Re: CV Tele vs 04 MIM
I've always liked the CV teles for the price point but when it was time to buy a tele I could never pull the trigger on CV, even though it was more tele bang for the buck vs upgrading MIM and Highway 1 teles like I have done. Maybe it is neck shape and nut width, CV feels a little small, not as much shoulder to the neck profile maybe. Also I'm not a fan of butterscotch blonde which is most of the CVs I've come across in person. The white one with black guard I almost got when it was time to get my player series tele but I was looking for the late 50s sound so I figured I would check the appropriate boxes on alder/maple/3 steel saddles/a5 pickups. But I think white guard on a white tele looks better and looks late 50s anyways.
So I guess for me I go Fender unless I wanted a blackguard butterscotch with that somewhat darker rounder early 50s thing going on in which case I think the CV does a great job out of the box.

Re: CV Tele vs 04 MIM
Very close, but MIM. They can both be very good guitars. One thing I would look out for - I once stripped a MIM body that turned out to be five pieces, with veneers front and back. I've on the other hand seen some very low piece-count Squiers, if you care about that.Originally posted by King BuzzoI love when people come up to me and say Your guitar sound was better on Stoner Witch, when you used a Les Paul. ...I used a Fender Mustang reissue on that, dumbass!

Re: CV Tele vs 04 MIM
i liked the CV, the smallish neck worked great form. I did't like the thick glossy poly lacquer, so i went for a partscaster and some rattle cans with nitro.I get the feeling the A8 will blow your skirt up more so - Edgecrusher
