New Squier models for 2010

New Squiers (Classic Vibe series) for us eager dweebs this 2010:

The Thinline model features a mahogany body + medium jumbo frets. The neck radius here is 9.5" The Alnico V pickups here mean there's throatiness should drive be included.

The Custom model features an alder body with a rosewood fretboard, just like how the Custom was in its '60s glory. Same pair of Alnico V pickups.

It seems that 'Squier' isn't a brand name to refer to when one hunts for make-do units for get-by occasions. Long gone are the lemons which we used to fault when dealing with lower rung instruments in this price bracket.
