Squier CV FSR 60s Jaguar Olympic White Owners: Please show them off!

Post by MayTheFuzzBeWithYou » Wed Jan 24, 2024 10:43 am

Hey. Call me crazy - I just sold my VM Jaguar in Olympic White because it was too bright white for me - I really need to see some real life photos of these Classic Vibe FSR models (best side to side) to get this out of my system... Could it be that the CV Olympic White has that perfect shade? With slightly more yellow than the VM - moving it close(r) to the MIM Classic Vibe?

Maybe I should just buy an unfinished body and let somebody paint it for me... but this could be a perfectly fine.

Thank you very much!

Bro it’d been four hours.
I think the CV ones are slightly less bright than the VMs but it’s not by much - I’ve seen both in shops but not side by side.

My Whiteout Jag is an FSR CV neck but a VM body, so I don't know how helpful it is.

It was a pic of a headstock that gave me hope… but it‘s a body I‘m looking for.

Time is relative.
😅
I used the comment instead of a bump as already 30something had a look at it and zero comments.

Product photos of the CV differ so much from one shop to the next…depending on the light and all. Once they look „perfect“ and „same as the VM“ in the next.

Thanks to both of you!

Ive seen it in store once. It was a neutral white, not a warmer color temp to it or slightly yellower like you tend to prefer (from what i can gather from your posts at least). If you didn’t like the vm, you wouldn’t like it either

Well, what I can say is that the CV Olympic White looks like the VM Olympic White after only a short time with a smoker. It's not yellow by any stretch of the imagination but it's not quite as white, but in a way that you can really only tell when they're side-by-side.
