Thanks for the nice words guys. Offset guitars are awesome.

I love every bit of the classic vibe series. They feel almost like MIJ Fenders & come without that price tag. The pickups are fantastic. I've heard nothing but praise for this series of Squier guitars.
It's been a while since Fender came up with something this magical. nice score!

@relinquish69: Yeah the classic vibe series are great value for money. Not bad for a China made product. I read rumours on the forums that Tonerider makes pickups for the Squier CV series guitars/basses...dunno whether true or not..

from the looks of the pickup, I would say no. Toneriders use cloth wires instead of plastic. On top of that, Tonerider pickups are very self centred. They never fail to put their big name on the back of the pickup. If they did, they'd probably use the same wires right? Who knows anyway?
the black bobbin might look similar but I'm sure many other pickups are the similar in design.
in terms of sound, I can't be too sure whether they sound similar but what I can say is that they both have the same type of "recognisable characteristics". Something like "you'd know its a "insert pickup brand here" pickup just by one strum" kinda thing. I refer to single coil pickups in this case.
whatever it is, both pickups sound good. for the price, who dares to complain haha! If only I could get my hands on a nice used Squier CV Stratocaster.

The pickups for the CV series are made in the same factory as the Toneriders, like literally on the adjacent assembly line. Little surprise that they share the same QC standard.

My 2005 Les Paul Standard (Manhattan Midnight Blue)
Stop playing solid body for a few years, but recently decided to pick it up again... so got this keeper to end my solidbody GAS once and for all (hopefully)!
Merry Christmas!
