it makes perfect sense if you look at it from the viewpoint of, you are acting like someone who used to work for the company and they rejected your design idea and you didnt like it.

and it certainly makes more sense than what you have to say about squier guitars

As soon as he pulled on the whammy bar, the notes lost just died...gone, and you can hear the cheap sounding wood, clearly -- the Squier sound, sort of like a Fender but lacking character, clarity, and sustain!

And don't forget that they don't sound like strats unless you spend a fortune upgrading them. Close your eyes, sounds like a strat to me.

You got dusty ears, kid. The notes continued to ring out when the trem was used. The sustain was also pretty good & clarity was typical strat glass like tones. Sorry, you'r just making $@!& up. Now, show us them squiers you own, boy ? Where they at ?

okay. it's only fair I post some photos. I'll dig the Squiers out of the closet tomorrow and post photos tomorrow night, maybe Monday. We'll see. There's a whole box of CV 50 parts in the closet too...pickups, pots, plates, a GFS bridge, a plate with more CV parts on it. I might do a Fender USA parts caster with the CV 50 pickups, I liked the way the CV 50 strat middle and neck pickups sounded and I'm curious to see how that bridge pickup sounds on USA wood!

You mean MIM wood, unless you're going to purchase a US standard or above. Your guitar is made from MIM parts put together in the US. Not the same as the proper US models. Little heads up for you there, sonny.

omg, youz people are anal, bad. It was unplayable as in...the Squier, out of the box had cracked tuning peg holes so the trem couldn't be used and bends would throw the guitar out of tune; however, it held tune long enough to play some notes and chords, which is how I heard the pickups. There you go making ass-umptions, again!

anal? yeah maybe but the point you are not getting is that squier guitars are completely playable instruments, some may need more setting up than others i agree on that, but to a point where a complete beginner would notice? possibly not. This is what we are trying to drum into your thick skull.

$@!? umptions? i take it you mean i am an $@!? yes very true i am, probably more than you care to realise, the assumption i am making is from your very mouth, it is you who said that squier guitars are unplayable is it not?

you purchased guitars online without playing them first, who's fault is that, and be honest? if you had gone to a shop and viewed said guitars first the shop would have rectified poor setup and playability before selling, or replaced damaged guitars from the box before you had even played it. yes squiers quality control has been a bit lacking in the past, but as part of the fender company, do you really think fender would enjoy hearing that you purchased a broken guitar and couldnt get it replaced? no me either.

So next time you want to purchase a guitar get off ya bone idle, lazy mofo $@! and get to the music shop and ask them if you can have a play with a few guitars before you buy one, and if you dont and get another lemon dont go on a forum crying about it expecting sympathy because i for one will say "i told you so"

All 3 CV 50's needed the neck refinished, 2 needed the peg holes glued because they were cracked at the factory, fret end finishing was necessary on all three guitars, new tone and volume pots were necessary on all three guitars, two showing up with defective pots, the quality...junk, the nuts needed to be shimmed on all of them, and still, the wood and paint of the CV 50's are lifeless as compared to the Hwy 1 wood, which is the point you are not getting.

So, you can keep going around in circles with your harsh vitriol simply because I find a used, stock Hwy 1 to be a better instrument and value than an upgraded Squier.

Anyways, I'm ah gonna photograph the red/maple Squier Strat tomorrow. That one's a whole nother story, needs lots of work too! I'm sure it will find a good home. It's a Squier from when they used good wood but did not do finish work on the neck, made narrower necks, and used cheap parts and cheap electronics. If you spend about...$500.00 worth of work on it, it'll be playable. Sure, if you do the work yourself, about $150, $200.00 for parts, but still...Hwy 1, better wood, better investment.
