Squire Classic Vibe vs Fender MIM

Hi. Got myself a Cort Yorktown jazz box to compliment my Schecter. Bought an Ibanez SA120 but I then realised I want that 2nd position neck+middle pickup of s Fender. Nothing else will do. However I'm seriously out of cash so was wondering if I must "lower" my sights from a Fender MIM to a Squire Classic Vibe Stratocaster? I hear they're almost as. Good as an MIM? Also is a Classic Vibe with a hard case (mint condition) a good buy at R2500? Sorry for the long post.

IceCreamMan Nyce! I keep forgetting you are a lefty 😁

So the CV's are all that people say they are? That doesn't look at all played either!

Of course it had to be butterscotch. Reddit loves Butterscotch tele's...and Boss Katana's.

really pretty acquisition @IceCreamMan . in my humble opinion the outlay you went on it is'nt steep. thats very little pounds to have all in one place for a Fender. especially if you see what prices back here are for things. btw do you know if the Captain and Chapman is still manning their Youtube channel? I seen a couple vids drop recently with 2 other dudes in it that I did'nt recognise.

yeah, i got lucky with this one popping up second hand. As to the captain and chapman...i aint ever seen the captain in the store but used to se chapman on the odd occasion. Now with lock down who knows whats going on.

V8, i was thoroughly impressed with the CV's and would have bought one had this mex not popped up on my radar.

IceCreamMan Fair enough, 350 squids (what looks like unplayed) that's a bargain. Wondering if the pups are ceramic or Alinco on the Mex tele's thesedays?

Personally I'm totally fine with ceramics - but Im a lofi luddite that way. Hope all is otherwise well w/you and the fam in the UK.

Thanks V8 , all good. been working from home since march and have decided to only work from home now. commuting into london is a mission of note, expensive and time consuming. Yeah, all going well. Summer is sposed to be here but i think we had it last week for 2 days. Other than that all good. Andersons just recently reopened but not been yet...maybe some great specials to move stock coming up.
