Squier CV 60s Jazzmaster LRL TSPG TCO

What the Squier CV 60s Jazzmaster LRL TSPG TCO offers

The Squier CV 60s Jazzmaster LRL TSPG TCO pairs a familiar offset design with a vivid Tahitian Coral finish and a traditional control layout. Listed at 399, it has a poplar body, a bolt-on maple neck, and an Indian laurel fingerboard with white dot inlays. Squier lists the model as available since July 2025, under item number 619731. It ships as a single guitar, with no case or gig bag included.

The neck has a C profile, a 241 mm (9.5-inch) fingerboard radius, and a 42 mm (1.65-inch) nut width. Its 648 mm (25.5-inch) scale is standard for this style of guitar. There are 21 narrow, tall frets, and the nut is bone. Those measurements describe a straightforward, familiar playing platform, though individual setup and fret-edge finishing can affect how comfortable the guitar feels in practice.

Controls, pickups, and vibrato

Two Fender-designed alnico single-coil pickups sit in the neck and bridge positions. The lead circuit provides master volume and tone controls, with its slide switch at the bottom of the body. A second slide switch activates the rhythm circuit, which has two thumbwheel controls for the neck pickup's volume and tone. This arrangement offers a separate, neck-focused setting without adding a conventional pickup selector.

The four-ply tortoiseshell pickguard gives the coral body a strong visual contrast. At the bridge, a six-saddle vintage-style design works with a non-locking floating vibrato. The hardware is nickel-plated, and the tuners use a vintage-style design. Factory strings are nickel-plated steel in.009,.042 gauge. A tremolo system is included, but there is no supplied case or gig bag.

Playing impressions vary by instrument

One owner chose the Classic Vibe model as a more affordable guitar for rehearsal and live use, with a slim neck as a priority. They found the Tahitian Coral finish more striking in person than in photographs and described the overall finish as very good, with only minor imperfections on the fingerboard. Their guitar needed only an action adjustment before playing. They found the neck slim and comfortable, and reported good tuning stability from the tuners. The bridge and vibrato also worked well in their experience.

That player liked the neck pickup and the in-between sound, while finding the bridge pickup somewhat sharp. They considered replacing the pickups but felt the stock set could be perfectly usable, depending on how often the bridge position is used. They also flagged the volume and tone controls, jack socket, and pickup switch as feeling less substantial than the rest of the instrument. After a luthier softened the fretboard edges and replaced several electrical components and the pickups, the owner reported a much more comfortable guitar suited to rock and surf-rock. Those modifications are personal choices, not requirements for every example.

Other reports are less favorable. One buyer received a box that appeared to have been opened and found the pickguard's protective film already removed. A brochure in the package suggested the instrument might have been used for a photo shoot or audio demonstration. More importantly, that guitar's open high E string would not sound because its nut slot was cut too low, leaving the string against the first fret. The buyer temporarily shimmed the slot and contacted the retailer to request a replacement nut and a partial refund. At the time of their report, they were still waiting for a response.

A separate owner returned the guitar after finding that the playing feel did not suit them, despite liking its appearance. These accounts point to a meaningful distinction: setup and quality can differ from one instrument to another. One owner needed only a small action adjustment, while another encountered a nut defect that prevented a basic open note from playing.

Verdict

The Squier CV 60s Jazzmaster LRL TSPG TCO has the classic Jazzmaster layout, a comfortable neck for at least one reported player, and a distinctive finish. Its pickup circuits and floating vibrato cover the expected ground for this design. The reported concerns involve setup, nut-slot accuracy, and the perceived quality of some controls and connections, rather than a universal failure of the model.

At 399, it may suit a player looking for an affordable Jazzmaster-style guitar and willing to check the setup carefully on arrival. Test every open string, inspect the nut and fretboard edges, and check the switches, controls, jack, bridge, and vibrato before relying on it for a show. If the instrument has clearly been opened or used, confirm its condition with the seller. No case or gig bag is included, so factor that into the purchase as well.
