Product Description

A classic yet modern take on the iconic Telecaster models with incredible tone thanks to the Fender-designed Alnico pickups. Player-friendly features include a slim, comfortable “C”-shaped neck profile with an easy-playing 9.5”-radius fingerboard and narrow-tall frets, as well as a vintage-style Telecaster bridge with barrel saddles and string-through-body design. Also included the addition of a warm-sounding neck humbucker for added versatility!

This model also features vintage headstock markings, rich-looking nickel-plated hardware, and a slick, gloss neck finish for an old-school vibe. Channel the spirit of rock's revolution with the look and tone to match! 

Key Features

  • "C"-Shaped Neck — Slim profile provides comfortable playability, suitable for both traditional and contemporary players.
  • Bolt-On Construction — Produces a snappy note response for an immediate playing experience.
  • Narrow Tall Frets — Offer a controllable feel for wide vibrato and pitch-perfect string bends.
  • Fender-Designed Alnico Pickups — Bridge single-coil delivers the iconic "twangy" sound synonymous with Telecasters, while the neck humbucker offers a warmer, contrasting tone for excellent versatility from a single guitar.
  • String-Through-Body Hardtail Bridge — 6-saddle bridge allows you to precisely set the action and intonation for each string, with the string-through-body design boosting sustain.
  • Vintage-Style Tuners — High-quality, old-school tuning machines allow for precise string pitching.

Not given a thorough test yet, looks great, playability ok. Sound wise, output from the treble side of the bridge pick-up is down a little compared to the bass side, haven’t experienced this from my strat through the same fender blues junior amp with tone controls central.

Finish is good. Easy and a joy to play. This guitar was to be my 2nd Guitar because my 33yr Fender American standard Stratocaster is wearing out. Had 2 refrets previously. Another refret etc would cost almost the price of this Squier Telecaster! No brainy. So delighted.

I have a couple of other guitars from Squier and so expect a high quality product. However, this surpassed them all. The big "plus" is the neck. Firstly, the fretwork is superb, no catches or scratchy bits. But the real bonus is that the neck itself seems to have been rounded. If you've tried one of the Sire range, it's like that. I have a Fender Player series Telecaster but this is far superior. The publicity says that this model was inspired by Keith Richards. Well, Squier, you've done him proud.

Guitar playing brilliantly now but the intonation was out for strings 5 & 6 and the neck was more bowed than I like so I did a bit of fettling. All works perfectly now and looks great.
