In Denmark they are 3000 kr. which is a bit more than £300.
I got mine "used" (barely) for half the price and with a hardcase.. Probably the best deal i have ever done, and it was only a 15 minute drive away, lol..
I know what you mean Harry. When i first got it, i was looking into putting Fender decals on it
Simply because there is a lot of dickheads out there that will think bad of you for playing a "china-instrument". Normally i hate china stuff, I'm proud that my Ampeg gear is made in America, cus i know that ever since the outsourced to China people have complained about their sound not being as good.
But my chinese Squier bass.. I have nothing bad to say about it. I plug it into my Orange amp and i have great sound. No effects, no EQ. Oh, and i
love the thick laquer on the neck.
I wanna get a Thinline Tele and a Tele like yours, with maple fingerboard the. (lol).
TL;DR: Squier Classic Vibe is an insane series of instruments, everyone who can't see this is either lying to themself, or doesnt want to admit it.
