Firstly, I am not an pro guitarist hence my review is gonna be from an amateur's point of view.

This guitar is a really sweet guitar. I bought it in Osaka for about ¥25,800. It came with a trash squier gig bag so I had to buy a better one from the shop. The osaka shop is located in shisainashi, which is next to a lot of major guitar shops. I bought this guitar is Olympic White and looks lovely with the tortoise shell pick guard. The pickups are really good for the price. They have very little noise and hum and they change quietly when the switches are changed. Compared to my CIJ mustang, the sound is less fat but brighter (one of the character of the classic vibes series?) the body is really nicely painted and the neck has a similar feel to the classic vibe strat. The neck is shorter though. The guitar was perfectly set up from the shop. aesthetics wise I would rate this guitar a 10/10. Sound wise maybe an 8/10. The only drawback is the dynamic vibrato. This thing doesn't stay in tune:( if you don't use this feature this guitar would be an amazing guitar especially for the price:)
 
where are the pictures? ;P

Also I was not aware that there was a mustang classic vibe. But im sure those who like mustangs will like the classic vibe, as with the rest of the series. My impression of them is good having played with a classic vibe 50s stratocaster for around 10 minutes, but i'd probably need to play them more to be sure.
 
hi here are some pictures I got from online. I don't have a proper camera now so wouldn't do the guitar justice. Nonetheless, it looks exactly alike.

They sound really good with a vintage "bite" and I am enjoying it at the moment.
