kluson style tuners of decent quality. 8) the bridge is surprisingly stable given its pot metal material. If you're not a tone snob like me I really don't think you would even need to change it out. This guitar sounds great out of the box. Very 50s sounding. They did a much better of voicing these alnico single coil pickups. 9) all in all this is probably the best version of the classic vibe stratocasters I've owned. I much prefer this over low-end to medium and fender stratocasters. You can always add brass blocks and tremoloes if you need to. Squire has come a long way. Don't sleep on these. Cons 1) there was a chip in the body on the side of the neck pocket. I don't think it's the wood, I think it's mostly just clear coat and finish. It does annoy me but not enough to send it back. Most squires I've owned have the same ship in the same spot. So it has to be something during the manufacturing process. 2) this is not a problem with the guitar just ordering and stock from amazon. I ordered this guitar and it took a really long time to get here because I think their stock showed one available but they did not have it on hand. So it was ordered from somewhere else. So it took a little over 3 weeks to get to me. In conclusion if you're looking for an outstanding Stratocaster and don't want to pay double for low end fender this is absolutely the guitar for you. As I said I much rather prefer this classic vibe than a low to mid level fender it plays better the next shape is better and there's not much difference other than branding and a brass block. The electronics on a load of mid and fender aren't that much of an upgrade in terms of tone. I've been playing professionally for 34 years and I've tried everything as far as pots resistors, capacitors etc tone is in your hands and a great amp. So pick one of these up they are very worth it.

I'm a casual intermediate player of roughly 10 years on and off. I've borrowed or owned several budget to mid-range guitars including a Yamaha Pacifica, Early 90s Japanese Fender Heartfield, mid 2000s MIM Stratocaster, and Peavey SC-3. All of these were either sold or given back 6 months ago before a series of moves. Recently, I decided to buy another guitar to get back into it. I was prepared to get the American Strat of my childhood dreams, but I knew that kind of money would have been overkill for my skill level and intentions. The Player Strat was the next best alternative, but I wanted to test out something a little cheaper just for kicks. Research led me to Squire, particularly the Affinity and Classic Vibe series. I can’t lie. Seeing "Squire" on the headstock instead of "Fender" stung a bit at first, but I realized I'm not nearly talented enough to be that picky so I swallowed my pride. I ended up testing this guitar alongside a Squire Affinity Telecaster. Long story short, this guitar is my personal favorite over anything else I've owned/borrowed, and it's also what I believe is the greatest value I've ever gotten for a guitar. When I first received this guitar, I was very disappointed because it arrived with some cosmetic damage and blemishes. It definitely appeared to be a factory QC issue or was a return/floor model. Fortunately, Amazon was able to fix the situation quickly. Overall, it appears this was an uncommon issue. With that out of the way, I'm glad I gave the Classic Vibe another chance. This guitar screams quality and classic style. The color is a beautiful Fiesta Red that I swear changes throughout the day. Sometimes I see hot rod red, sometimes coral, and sometimes even orange. The neck, fretboard, and headstock of the guitar are maple with a heavy lacquer "gym floor" finish that make moving up the fretboard quick and smooth. The headstock has a classic narrow shape and vintage style tuners. What sets this guitar apart is that the quality of the materials seem very high for the price. This is an Indonesian factory model while the Affinity Series Tele I tested was a Chinese factory model. It honestly had shockingly good sound and looks for just over $200, but I could still tell the quality of materials took a significant hit and probably wouldn't have stood the test of time. I had the same experience with my Peavey SC-3 from six years ago; great sound for $399 but cheap paint and materials immediately started to degrade. I will update this review as necessary with time, but I have a great feeling about this Classic Vibe. Sound-wise, I'm pretty blown away. Out of the box, I experienced zero fret buzz and great action. The sound is bright and clean, and I believe it matches or exceeds the sound quality I got out of my mid-2000s MIM Strat. I'm no audiophile, but this guitar truly sounds like something more expensive. Make no mistake. This is not a $1200-$2000 American Strat. However, based on my experience and that of several Youtubers, it appears Classic Vibe can at least give the $699 Fender MIM Strat and even the $899 Fender Vintera a lot more competition than you would expect. Now knowing what $300-$500 gets for a guitar these days, I'm not sure I'll ever be able to justify the cost of a name brand Fender as a hobby guitarist. Conclusion: This is a lot more guitar than I expected for $399. It screams quality, and I've fallen in love with its classic style. This appears to be as good as it gets for the beginner/intermediate casual guitar player, yet I bet it could hang just fine with a more talented gig musician too. Unfortunately, they may get fewer groupies with "Squire" on the headstock! Additionally, the price jump between the Affinity Series Telecaster at $229 and the $399 Classic Vibe Stratocaster is definitely something I advice biting the bullet for. While the sound quality of the Affinity really was impressive, the quality of materials and construction are pretty far apart. I can't speak on behalf of the Affinity Stratocaster, but I assume the same. Do yourself a favor: buy this guitar and play your favorite song from the 50s to break it in. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Edit: One picture has a switched out pickguard

