Re: Squier CV Mustang in Competition Orange
Wow, they are really pushing for this custom purple colour.
It's not my vibe but it looks cool with the matching headstock

Re: Squier CV Mustang in Competition Orange
Also, the Squier has a slab body unlike the 70's Fender, which is contoured. So it's more like a "CV Squier with an Orange finish and competition stripe" than a reproduction of the competition Fender.Shadoweclipse13 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 09, 2022 6:15 amThe base color is off to me. I always thought that the base orange was more of a orange-yellow, like a 70s mustard or harvest gold. This looks like Capri Orange with competition stripes. That said, I actually really love the color!!!

Re: Squier CV Mustang in Competition Orange
I somehow think it's a crime to put comp stripes on a non-contoured body. Is it just me?Wucan wrote: ↑Mon Apr 11, 2022 10:07 pmAlso, the Squier has a slab body unlike the 70's Fender, which is contoured.

Re: Squier CV Mustang in Competition Orange
Honestly, that doesn't bother me. I'd prefer contours, but it's doesn't irk me to the extent of the too-fat competition stripes.CROSS_guitars wrote: ↑Mon Apr 11, 2022 10:44 pm

Re: Squier CV Mustang in Competition Orange
Haha, I agree with you. But it's more because of my personal dislike for slab bodies.CROSS_guitars wrote: ↑Mon Apr 11, 2022 10:44 pmI somehow think it's a crime to put comp stripes on a non-contoured body.

Re: Squier CV Mustang in Competition Orange
Andertons have reduced the mustangs to £320 now, as they did with the lake placid blue fsr's. People seem to have drawn the line paying £400 for a Squier Mustang it seems!
I've pulled the trigger at £320, I don't mind the inaccuracies as I loved the capri orange bullet mustang I had.

Re: Squier CV Mustang in Competition Orange
Oooh man WANT
sure hope they lower them over here too.
I got a blue one for €350 but really wanted a competition one... But it wasn't worth an extra 100 tbh
Andertons are cool but the import tax is like 20% so... nah
Even though I have almost £10 to redeem there, extra

Yeah, those are different colors. '71 vs '79:hexes wrote: ↑Thu Mar 10, 2022 4:18 pmit’s not awful, but to my eyes it’s extremely far off in color, nevermind the wrong stripes, and I say that as an owner of a modern capri orange guitar. possible the vintage versions i’ve been obsessing over have faded a lot, but this is what i wish it looked like.
It's still cool they're doing them though.

The black pickups shown later in the thread do look great. I wonder how it'd look with pickups matching the red stripes, though.

Re: Squier CV Mustang in Competition Orange
If you order from the EU then you will not have to pay UK VAT, you'll pay VAT in your country instead.
https://help.andertons.co.uk/hc/en-gb/a ... -Customers
It will be more expensive than the listed price on Andertons because you'll be paying VAT on shipping as well as on the price of the guitar itself, but at least you're not paying VAT twice.The price you initially see will when browsing or adding items to your basket will still be in GBP and include UK VAT (20%)
However, when you have entered your address details you will see the cart recognises this and will automatically change the price you pay to the ex VAT price. From here you can proceed as normal to payment.
That's a bit of a headache... Thanks Brexit!

Re: Squier CV Mustang in Competition Orange
Yep, when I ordered the purple Jag I had to pay around €90, for the pink VI it was a bit over €100.
I just realized that all in all it'd still be around €50 less than what they sell 'em for here... Hmmm
I'm really liking the fact that it's a real "stand out" look/color.
The blue one, though, is beautiful too.

Re: Squier CV Mustang in Competition Orange
If I hadn't already preordered the lake placid blue squier jazzmaster which is coming next month I would have probably gone for the blue fsr mustang a while ago.Pacafeliz wrote: ↑Thu Jun 16, 2022 9:11 pmYep, when I ordered the purple Jag I had to pay around €90, for the pink VI it was a bit over €100.

But this capri orange looks the business in person. The bullet mustang I bought on a whim in the same finish pretty much became my favourite finish at the time.

Re: Squier CV Mustang in Competition Orange
Took delivery of mine yesterday, immediately replaced the pickup covers. As per the other Squiers I own, all it needed was a clean and oil of the fretboard. Looks, sounds and feels good. Can't complain at the choice we've got these days for offsets compared to years gone by.
Looking forward to receiving the lake placid blue 70's classic vibe jazzmaster in the next month!

Re: Squier CV Mustang in Competition Orange
It looks a lot better in those photos than the promo pictures - the black pickup covers make a world of difference.
I agree completely about being lucky with the choice we have available these days. I'll complain about things like the stripe width, but that's really just nitpicking. Compared to 10 or so years ago, we're absolutely spoiled for choice with offsets.
