DO I HAVE THE COOLEST SQUIER CLASSIC VIBE TELECASTER?

[Fenderdad1950]

No, mine is the coolest. Rosewood CV60s neck, Fender CS Twisted Tele pickups with a 4 way.

Then, there is this one...SD Alinco II Pro pickups with a 4 way.

Maybe this one, Andertons Purple CV50, stock pickups with 4 way.

JK, they may not be the "coolest", but they are mine and to me they are

Also working on a refin for my original Crafted in China CV50.
Going with a Chameleon color shifting paint job on it.
I know, soooo '90s. I think it will be awesome!

On the Anderson guitar, it could be a CV copy of Danish Pete's guitar

Not sure I would call it a copy, more of an homage

I am sure Danish Pete had something to do with it as he works/is affiliated with Anderton's.

 

[surfco]

No. You do not.

Looks and sounds great. I like the standard Tele bridge sound but the P90 is good in a different way.

 

[Kungpow!]

Never tried a 90 in the neck of a tele. Bluesy I would think.

Heres my blonde with 4 way, Palo Duro in the neck, diy aged hardware, pots and caps, treble bleed... cool?

 

[jfgesquire]

My mods to my white blond CV were mostly cosmetic. I thought the wood color worked better as a '55, so I changed the knobs, bridge and pickguard to give me that "Vibe". I did change it to a dark circuit too, appropriate for the year. That kept it unique enough to keep it interesting compared to my other Telecasters.

But I couldn't resist the P90 bug, so I modified the heck out of what was a Fender Performer into a 1963 tribute.

In your video, I missed it if you mentioned pot, cap, and resistor sizes. Did you? I also recommend a 4-way switch, especially if your P90 is RWRP from the bridge pickup.

 

[NoTeleBob]

P90's are a treat. Clean and sweet slightly rolled off, mean and nasty with some gain and set to 10 on the guitar. A nice combination on that Tele.

 

[NoTeleBob]

Yours is cool indeed, but mine is of course the coolest I've been contemplating replacing the neck PU with a Gibson Mini bucker myself, but am not sure yet because the guitar actually sounds just fine as it is.

Mini-buckers are cool. Clean and bright. They can drive hard with a pedal or gainy amp, but they can also be clear as a bell. Think sort of BB King tones. A great choice for Fender guys who are used to bright and don't want the dark of even a mild full size humbucker.

If you rout P-90 size and get one of the trim rings that GIbson used on the Deluxe LP's, you can swap between a P-90 and a Mini without any other changes.

Mini-buckers are cool.

In-effin'-deed I've got plenty of experience with them (see avatar) and that's precisely why I'd like to try one with the SQ as well.

 

[greenhornet]

Incredible tone! Great video, thanks!

 

[eddiewagner]

Thats some fine playing.

 

[SneakyPup]

I think mine (lefty) has the darkest neck tint I've seen. There seems to be a lot of variations out there.

Darkest I have ever seen. I dig it!

 

[Fiesta Red]

Yeah, that’s pretty cool.

A P-90 pickup in the neck position of a Telecaster is da bomb…

Eve Monsees agrees with me,

 

[KrenarCilku]

Incredible tone! Great video, thanks!

Thank you!

 

[KrenarCilku]

Thats some fine playing.

I appreciate that, thanks!

 

[Jay Jernigan]

Cool? Yes!

The coolest?

Maybe.

 

[fuzzbox]

Bought this one used for around $300 to load my EMG-T‘s for those pesky venues with noise issues. The tone knob is concentric to include the SPC control adding amazing versatility. Changed to brass saddles. What started out as strictly a backup has earned a permanent spot in my starting rotation as my Tele on steroids.

I just got my Squier '60's Tele Thinline in November- and the neck is almost as dark as the mahogany body!


It is now my only Tele ( just sold my heavy Standard, I just wasn't playing it anymore) and I'm really liking it!