I got this for Christmas, so I have given it a good workout since then. To be brief, this is a Stratocaster, and a very good one at that. I had an American-made Highway One that was not at all as good as this guitar is. The CV sounds like, and is, a real Stratocaster. Yes, it will require a setup, as all guitars will. For people who are into that sort of thing, no, the trem block is not full size, but it doesn't make any difference in the sound. Once you get this guitar set up, it plays very well. It plays smooth, sustains well, and sounds great. I have to admit, it sounds very good. I am getting all the sounds I want out of it, all the sounds that Strats are supposed to make and then some. There's no need for a pickup swap or really anything. The only thing I've found is that one of the tuners on this guitar is cranky. I may have to change tnose out, maybe, which is like a $30 investment and takes about 30 minutes. But that is not a deal breaker. The pickups are a little more modern-sounding than strictly vintage pickups would be; again, not a deal-breaker. The fact that the bridge pickup has a tone control is amazing. That should be standard issue on all Strats. Volume and tone controls are effective and smooth. I have no problems with the build quality. The neck has some nice flame to it, actually. Overall, to be honest, this guitar is an absolute steal for the money. I could take this on any stage anywhere and play it live with no regrets or reservations. I doubt anyone but a cork-sniffing headstock-trainspotter could tell from the audience. If you are looking at this and have read this far, I think you should probably go ahead and get one. I don't think you'll regret it.

Having owned numerous Fender and other Amazon/Chinese knock-off Strat guitars, this is the most gorgeous, the most well built, the most awesome sounding Strat for the price I have ever found. Being made from pine and not Ash/Alder has not reduced its tone and clarity one bit. The poly paint is transparent (not advertised) so you can see every inch of the pine wood grain... The pick-ups are amazing...no need to bother even looking at any others.. When received, I changed strings, did a minor intonation and bridge height adjust, and coil lowering... which all helped immensely. UPDATE: I am changing to Hipshot Grip-Lock Vintage 6 Inline tuners, as these Squire tuners will not stay in tune, and using Hipshot because these are the only ones I have researched that do not require drilling out the holes. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B087Z3BH2B/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 UPDATE #2 I was wrong...I just realized you will need to drill the headstock holes slightly because both the tuner shaft and the headstock holes are the same diameter...so will need to use a 11/32 drill bit to let the tuner fit better...WARNING: if you don't do this and try to tap the top of the tuner to make it go in YOU WILL BREAK THE TUNER LOCKING WHEEL... If you want to dump $2000 into a real Fender (on the headstock) go for it...but I would highly...highly...highly recommend that you also get one of these...simply as a "throw in the back seat" and not worry about it...guitar But when you do...do a sound/quality comparison and you will be amazed. This a MUST buy right now...2022...before they sell out. I can't wait to see if they do this model again in 2023 and what colors they have.

Picked this up after catching GAS from purchasing the Debut series. This guitar is freaking fantastic out of the box. The Squire guitars have come a long way over the years. After a basic set up she’s a comfortable player. If a guitar isn’t comfortable, you won’t want to play it. I will replace the pick guard with a tortoise shell guard I bought off Amazon. I may swap the neck to my son’s Debut, since that neck is just horrible, and get one from Warmoth. However, I would put this guitar up against any of Fender’s more expensive guitars with no worries. Highly recommend! Edit: I tried swapping the necks and they weren’t compatible. I forgot the Debut Series is a thinner body, the CV neck doesn’t work without routing the neck pocket of the body. It wasn’t worth it.

I was going to buy a high end stratocaster. I decided instead to try out out this Squier product. I've been playing guitar for 40 years for fun. I don't play gigs. I occasionally jam with friends, but mostly play and record my own music as a hobby. I tried out a high end strat at a local guitar shop and then I played this lower end Squire. There was not a noticeable difference (at least not one worth spending an extra $1000+ on). It sounds good clean or with heavy effects and overdrive. This Squier is now my favorite guitar. It's replaced my Santana PRS as my go to. I love it. I highly recommend you give this model a shot before spending a lot more money on the Fender name brand model.

I was a professional trumpet player and drummer. I am not too bad at keyboards and I just got a wild hair to take up guitar. This guitar is an inexpensive Fender Stratocaster and it has the usual Fender quality. Since I'm not going to be playing in a rock band I just picked up a 25 watt small amp. If you intend to play professionally someday then you can get a 400 watt amp so the neighbors can enjoy listening to you practice :)

Don't buy this guitar from this Seller, Wolf Music Company is cheating buyers. I received the guitar with the following issues: 1) Volume KNOB was very loose - almost about to fall 2) Guitar was very buzzy 3) Guitar was not setup properly 4) Neck and body alignment issue. 5) Lots of scratches on the body and it looked like the Guitar was already used. The seller told me to to take the guitar to Guitar Center twice, Guitar center fixed the volume knob but the guitar was still very buzzy after guitar center tech tried adjusting the truss rod and bridge multiple times. Guitar Center tech told me that either the Neck or some of the frets are defective and advised me to return the Guitar. I was shipped a DEFECTIVE product and after discussing the Amazon I returned the product back. Now the Seller had deducted $77 from me in the refund. Seller is cheating, Please stay away from buying anything from this seller.
