Customer Review Summary
Squier CV 60s Jazzmaster LRL OWT is a remarkable guitar that offers an impressive sound quality, especially for its price range. Having played this instrument for a couple of months, I can confidently say that it provides a rich clean tone, perfect for cutting through dense mixes while maintaining clarity. The build quality is commendable, with a well-finished neck and perfectly set frets right out of the box, although care should be taken in dry climates to prevent fret sprouting.
The vibrato system is one of the best I’ve encountered, allowing for smooth use without losing tuning stability. The pickups deliver a powerful and articulate sound, making it suitable for various music styles, including shoegaze and alternative rock. The rhythm circuit is a handy feature that provides a softer tone, allowing for a more nuanced performance during band settings.
However, it’s worth noting that some may encounter minor issues such as sharp fret edges or slight buzzing, which can typically be resolved with a bit of setup work. Most importantly, the guitar feels incredibly comfortable to play due to its light weight and balanced body shape, making it an excellent choice for extended practice sessions.
In terms of aesthetics, the guitar looks elegant, and while some may consider the finish to feel slightly plasticky, it still presents beautifully. Overall, the Squier CV 60s Jazzmaster is a strong contender in the budget guitar market, proving that you don’t need to break the bank to obtain a high-quality instrument that sounds fantastic and is enjoyable to play.
Highly recommended for both beginners and more experienced players looking for a reliable and versatile guitar.
