Hi T2Stratman,
Thanks for your reply.

I, too, do not really use the trem bar, but thought that it would be good to have a guitar on which I have the option (none of my other guitars have trems), 'just in case'.

What is it that you do not like about the 2 point trem? I have read that most people tend to prefer these to the 6 point trems on the Classic Series 60s.

And, yes, I think that you are right about the fretboard radius - because I have been into Gibsons (and their 'off-spring'), I am probably more used to a 12" fretboard radius, although I was getting used to the Squier Classic Vibe 60s 9 1/2", when I had it for those couple of weeks - the 12" is definitely better for me, though.

I also think that a 'larger' fretboard radius suits me better because I am not as accurate as I would like to be when playing quickly, and the 12" is more forgiving, even with smaller frets than I might be used to.

Thanks, once again, for your post, and good wishes.


Maybe don't like is too strong. I just don't see a need (again I don't use a whammy) and I personally think Leo got it right the first time. I think it is more marketing than anything else. Better in the case of the tremelo is mearly opinion.

Still you got a nice guitar that suits you so enjoy it and don't worry what others think.

Hi T2,
Thanks for the reply.

I have been really enjoying the guitar, although I have to say that I think that it is somewhat overpriced (same with the CS 60s Strat, and CV 60s Squier that I had previously), with a more realistic price being somewhere in the $600 for the CS and CP 60s, and about $350 being a good price for the Squier. (If Epiphone can charge in the mid-$300's for the excellent G400, which is an excellent SG copy, then all other companies should take notice, in my opinion).

I am going to attempt a set up myself at some point because the G string on the CP 'stands out' in quite a strange way.

Still, overall (apart from the price) I am quite happy with my purchase, and will stick with this guitar.

I second what you say about not worrying about what others think.

All the best, and thanks, once again, for your reply.

drutgat.
