Members Angry Tele Posted June 4, 2010 Members Share Posted June 4, 2010 if anything Fender's PR goofed. I just got a CVC Tele and I keep thinking, "why would I spend $1600 for the US version?" For $380 you almost get the same guitar. Oh yeah I forgot the US one has nitro on top of the poly hahahahhahahaha FAIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bro Blue Posted June 4, 2010 Members Share Posted June 4, 2010 My wife started buying box wine. The first time she brought it in I was not happy. I either drink beer or vodka, but I do enjoy wine with dinner. I was expecting crap but it wasn't bad at all. It was called Black Box, I think.

It was called Black Box, I think. a few years ago some of the top wineries starting putting thier wines in boxes because the technology has improved. Just like Made in China meant crap 20 years ago bag-in-a-box wine doesnt mean ripple anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brian Krashpad Posted June 4, 2010 Members Share Posted June 4, 2010 It's happened before (maybe) with the Squier Protone models of the late 90's. And the JV, SQ, and E series MIJ Squiers are legendary. My P-bass is an E-series MIJ Squier; I see no reason to get a Fender.I used to also have an MIJ Squier Tele, only sold it because I get a great deal on a butterscotch '52 RI. This is the MIJ: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MrChitlins Posted June 4, 2010 Members Share Posted June 4, 2010 Yes....someone playing letterman with a squier totally proves that there is no difference between cheap guitars and expensive guitars and anyone who thinks so is a cork sniffer. Thanks for clearing that up. The only one that said that was you. The OP merely pointed out a touring guitarist playing a cheap guitar live, on stage, on TV.

I don't find CVs to be that great - flimsy neck, flimsy hardware, and pickups are OK but not great. I've owned one, and played many, trying to work out all the hype.However, you don't even need to have 6 strings on stage: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Grantus Posted June 4, 2010 Members Share Posted June 4, 2010 he gets a face palm for his sloppy re-stringing job... I don't care about the string job, but sweaters should be banned in rock music. They look like a bunch of young lawyers headed to a Saturday picnic to drink a little wine and eat some French cheese.

Members metallica_00 Posted June 4, 2010 Members Share Posted June 4, 2010 Well, if you're just going to strum four powerchords and with some crappy garage rock tone, why bother spending much money on your guitars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fretmonster Posted June 4, 2010 Members Share Posted June 4, 2010 That was fun, I thought they had a good sound and a lot of raw energy. I'm probably the only person with two 90's vintage MIM Fender Squier Series guitars that hasn't sanded off the small "Squier Series" at the end of the headstocks. It should be a badge of honor for punk and blues players IMO. Anyway my instructor played the Strat the other day after a nut and trem block switch (GFS Brass), absolutely loved everything about it including the chunky vintage neck. (His three Strats are all MIA and he has an agent and a pretty sweet little music career goin when he's not helping wayward pickers like myself.)

Members jamdogg Posted June 4, 2010 Members Share Posted June 4, 2010 my CV tele is just about the only electric i play these days.it's not just a good cheap approximation of a pricier telecaster.it's actually a damn good guitar that has its own thing going on.and i like that thing.but come on now.WHERE ARE THE CORK SNIFFERS WITH ALL THE H8!GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! same here, mine is far and away my goto axe. i have heard there are a few corksniffers who actually own them though.

Members SteinbergerHack Posted June 4, 2010 Members Share Posted June 4, 2010 bag-in-a-box wine has come along way. You can get 'good' wine from a box these days.....and it holds up better if you don't drink it all at one sitting. Once you uncork a bottle, it starts to slowly decay; the bag-in-a-box never lets in any air to drive the oxidation process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone here at HC are {censored}ing addict to cheap ass {censored}, and continually post about awesome SX's or Xavier's. Maybe you just confused this place with TGP???Oh and the only one here that really continually beat the expensive guitars are only for studio and touring work drum was Leopardstar. Doubt you want to bring that {censored} up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members genesis3 Posted June 4, 2010 Members Share Posted June 4, 2010 Best story ever was a touring player who played a Squier (with upgraded pickups) set up so well his buddy offered him $500 for it and he would not sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
