Happy New Guitar Day for me today. Kinda mixed emotions about it. I am no longer in the Squier Club anymore. Wife says I can only have 3 electric guitars and an acoustic at any given time. So out of my collection, I had to depart with my beloved Squier CV 60.

In it's place is a shiney new black with rosewood neck Fender Blacktop Stratocaster. (pics to follow) This is a definate step up from the CV 60 as far as tone. It plays like a dream. I had them set it it withs 10-46's. Love all 5 tones I can get from the guitar. Still playing around with the distortion. Very fun guitar to play.

Well that is a good step up.

Enjoy it.

Still playing around with it today. Sorry, forgot to take pics today, and it's too late to bust out the camara now. Let's see what I can do tomorrow.

.....then he wouldn't be able to afford even a single Squier. And his lawyer would be shopping at the Custom Shop.

Congrats, you're happy, she's happy, everybody's happy.

Alright guys and gals, pics as promised.

The old guitar:

And here are the pics of the new one. Sorry for the picture quality, photography is not my forte. Neither is changing the date stamp on my camara.

Sorry for not posting sooner, but most of my free time has been spent with this beauty either on my knee or strapped to my shoulder. I do have a few cosmetic fixes in store for this baby. Chrome Tele knobs for the Volume and Tone knobs. Also I am really partial to Fender/Schaller locking tuners. There is nothing wrong with these tuners.

In fact, I really have been putting this baby through the paces this week and cannot find any real issues with it at all. Fender really got their act togther with this guitar. I would recommend this guitar to any musician looking for a new guitar in the beginner to intermediate range. For the pros... It might need a little tweeking here or there, but overall a really well put together guitar. These humbuckers are not for everyone, but definately good for Rock, Blues, Grunge, some Country, and older Metal.

This might not make sense to some...but if really came between my guitars or my wife, my guitars would go in a heartbeat. We just celebrated our 20th anniversary.

My wife just drew the line at guitar number 26-but she didn't mention other gear.If I'm to get another guitar I have to either scrimp and save or get out teaching guitar or gigging again but thankfully I can now work on her for a Marshall 1960A cabinet for next Christmas.

My wife is also on board for me to get new gear. Right now I am looking at amps. I am looking at either a Marshall Haze, Fender Blues JR., or a Fender Mustang IV or V. She just does not want a bunch of guitars laying/hanging around the house.

Plus I'd probably never have touched the Squier again after this purchace.
