If I were to buy a deployment guitar right now, that would be it instead of the affinity series tele. I may even be inclined to modify it similar to a la cabronita especial (single pickup). They just LOOK so good and have the appropriate bridge and everything!
For the money it's a no-brainer. I have 20+ guitars. Each and everyone modded and in most cases because they needed it... When I bought the CV, I even bought replacement-parts in anticipation of the "less than stellar quality" to be expected of a sub-$500 guitar, and was absolutely shocked it didn't need any!
