It is perhaps worth saying that i am comparing this Squier Mustang Classic Vibe with more expensive Gibson SG'61 Reissue, Fender American Vintage '62 Jazzmaster and Fender 60th anniversary American Stratocaster electric guitars. First of all the Squier Mustang is a beautiful guitar from every point of view, that however requires some proper setup.Pros:- The body is solid and thick, the neck and the head stock are great, smooth and very well done.- Surprisingly the tuners are of a decent quality and will keep the guitar in tune very well.- The bridge is good as well as the tremolo unit.- I did not remove the pickguard but i am sure that the electronics is of solid quality. Both volume and tone knobs are dead silent and issueless.- It sounds great, my favorite is the bridge pick up however both pickups together sound pretty awesome.- Very comfortable neck profile.Cons:- The only major issue this guitar has is a fret work, - the fret ends are razor sharp; which is however fixable using proper tools and experience.- One of the nut slots was filed flat causing a sitar effect on B string.These are the steps I did to bring the guitar to a very good level of playability:1) First of all i removed the cheap 0.09 gauge strings and dressed all the fret ends, one by one, applying tons of protection tape to the neck and the fretboard2) The fretboard itself was very dry and pale so it received some lemon oil treatment and was cleaned with a microfiber cloth - looks and feels MUCH better3) After applying some graphite lube to the nut, a new set of regular slinky 10-46 strings was put on4) The neck was almost flat so i adjusted the truss rod to add some relief5) Though it was easy to setup a proper action on low strings, the high E string went down to only 1.7mm at 12th fret with bridge being in its lowest position6) A major problem after the sharp fret ends was an open B string buzz (within both 0.09 and 0.10 string sets), identified as due to the nut slot improperly angled (it was too flat). This was casing the string to produce a kind of sitar vibrating sound. I did not have an expensive slotting file tool so a small sheet of 800 grit sanding paper folded in half did the job. The buzz disappeared!7) Once everything else was properly setup some bridge saddles required to be moved closer to the tremolo to improve the intonation.Fantastic guitar for this price. Hope this helps.

I bought a total of three Squier Classic Vibe guitars. Two are Jazzmasters, and one Jaguar.The Jaguar was my first, and I like everything about it, except the bridge pickup. I'm going to swap it with a mini humbucker, and that should solve that.The Jazzmaster I got first was sonic blue. The photos on here and the videos and photos elsewhere make it look super light, as if you could barely tell it's blue. This is strange to me, because in person, it looks super blue. Sky blue, almost. I hated it... I loved the actual guitar, after a setup. But I would never love the guitar as a whole because the blue just looks bad to me. I did have to shim the neck, and could not get it to stop buzzing even then. On top of that, the pickup selector started flaking out after a couple weeks. One of the tuning pegs was loose. I tried hard despite all that, to grow to love it, but I could not. Especially the finish.That's why I also got a burst Jazzmaster, and the wood blocks actually matched quite well - way better than my old Jagmaster. It came set up quite well out of the box; surprisingly almost in tune. I still pulled it all apart to clean the fretboard, polish all the frets, change the strings, etc. but didn't have to shim the neck (and no shim was present in the pocket). So far, so good. I expect the switch will crap out soon, but hopefully not. I may have to upgrade the wiring harness. This has become my favourite guitar.I would love to buy more Classic Vibe guitars - a Strat, a Mustang, and a Bass VI are all on my radar. We'll see. I already have way too many guitars! I need more time, to actually play them. I also wish Squier made a lefty Classic Vibe proper Jazzmaster Mini, so I could gift it to my son (who is left handed).Anyhow, I don't own any Fender electric guitars, so I can't compare them to these, but I can compare these to other Squiers I've owned and played. They're at least as good as the Jagmaster (I like them better), and way better than the Bullets and Affinitys and the various Squier bass guitars I've tried. I love my Classic Vibes, even more than my Jacksons and Epiphone. Preference, perhaps. They aren't put together with the most care, but you can set them up pretty nicely with maybe an hour of work on your part. And you get to know your instrument better. Win-win!UPDATE, 7 MONTHS LATER:First of all, I did go ahead and upgrade the bridge pickup in the Jaguar to a Hot Rails, and honestly, it isn't THAT much different. I still don't really love the guitar. I'm glad I bought it, though, because I was considering getting a Vintera Jaguar originally, but opted to get multiple Squiers instead. Had I not done that, I might be sitting here with one expensive guitar I hated. Luckily for me, I got the Jazzmaster too, and discovered how much I absolutely adore it. The Jaguar goes neglected, hanging on my wall, collecting dust.My burst Jazzmaster, on the other hand, has been played almost every day of the past 7 months or so. No buzzing, and no issues with the switches or anything as of yet, thankfully. I've changed literally everything about my rig since the day I got it - changed my half-stack Mustang out for a Jazz Chorus, got a whole pedal board going now, and it's just great. The Jazzmaster sounds unique, and it is so inspiring to play. I love it. I have decided to get a Fender Jazzmaster next (Japanese import), and this Squier will stay in my collection. I am planning to string it up as a baritone, and then maybe toss a humbucker in the bridge (haven't decided yet). Compared to the Fender (which hasn't arrived yet, but based on specs and photos), I think it actually looks better. I prefer the skunk stripe neck, and the body finish looks a little cooler to me, unsure about the fretboard yet. But anyhow, you can't go wrong with the Classic Vibe series, I'm convinced. But if you have a nagging in your soul for a headstock that says Fender, even these great Squiers won't quench that completely.UPDATE, JANUARY 2024:I sold the Jaguar, strung up the burst Jazzmaster as a baritone, got my Japanese import, and also bought a Mexican Fender Jazzmaster. The Classic Vibe is probably on par with the Player Jazzmaster, in my books. Actually, if you care about vintage specs, the Classic Vibe is closer to a true Jazzmaster. The fit and finish seems about the same, at the end of the day. I don't regret buying the Player because it was on sale at a great discount, close to Squier prices, but I don't feel as inspired by it. My Japanese import, on the other hand, gets the majority of my attention, now. The Classic Vibe is good, but the Japanese Fender is on a whole other level!

