She's purdy!

Cool. I‘m still Impressed with my 2010 60s CV Strat. If not for the head stock you would never know it was a lower budget guitar.

 

[Torvald]

HNGD! I have the exact same guitar, but an 09 model. Weighs slightly under 7 lbs.

HNGD!

I had one of those too. Same weight as yours. Great guitar but the neck was very skinny

That's odd. Was it a 50's CV? Mine's not skinny..86" at the first fret.

Yup it was! Didn't measure it but it felt way skinnier than my AO50 strat neck. Could also be I'm so used to thick necks that anything that is not very thick feels skinny to me.
Necks are sanded by hand so there could slso be some variation between two guitars of the same model

HNGD! Nice find.

I thought that the bigger neck was typical of the 50's CV's. My favorite necks are the '59 roundbacks and the PRS wide/fats. My Squier neck is right in there.

Thanks for all of the likes. It seems these are very popular. It has upgraded Kluson tuners too.

I might put a CRL switch in it. I'll probably leave the small pots if they work okay.

 

[RavenPOL]

Nice burst. Looks clean. HNGD.

 

[GrooVey]

Slick!

Lovely guitar.. the CV's are the dogs b0ll0cks in my book..

The Chinese guitar laying in that case is as good, if not better.. than anything Leo put out in the 50/60s.. and certainly better than anything Fender were 'attempting' in the 70s that's for sure, and most likely equal to many present day models too..

Any gigging guitarist who knows a good instrument when he sees it would tell you the same thing..
