NGD, you'll either love or hate it!

[Vince]

I don't LOVE it but I think it looks quite good.

[Bg]

I, too, feel ambivalent towards it.

Gorgeous! How did I miss such a guitar on TM!! Congrats!

that is exactly what I asked myself....I check latest listings every day and did not see this. Must be a better option than "latest listings" I guess

It was even re listed a couple times, it was originally up for $585 and dropped to $525 when I jumped on it.

[HappyEnding]

Nice. I was following that on TM but it was more wishful thinking as I'm currently banned (self-imposed) from new guitars. Garish is my favourite colour.

Another in the I like it camp here.

[OhFuxk]

I hate all 6 screws trem bridge

[Voxshall]

I like it and I'm particularly impressed with the colour of the plastics, best I've ever seen on a squire, not that I've seen that many, but it looks a lot better than the left hand squire my girlfriend is doing up for herself.

[rickenbackerkid]

Yeah all the aged plastics look great. I'm just highly surprised by the whole thing, I didn't know that Squier made guitars this good. I honestly think if you handed it to me with a blindfold, I'd be more than happy to think it was a MIM Fender

Anderton's TV do these exact blind tests. They're always raving about how good Classic Vibe guitars are. Not just good for the price, but good full stop.

nope, i'm one and done on that deal

[Molly]

I like it because it reminds me of a colour I painted a bicycle once as a kid.

I remember that being the general consensus round here too, when they were released.
