CME Blue Sparkle Classic Vibe Jaguar
I almost caved on the silver sparkle Classic Vibe Jaguar, but somehow managed to hold off. I’m not sure I can hold off on this one! Blue sparkle with a matching headstock is just too perfect.

Jesus Christ. I don't need another Jaguar, but how am I supposed to ignore this?
I hope they don't make it over to the UK to make my life easier. A stunner.

Tort's a weird choice, but cool finish!

Cool. But tort on that is so wrong.
Mint or even white would have been better.
Has Squier used anything other than tort for the last 3,4 years of jaguars and jazzmaster s?

Re: CME Blue Sparkle Classic Vibe Jaguar
I agree on the tort being an odd choice. Mint or parchment for me, which is an easy fix. Part of me even wonders if an aged/yellowed pearloid guard might look good.

Re: CME Blue Sparkle Classic Vibe Jaguar
Yeah the tort is so wrong, but am I the only one thinking that blue sparkle is sort of reserved for Super-Sonics and this one should be played left-handed (after swapping the pickguard, of course)?

$795AUD with apparently free shipping(??!) here.
Pretty sure I was looking at a similar cost just for a Jag body with sparkle finish. Poplar so should/might be a bit lighter than my AVRI.
Hmm...

Once I got the fretboard oiled and smoothed out, that CV above answers to nobody in quality terms. Pretty much the same in-hand as my 86 MIJ, but I don't have an AVRI to compare.

Crying out for a white pearloid guard.

Will be looking at this very closely.

Re: CME Blue Sparkle Classic Vibe Jaguar
Caution fellow Aussies, the listing says the seller has not set a shipping price to Aus, and I have some memory that CME won't ship here at all.

They're not allowed to sell new Fender/Squier guitars to Australia (no overseas retailer is).
It's also not an unusual arrangement.
