CME Squier Classic Vibe JM in Purple

[Jorix]

That’s great.
They do seem really solid, a couple of applications of lemmon oil sorted my fretboard. Feels fine now.
How come yours has a Strat neck??

WHAT THE FUCK
BRO I
WHAT THE FUCK I HADN'T CHECKED THAT
WHAT THE FUCK ANDERTONS

That sucks.

Good eye, I didn't notice.


Something went wrong there... Check the serial number!

[ManFromMars]

Not to out anyone, but I'm already starting to see these pop up for resale. Someone's asking $600 on Reverb...

[Lobsterdeth]

i e-mailed andertons about it and they asked me for the serial number
fender is shipping them a replacement neck, and they'll ship it to me
lmao

Glad to hear they're making it right. What an incredibly odd thing...I've literally never heard of a Squier coming with the wrong neck attached!

[Fenderlicious]

Yes, very weird! Glad it's being sorted.

Do you get to keep the Strat neck?

[Embenny]

FYI, I've just noticed that CME is taking pre-orders on a second batch of these that are expected in early 2021.

Yeah, they're just sending me the JM neck.

Yup, I resisted the first run but I caved as soon as I saw they were running it back and the new ones ship around my birthday. I'm pumped to forget I ordered one and get reminded when the tracking number pops up.

I can remember one on here a few years back that while the decal was 'right', the neck was the wrong scale length(!)

I'll see if I can find the thread, from memory it was a Squier Jaguar and 25.5" scale.

The surprises and wonders of third world manufacturing.
Do let me know if you find it.

Hi guys,

Would any of the owners please be so kind to measure the string distance at the bridge (E to e) and post it here. Fom the pictures it seems to me it could be around 52 mm in oppose to the original 56 mm.

Great! Thanks

Neck is here, got here like last week but a friend had to go into the states to get it for me cause mexican folk aren't allowed over the border atm.

Am gonna be replacing them tomorrow, will keep you updated. Big shout out to Andertons though, no charges, no nothing, just "OK fender sending you new neck brudda," and that was it.
