Members idhindsight Posted February 26, 2010 Members Share Posted February 26, 2010 The "NGD" was last week but just now getting around to posting pics ... She's my first telecaster, and the first time I've played a Fender-like guitar since 94 or so. For good measure, here's some of her with the family (1996 Rickenbacker 360, 2003 Schecter S1 Blackjack) So far, it's everything I expected. Believe the hype about this CV line. Fit & finish is astounding. I'd place it between the Schecter and the Rickenbacker in terms of finish, honestly, and the Schecter was like $899 msrp. Not bad for a $350 guitar. Down the line I will probably try some other pickups and a thinner pick guard, because, well, it's a telecaster, and that's what you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SeanJovi Posted February 26, 2010 Members Share Posted February 26, 2010 Very nice. I'm GASing for one myself, but I'm waiting for a used one to show up on the Bay or CL. Very cool Ric, BTW. HNGD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members roygbiv Posted February 26, 2010 Members Share Posted February 26, 2010 My CV tele gets played every day. No other guitar I own gets the same attention... it just has "it". Congrats and enjoy. Nice collection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hoople Head Posted February 26, 2010 Members Share Posted February 26, 2010 Very nice, sweet grain on the wood there. Looks like a nice collection there, too. Since I got my CV Tele "Custom" last month, my other guitars are suffering from some serious neglect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bcjames Posted February 26, 2010 Members Share Posted February 26, 2010 Thats really nice. I want a Fender tele, but with all these great reviews I'm not sure I can justify the extra cost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ExiledCrow Posted February 26, 2010 Members Share Posted February 26, 2010 Congo-rats! I don't have a tele in my family and with the love that the CV series gets it is getting increasingly hard to resist ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bsman Posted February 26, 2010 Members Share Posted February 26, 2010 What are the necks like on those? Are they 50s (baseball bat-thick) or modern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members idhindsight Posted February 26, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 26, 2010 Very nice, sweet grain on the wood there. Looks like a nice collection there, too. Since I got my CV Tele "Custom" last month, my other guitars are suffering from some serious neglect. Thanks. I love that I could pick out which specific model I wanted on Sweetwater's website; that one had the most aggressive grain. I love it. I was gassing pretty hard for a CV Custom but they're sold out all over the damn place til May. GAS couldn't wait. Oh well, this one sort of fits into this little monochromatic theme I've got going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dcooper830 Posted February 26, 2010 Members Share Posted February 26, 2010 Congrats! I love the color and the wood grain on that. I've heard a lot of great things about the Squier CV Teles. I got my first tele about a month ago and it's amazing. I'm mainly a Les Paul guy but I've been freakin' out about how awesome Teles are! I hope you're able to enjoy that guitar for many, many years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members idhindsight Posted February 26, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 26, 2010 What are the necks like on those? Are they 50s (baseball bat-thick) or modern? The neck is lovely. It's slimmer than the Schecter which is a touch slimmer than an LP/Louisville Slugger but I wouldn't call it thin. It's certainly thicker than the Rickenbacker (that, of course, isn't saying much). I'm sorta big (tall) and I have hands like an ape and it feels "just right" to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MrChitlins Posted February 26, 2010 Members Share Posted February 26, 2010 What are the necks like on those? Are they 50s (baseball bat-thick) or modern? It feels like they made it by using the bottom 90% of a regular modern C shaped neck. I've had my CV Tele for a while and have come to the conclusion I'll never gel with this neck. My hands (large, but not huge) always feel cramped in chording and the string spacing is too tight for me also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bransonb Posted February 26, 2010 Members Share Posted February 26, 2010 It's amazing how "white" the CV50s often photograph. The true white of the Ric pickguard in those photos offers a better perspective. Still I wish the CV50s finish was a bit closer to Fender's classic 307 blonde. Perhaps they'll age more in that direction . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
