Value For Money : Excellent
Chinese. I had some Chinese hands and frankly has never t folichon except SERIES Classic Vibe, either Tele or Start 50 and 60.
See Notice and site builder for CHARACTERISTICS Retailer.
Otherwise, it's a Tele, neither more nor less.
I have prciser j'cris notice that with the factory version at the top, because a few days ago, I changed the pickups because of lack of PCHE the neck pickup (m me and aprsrhaussage rglage) criticized by a lot of users of CV50.
FYI, I changed all the electronic version 52 for a plate-made by a luthier and microphones Tornado MS. I put a humbucker in the neck, the dfonce already exists in the body APRS t have the pickguard. This is the one realizes that the microphones of origin may be not so on top that a (must justify the price of this guitar INTERESTED).
In any case, it is well finished, no default or visual comfort dplorer.

UTILIZATION

Channel trs comfortable, most comfortable of all my guitars.
It is also true for the Classic Vibe Stratocaster (I even sold a Start and US gard Start a CV60 for comfort, with a change in micro / electronic).
A word about the holding of Agreement: trs good, certainly better than other Squier other lines o a change is often mcaniques ncessaire.
It is true that on the other hand are quite steep and it should not be turning a lot for granted.

SOUNDS

So it's a Tele with a real Tele sound (which n'tait not a foregone conclusion with China). Trs same vintage sound, like 52, was lucky, it is.
The sound is twangy and aggressive plutt on the easel, a normal Telecaster characters tell me. The handle is smooth but is sorely lacking plutt potato, even the blues. It can also be of the electronic guitar at the mike, difficult to say.
Obviously you can play blues and quickly from the big rock in many prominent (well, adpend also pedals and amps well sr). One can also jazz to lower the Tone condition.
I play on the Blackstar lights and Fender Blues Deville, with Maxon pedals (compressor, OD-808 well sr, moreover TOD9 excellent pedals, phaser).
In short, a sound well above its price in any case, with the original pickups. on the other hand, with high-end microphones and electronic level, you start boxing in catgories suprieures significantly in terms of price ... Well, a srieusement increases the cost of the guitar too.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for six months, it became my main guitar. I also possde 335, a G & L Tele (too modern for me unfortunately because these guitars are too mconnues). I also had an American Special Strat US I sold my Squier Stratocaster to keep CV60 with Kinman Blues pickups, happiness ...
In short, I would strongly recommend this guitar to anyone who does not pignolent before the Fender logo and love vintage Tele sound.
I personally think that this really SERIES Classic Vibe an excellent quality price.
As for people who have changed the pickups without changing the electronic medium / low end of this guitar, they have apparently due t. Changing microphones for high ranges without changing the knobs, condos, and switch back cblage not put a slick tire front of a race car and therefore do not benefit the bottom the potential increase in performance.
