When you played the first chord progression, I was like that sounds like dosed. Then once u played over the loop I went crazy lol. Love the peppers too, good stuff man. I'm planning on getting a CV model myself soon as they said older CV models are better. The model I'm looking at is a 2012 so I hope they do still have those tonerider pickups. Great vid!

Thoroughly enjoyed this. I still hope to grab one of these CV60s teles ...they are beautiful and sound amazing. I have nothing but love for my 60s strat CV.

I find it impossible to play like Rory but i do try and throw his riffs in whenever i have the excuse haha

Opening the video with Dosed... good man!

Benefits of the old ones are alder body, rosewood necks and tonerider brand pickups as stock. For this model they also got the 3 tone sunburst more accurate. Current version is more of a red two tone.

Exactly - and they had a little bit chunkier neck too then comparable modern ones that are smaller. Which is preference thing but i dont really like super slim necks

how great are these!! finally scored a 2011 2 weeks ago and upgraded it with tonerider hot classics, cts pots /new wiring. not a single scratch or dent on it, superb build quality and the finish doesnt have that thick poly look at all.

The older pre 2017 classic vibes come stock with tonerider pickups. Fender outsourced tonerider to make their pickups for them back then.

Was that Bad Penny by Rory Gallagher I heard? Wicked .. Rory is one of the most under appreciated guitarists.

i have a 2010 60's classic vibe. 3 tone burst. it's great. the headstock logo only says "telecaster" instead of custom telecaster. it could very well have gotten a neck switch at the factory as i thought all the bound ones has telecaster custom on the headstock. i souped it up with a van zandt bridge pickup. it's likely i'll use my tele neck i have sitting around. a maple 50's fender neck (from a mij tele). the classic vibe neck is great enough for a project guitar of the future.

Ive had quite a few of them and all said custom so yeh probably did get a switched neck or more a decal blunder haha.

I have 3 of these custom teles, 2009, 10, 12. Extremely lightweight 6 to almost 7 lbs. Completely upgraded with refrets and pickups, electronics..these and the 50s CV stratocasters are now very hard to find..older definitely better!

Interesting video, thank you! I'm currently using my girlfriend's 2011 60s CV telecaster. I originally borrowed it because I spent most of my budget on the amp, with the intention of later buying a guitar for myself. But the CV plays and feels so good... it's honestly hard to justify getting anything more expensive. I owned a 2012 MIA Standard Strat, and the feel of the CV is honestly better. Either way im considering getting another guitar for myself at some point. Do you have any recommendations? I saw you own the new (and old) Sterling Cutlass which seems to be a great deal for the money. What other guitars in the price range up to 1000€/$ would you recommend, and is it even worth spending more nowadays? Would much appreciate some advice, thanks!!

@Paul-D

A good amp will always get the most out of even the cheapest guitar. So was a good call to invest there. The cutlass is another great mid range price point guitar, i have 1 left on sale atm 😁. Dont discount shopping for used guitars either as you can make your money go a longgg way. What sort of tones/feel are you after?

Hi! Currently have a Fender Jason Isbell model Tele but struggling to justify the cost so recently picked up a brand new 60's CV esquire but found the neck to feel quite slim and narrow. You mentioned that the earlier CV's had a different neck carve, could you explain the differences please? Also found the bridge pickup to sound very shrill when compared to the Isbell, I know there is a big price difference but I'm eager to find a cheaper alternative as I usually play Gibsons but want a Tele in the collection just because! Any help would be great, thanks!

If it's under the price of a new one and is all ok - definitely worth buying.

Older is better. I had a 2014 60s strat in burgundy mist. It needed a refret which cost more than what I paid for the guitar.

No they stopped using tone rider around 13ish. Atleast, in all the ones ive had from that time onwards havent had tone riders. They are still good guitars regardless, its just if you really want the best. Shop for these earlier ones that are in great condition.

Body wood always varied a little from model to model and short time periods. The very first CV teles were pine akin to the very early real teles

I've owned 3 Squire classic vibe tele's, the butterscotch (2013), the doublebound (2013) and the white one (2008). I traded them all for a Fender Baja tele and I have to say IMHO they are not in the same league as the Baja.
