CV 60s Custom Tele 3-SB : Very impressed with this instrument.

Build quality and finish was perfect. I wasn't expecting perfection from a Squier tele at this lower price point. But I was very impressed.

The neck heel joint was almost seemless, paint and polish finish on the body and neck had zero (and I mean zero) markings. But the thing that really floored me was the fret end finishing. Mine came rounded and smooth.

Playability and sound was very nice. Smooth neck for a glossy finish and pickups give a great distinct tele sound with decent output.

Like most of us I was considering upgrading the pickups but I really like the ones that come with this guitar.

Set-up and intonation straight out of the box wasn't far off at all to be honest.

The only single negative aspect for me was the hum through the amp from the pickups. Not excessive but there, but this is a common issue with most single coil guitars. So I would recommend adding a roll of copper shielding tape to your order. I shielding mine in 60 minutes and hum completely disappeared.

The reason I ordered this instrument and not a more expensive fender was that I wanted a Tele with a 9.5in radius neck. But I'm very happy that I did. Highly recommended this tele.
