I'm looking for a second "beater" tele. This seems like a possibility...

bigmuff113 · August 15th, 2012, 10:58 PM

Yeah, throw $200

Tim Armstrong · August 15th, 2012, 11:11 PM

I would!

I wouldn't want the word "squier" on any of my guitars. I know you can find used mexis for around $250

no brainer dude, hurry...

that's a good one!

psyched · August 15th, 2012, 11:24 PM

200 for a CVC? I'm sure you can find out whether that's out of line for a used CVC if you search the forum... I don't know offhand. Those guitars have a good reputation, though, and unless it plays like a dog it should make for a fantastic backup tele. You could do way worse for $200 to have a backup... and if the Squier on the headstock bothers you, just keep an eye out for a replacement neck on the cheap with the F word on it.

Mmm, if Fender made a MIM tele that came with binding and an ashtray bridge? I'd prolly git one, them bodies is purty dressed up like that.

Squier is the new MIM. Where have you been?

Teleboss · August 15th, 2012, 11:32 PM

I have one I bought new for $327. These are great guitars. Not sure why anyone would call it a "beater" guitar. Very nice guitar. Not sure about the price, but I think $200 would be a fair price if it's in good shape.

Marcus T · August 15th, 2012, 11:42 PM

"Beater" cuz I want one I'm not afraid to mod. My '66 gets the royal treatment and always will. I want a s$&@kicker to stifle my s$&@kicking urges.

Hmm if that's so you will be passing up ALOT of very good quality mod worthy teles...guess more for the rest of us lol

Stratty · August 15th, 2012, 11:44 PM

I'd say that is a pretty good deal. Especially considering how good they are and how much they usually cost. CVs are the top of the line Squiers, and a very very good bang for the buck.

Stubee · August 16th, 2012, 12:12 AM

Good deal. Make sure you like the neck if you don't want to swap it out, it's like no other Fender Tele I've ever owned.

Zephyr · August 16th, 2012, 12:20 AM

$200 would be a steal, if you like the neck. Great sounding guitar, well made. Neck was too thin and glossy for my taste, tho.

+1

If you wait around, someone else will pay the $ 200, maybe more.

Despite the low retail cost, these have a solid "base" value and can't be too hard to sell, in most markets.

Course, I can't have it because it is on my "Prohibited Source" list.

I do too and few if any will be as good as that CVC. Trust me I have both.

OP, if you can get it for less then it's a bargain but $250 is still a fair price if it's in top condition.

tooncaster · August 16th, 2012, 01:53 AM

$200 is a great deal for that guitar. Well made, sounds and plays great, it's pretty. Pull the trigger.

sliberty · August 16th, 2012, 08:50 AM

The fretwork on the CV Squires is generally much better than the fretwork on a typical MIM Std. I'd got for it.

NastyMojo · August 16th, 2012, 08:55 AM

What a deal! Grab it!!

At one point I had a 3 teles, an American standard, a MIJ, and a my 80's JV Squire. Sold the US one (the least nice of the 3) a year or so later swapped the MIJ for beautiful Casino. I'll never part with the squire through. Maybe I'm lucky but it's the best playing tele I've ever owned. It's amazing how marketing and prejudice makes people blind to quality.
