Customer Review Summary
The Squier CV 70s Strat LRL OWT
However, there are some concerns regarding quality control. Some users have reported issues with glue residue on the fretboard, particularly around the 12th fret, which can affect playability. Additionally, the pickup selector switch may produce unwanted noise, requiring occasional cleaning to maintain functionality. Some players have also noted that the tremolo system and nut slots could benefit from a better setup, as they can be a bit rough out of the box.
Despite these drawbacks, the guitar is praised for its comfortable playability and substantial feel. Many have been pleasantly surprised by the overall quality, especially for the price. The vintage tuners perform adequately, keeping the guitar in tune even with tremolo use. The aesthetic appeal, especially the large headstock and unique colour, adds to its charm.
For those seeking a budget-friendly Stratocaster that exceeds entry-level expectations, the Squier CV 70s Strat LRL OWT stands out as an excellent choice. While it may require some minor adjustments and maintenance, it offers a satisfying playing experience and a sound that truly resonates.
