Sounds great man, nice skills! One more month and I will have mine. I can finally quit playing my 40 year old lotus. I cannot wait! Thank you for sharing, take care. Subbed.
Hi I was thinking getting with this guitar! Did you change anything to it? Would you recommend it? I have a couple of humbucker guitars but I need a good strat or a tele. Would you change anything on this guitar? Thanks.
Cheap guitar that punches well above it's weight. Fit and finish is good but the quality of the parts is nowhere near that of a US Made strat. Pickups are great, Switches, output, and wiring is adequate, neck / fret work is very good at the price with no sharp edges or high frets to contend with. The Bridge is what it is. It gets the job done but the trem system is garbage like on any cheap guitar and needs to be isolated for best results - i.e block it off and go hard-tail. Overall though, I think they are a step above current production Mexican Standards and the G&L Tribute Legacy. One you get into The Fender Player and Classic series made in Mexico guitars the Classic Vibe doesn't feel quite as well made or durable - and go the next level to the USA made Fenders or G&L Legacy / S-500 and the Classic vibe is taking in water and sinking fast. Glad I own one but if I ever needed to sell a guitar it would be the first to go.

Brian Joseph thanks for your kind words. Good luck with your new instrument

You need to change bridge saddles, and the pickguard looks awful. The rest works. Peace
Thank you, would changing the bridge saddle to a brass saddle work?
Yes i think they should work buddy

Thank you for that man! I think I will go with a good used Mexican Stratocaster HSS or a used USA Strat!!
