Fun guitar!
Pleasantly surprised by this guitar! Love the feel, tone, and look. Very affordable and sounds great. Never been much on Fender/Squier guitars but the twin humbuckers and the neck on this one had me buying one almost immediately. Very versatile soundwise. A lot lighter than my other guitars, sustain is great, and only feeds back when I want it to. If I didn't already buy one I would definitely have one on my list. $400? A value at twice the price

Right out of the box!
What a beautiful instrument! I got the three-color sunburst. It arrived surprisingly well packed with a minimum of non-recyclable foam stuff and cardboard spacers to keep everything from shifting around. I tuned it up and it plays beautifully, Frets are great. No buzzers. Finish is smooth and glossy. Even the intonation was surprisingly close to perfect.I love it already!

Dead on arrival: Update after replacement
Update 5.14.22.I returned the first guitar, and had it replaced. The replacement was as nicely finished and set up - good intonation, no fret sprout, no buzzing frets - as the original, but with fully functioning electronics. No dead spots or volume drops in either pickup. Fit and finish were ok, after dressing some of the inner surfaces of the f slots with some 000 Emory cloth to remove plastic burrs on the binding.The pickups are good, good enough that I'm going to re pot and cap the thing and see how it shines.For the price? It's amazing. Just be aware that purchasing from another vendor that actually tests instruments prior to shipping may save some time and frustration.4/5 stars, just for QC issues. If you get a ringer (as I think I have with the second one), it's an amazing instrument. And for ~$450? Inconceivable.Original review:At the price point? I'm amazed. I'm a long term WRH fan from way back, and love my vintage 72 Tele Thinline (not reissue). This guitar gets close to that clear and transparent tone that is missing from a lot of paf style humbuckers.It's a beautiful looking and playing piece of dead wood. Electronics don't work at all. I requested a replacement, and will update this review after it has arrived. I really wanted to like this guitar, based on reviews of others and the heritage of this product.My local guitar shop said that they could probably fix it for another $250. That's more than half of the price of the new instrument. And it's just not worth it.

Lovely guitar, shipped quickly
Guitar itself is exactly as I’d hoped, I watched plenty of YouTube reviews before buying. Color / appearance of guitar is beautiful. Shipper was great, everything received on time.

Major Quality Issues
I loved the look, feel and sound of this guitar but I most likely happened to get a lemon and another lemon as a replacement.I am okay with taking a $200 guitar to a luthier to fix the bridge, nut, high frets, or whatever problems it may come with. The ones I received had buzzing, cosmetic issues and bad switch.Classic Vibe is supposed to be a high-end Squire and the quality was truly disappointing.

Versatile tones
This guitar is well worth the price. The pickups sound great and the neck on mine is a ridiculously well made one piece of maple with smooth edges. Although its playing out of the box in tune, there is either a fret or two that needs to be leveled/dressed. The pickups also are not installed flush but they sound great. You can let your luthier give it a good set up and this one will go the distance. Its light, acoustic like over tones when unplugged, and ballsy rock n roll with some "verge of feedback" tones when set right. This is 100% a shoegaze dream machine or a chimey plug and play jangle box....

I wanted to love it
The guitar was great. I loved the natural finish and the glossy maple fretboard. Right before the return window closed I checked everything one more time and found the sound was cutting out in the middle position. I have read some reviews about these guitars and electrical problems. I am not handy with a soldering gun and I didn't want to pay to get it fixed.....no way. I sent it back. I ended up buying a different guitar model altogether from Sweetwater. We shall see. BTW I purchased on Amazon a Squier Affinity Jazzmaster just a few weeks ago. I have had no troubles with it and it sounds great. I need to write a full review soon.
