Got the CV sa yupangco last christmas...with all the discounts tapos GC it came out mga 20k. I was initially looking at the MIM but it felt too similar to the highway 1...same neck profile and finish, almost the same tone. The CV is different, more vintage, brighter but the neck is thinner than the highway. With that its a totally different guitar from the MIM. Quality is excellent, comparable to the best MIM's and MIA's out there. Squier did a really great job with this line. Only issues I have is that the hardware tends to tarnish faster that i'd like and it's boat anchor heavy (9.2 lbs) compared to the 7.7 lbs of the highway. But despite the weight its one of the most resonant guitars i've owned. Lots of bass and vibration from the body. Maybe heavy pine is a good thing?
What I dislike about pine is it's soft.. well, I once used a pine custom made stratocaster that was lent to me by a good friend of mine from abroad when he came back here.. It was already in "user" condition, lots of dings here and there and relic'ed if that's the correct term..
Once I used it for church, I was directly at the back of the singer.. and then the singer raised both her hands in surrender and suddenly putting it down in a swing like manner, and her left hand hit the guitar body hard.. she was wearing a ring, the ring made an impression on the body.. good thing it was already relic'ed.. kung hindi patay ako sa hiniraman ko.. LOL.
I like fatter necks, kapag thinner and smaller necks ang gamit ko, na-ngangalay ang kamay ko.. I like the MIM tele's necks.. It feels right, though the frets needs some improvement..
a lot of people said that the CV50's has more "twang" than the MIM.. maybe because of the three saddle bridge and the alnico3 pups used.. The MIM's I've tried had more of a modern rock tone, a bit fuller sounding.. I wanted to get a set of Bill Keystones or Fralins pups and try it on my Peavey telecaster copy and see if I like it.. so if I do, those pups will go to the MIM and the MIM pups will go to my Peavey...
Did you change the pups on your Tele's sir?
