Great video. The Squier Classic Vibe 60's Telecaster is awesome. I bought one a year or so ago, with the view to modding it. I upgraded my bridge to a gotoh bridge very like yours. I did get a new set of tuners also, actual Fender classic gear tuners, for just over €60. I also changed the stock pickups with a setup of JJ's P90 Simulcast pickups, from a pickup maker in Australia, these are awesome, but to be honest, your stock pickups sound amazing through the Orange Crush!
I buy every single classic vibe tele that I can get 2nd hand for under $275. I think it would be dumb not to. I’ll take as many as I can get. Absolutely the best value out there for electric guitars.
Especially the MIC ones. I gave away a 50's blonde/50's butterscotch and a 60's one. Regret getting rid of the 50's butterscotch and 60's ones. Both were as good as or better than all my MIM teles.
@ I actually don’t agree with you on that. The Chinese ones in my experience are waaaaay too heavy. I traded in my MIC classic vibe, and now I absolutely will not buy them unless they’re made in Indonesia
@@Pdbottleneck Actually the MIC ones that I gave away and the 2 I still have are no heavier than the 2 MII ones I have and have done work on. The 50's MIC one I gave away was the lighest one I've ever played/worked on. I kinda regret getting rid of it because of getting ready to put another b bender tele together for myself. The first run of the China ones had better hardware Tuners/pickups/ brass saddles/better cut nut etc' tighter neck pocket better aligned bridge' less P/U on the neck. Either way' for the money the SCV's are the best deal on a tele' stock or to mod. Yeah if you can get them for around that price' I don't blame you.
@@BryanClark-gk6ie ok I will definitely keep all of that in mind and moving forward I won’t just assume that all MIC classic vibes are worse. I shouldn’t have held that assumption in the first place, I know better than to generalize like that. But I’ll still buy the Indonesian ones in heartbeat sight unseen lol
