NBD! (sort of)

New to me, anyway

I saw this relic'd Squier Classic Vibe at a local music store for cheap.

I know a lot of folks on here don't care much for relicing, but I thought this one looked pretty cool so I checked it out.

I'm a relatively new bassist and I spent about 20 minutes noodling around on it. Now I understand what people are saying when they say the CV's are good basses! It plays really well.

Story is, the previous owner had the body professionally relic'd. I don't care of it was professional, or if the owner took it out in their backyard and did the job - I really like it!

Looks very nice... hows it play?

It plays good! The neck hasn't been relic'd but has minor wear from previous use, and it's very easy to maneuver. Sounds like what I'd expect a precision bass to sound like
I just ordered some flats for it.

Will a gold anodized pickguard fit on a Squier CV? Thinking about switching the tort out for one. Anyone have experience with that? I've adjusted plastic pickguards but it'd probably be hard to adjust a gold anodized one

I think it was around $160.
