Fender has put a bunch of Squiers on sale.
www.fender.com
The sale isn't as good as PAS, but they have some really cool 40th Anniversary models and colors PAS doesn't carry at very good prices.
AND they still have their accessories like necks, cases, pick-ups, pedals, etc at 30% off.

Meanwhile ProAudioStar is dropping prices again on a bunch of their Squiers.
My guess is "used" has now become "Open Box" which is cover for selling new cheaper.

What are the material differences between a Squier CV 50’s, 60’s, or 70’s? You all are giving me GAS.

As close as I can tell it's mainly neck thickness, some colors differences, and pickguards. Not sure if the pickups are any different.
I bought the 60's Classic Vibe strat in Candy Apple Red and am going to put a Fender 60's strat neck and 57-62 Fender pick-ups in it.
Everything is sitting in the bedroom until tommorow when my luthier buddy will do his magic before we start jamming.

I bought one "new", one "used" and one "open box" and they were all brand new.
No regrets. In fact I want to buy another one but can't really justify it.

Same as above, I bought four, all were for all practical purposes new.

Ode To The Great PAS Sale of 2022
As the obsurdly good sale from Pro Audio Star finally winds down, I figured it would be a good idea to record all the awesome deals everyone snagged up. What awesome guitars did you pick up and what did you pay for them? Overview of Sale What: New / Used (probably returns) Squier Guitars, more...

I have received 3, and another on the way.
So far all three have been ‘new’.

I ordered a CV 50's, came with some serious fret sprout and some weird dark grain. They made it right and discounted it enough that I decided to order a 60's too. It'll be here Saturday.
FWIW I fixed the fret sprout with a file and a nail file/buffer. Here's the color. It's grown on me, has a little character. The thing plays great now. I've got some mods for both... I'll update when I do them.

They are not returns, they would have things missing, plastic and tag so on, they sell these open box so they can get around Fender pricing requirements, and at $249 they are still making money, sweetwater and thr other online sellers $419 cleaning up

And they are still making money at $249 wonder what their cost is, they sell these as used open box they don't have to meet fenders pricing requirements by doing that

I too had some oddly mismatched grain on mine (only shows on the back).
It grew on me as well after a price adjustment.

They say they have sold 16 and have 10 more available, 26 open box guitars, doesn't sound right does it, I made a deal and ordered an open box Affinity, I noticed it is a 2021 and shipped from Virginia, their place is in New York, so we will see

We’ve already discussed this elsewhere. Fender over-built this year, and this is their way to purge their excess stock off the books before years end.
I heard it from a PAS manager, and from a friend that works at CME (Chicago music Exchange).

Why would all the other dealers not discount their guitars also, and why sell as open box used

Because Fender told them in their deal they can’t advertise them as new at those prices.
CME declined the offer, as it hurts sales of higher priced guitars.
Fender themselves were selling Squier’s at Labor Day at close to these prices (new).
