Pink – Who wore it best?
Not actually a contest, because the real winner is me! Both these guitars are stunning and wonderful to play. But the Yamaha Pacifica's colour is branded "ash pink", whereas the CV Strat's colour is called "white blonde". To my eye — and I'm often wrong on this, but my other half actually agrees with me, in this case — that Squier is pink.
The colour "white blonde" itself looks different on different Fender/Squier guitars. It's a translucent white paint finish that can be accented by the colour of the wood underneath. But in the case of the Squier CV strat, the ones I've seen all look distinctly pink.
And yes, even other branded colours (like "shell pink") look different on different Squiers and Fenders of different origins and years. Some are more peachy, some more vibrant, some lighter and some darker.
Anwyay, this is just for anyone looking for a pink guitar (I've had four and currently have three) but not willing to pay the pink premium — white blonde may be the way to go. Even better, you get some visuals of a wood grain. Also, it's a rare pink guitar with a maple neck, which looks (and feels) fantastic.
Nothing else needs to be said about the CV Strat, other than to me it's perfect the way it is and I see no need to upgrade anything other than myself, a continuous work in progress.