I was able snag this axe on sale for $500 great deal no doubt. Unfortunately the first one I got was Abysmal QC. Sharp frets , finger board damage that shocked me , apparently 5 ppl Inspected this thing and it passed ? Oh boy ! The worst part was the lower frets all needed to be reset . Also 2 dings on the back of the neck . My Luither took a look at it , said 300 to get it play decent. Nope .....! Sent it back . My 2nd came , and it had 5 pretty decent dings in behind the neck , and a shoty switch. I sent it back , waiting for the the 3rd. .I totally understand buying online is a risk when I don't play em , but the price was too good . Honeslty dispite those issue they are great guitars . The neck is fantastic and the pick ups sound great . It really scratches my itch for a mustang. I wish the QC was better and I hope the 3rd one comes with less issues .No matter what they will need a proper set up outta the box. The neck is 9.5 radius which really felt nice , I was used to 7.5 radius but really found the neck comfortable. If your able to find one for a good deal and hopefully no QC issues like I had def worth it .* 3rd one came and it was fantastic! Well worth it in the end !**I've been playing my 3rd now mustang for 5 months now. All this one needed as a set up. Vibrato works well! What a pleasant surprise that was to experience. I have 11 to 48s and she plays great! The pick up here are what make this model special. Squire did an outstanding job of giving a true mustang sound for your money. Pickups really shine using Fuzz ! Esp if your playing outta a tube amp, oh boy they pop! Changed my rating to 5 stars. Squire has never put out finer guitars , maybe as close to 80s Japanese Squires as we will get in this day in time.Keep on Rocking in the Free World !!

いい感じ

デザインもかっこいいし音も気に入っていました。

Wow! I always wanted an offset guitar and did a little research before purchasing. As with many products there are positives as well as negative reviews and you have to weigh the options. That being said I decided to give the squire 70’s CV Jaguar a try.Before the guitar arrived I will admit I was very skeptical & expected something that would require a lot of work & attention to make playable. (Side note: I had a horrible experience with an American made telecaster a couple of purchases ago in hindsight I should’ve returned or refused the guitar but did the work needed to be done). When the Jaguar arrived I can say the setup was perfect as well as everything else. The quality was on par or better than the higher dollar fenders and the sound is excellent! I am very impressed. Made me a believer! Import or not this guitar is worth the price!

Muy buena guitarra, buen sonido, la uso para grabar mis covers en guitarra, ejemplo en youtube busca como "covers PLVA" grabe varias canciones con esta guitarra. saludos
