  • Well so far.........................
Style: 50s Color: Butterscotch Blonde
1- This guitar is heavy...8-10 lbs. Not really a deal breaker. Fit and finish seems fine, no high ftets (buzzes). sounds ok , not a tele guy so I'm not sure, (strat guy). The big thing that bug's me is the neck, a little thicker than my strat ( at least an eigth of an inch,) and just enough to be a little bothersome. Yeah I could get used to it but I have an older squire and the neck is like my strat, so no real adjustment between the two. Beautiful guitar, so I guess I'll keep it, I think...??? Continued, two weeks in and I really see and hear the difference in a telly as opposed to a strat. Never thought I would say that. Guys in the band are impressed with the sound, and so am I. In a country band as we are a tele rules, great guitar, very satisfied. One more thing, other than a fine set up (you need to do that on any guitar) don't worry about changing pickups, saddles, the nut or keys. All these are just fine. A little tweaking on your amp and all is well... No way I'll return it!! Enjoy a great price on a really good guitar... ... show more

  • A real looker
Style: 70s Thinline Color: Natural
I have been learning guitar over the last year and decided my beginner guitar was not quite what would take me to that next level of mastery. This guitar with 2 'buckers is in between a typical les-paul and single coil sound, though as others have said, it may not quite hit the 70s "wide range" Fender sound. Still, if you have no reference point that hardly matters, as it sounds excellent and jazzy on the neck and even still a bit tele-ish on the bridge humbucker. I have the natural maple body with the single violin hole - it really looks stunning. The pictures don't quite capture what it's like to behold this guitar in person, as the wood grain is excellently detailed and the white pickguard complements the light wood excellently. The solid maple neck is extremely well finished and smooth but also too glossy. A bit of Scotchbrite lightly applied worked wonders to make it less sticky and more of a matte finish, easier to slide up and down. This guitar was setup quite well right off the bat. Action is moderate by default, I would say, which is about what I think I like because super low action makes bending too difficult. The 9.5 inch radius neck is nice for open chording but it's a lot harder for me to barre than on a flatter radius neck. Not a huge problem, I just bought some slightly lighter gauge strings for the high G, B and E, and, because of the varying gauges, it is nice to be able to intonate each one on its own. I did have to swap the low E for one from a set of 10's (thicker than the default 9-gauge set) to stop an annoying buzz at the nut. I may replace the nut at some point for a Graphtech or something. I play straight into my bass amp (Rumble 25), usually with no effects. Jazzy chords sound very, very nice with no effects. I have never played a 335 but I imagine it's similar in tone to this. A new nut is about the only thing I could see this baby needing at any point in the future. Short answer: I recommend it wholeheartedly if you want something between a single coil and humbucker sound. It's beautiful enough to make you want to pick it up if you're a relative beginner. I didn't find any of the craftsmanship issues that some other tele customer reviewers did here. Maybe they just took extra care with the natural maple thin lines? UPDATE: I upgraded the pickups, for a change of pace. 920D makes a great loaded pickguard with Seymour Duncan P-Rails, and I actually bought PAF sized chrome covers and a new white pickguard for them to match the original look as much as possible. I suck at soldering but I could move the pickups that were already wired into the pearl white pickguard with humbucker-sized cutouts (which are smaller than the cutouts on the stock pickguard). Now I have stealth P-Rail flexibility, all with one push/pull volume pot and one push/pull tone. This isn't a review for P-Rails, but just know that this is a great upgrade platform, if you want regular humbuckers or really anything else, as long as you can find or make a pickguard for it. Since your pickups are solely mounted to the pickguard, it makes it extremely simple to swap out pickguards loaded with different pickups, just like it would be with a strat. ... show more

  • Another home run from Squier's Classic Vibe collection!
Style: 60s Custom Color: 3-Color Sunburst
I grew up in the 80's and 90's. When I first started playing squier was a decent 1st guitar but nothing that a gigging musician would ever play on stage. In my music circle of friends in high school squier was a brand we kind of made fun of. If you still were playing on your $100 squier you weren't serious about music or good enough to play in a band setting. While this way of thinking is admittedly wrong, arrogant and ridiculous it was our way of thinking about this brand back then. Now in 2021 Squier has completely changed my attitude and feelings towards their guitars and particularly their Classiv Vibe line. I have the 50's butterscotch Tele, the red 50's strat, the red 60's strat and the white 70s strat. I've been wanting this 60s telecaster for some time now. Recently I saw this one sold on Amazon as a used guitar at a discounted price. First off let me say I'll eat my left shoe if this guitar wasn't brand new. I could find zero flaws, scratches, dents, marks of any sort. Still had plastic on pick guard and neck pickup. It's an absolutely beautiful guitar. Excellent neck. Seems to be the same neck profile as the 50s Tele but with a rosewood board. Binding on the body looks great. And i gotta say the pickups actually sound good. I'll still probably replace them with my own (I wind my own Tele pickups) but there's no need to replace them they sound decent. The neck pickup is a bit dark for my tastes and seems to have a bit less overall output than the neck but thats pretty normal. I replaced the nut, installed compensated brass saddles and a roller string tree. The neck needed a bit of relief but a small truss rod adjustment took care of that no problem. No sharp fret edges. Frets look to be finished properly. Could maybe use a polish but completely playable right put of the box. My only real complaint is (this applies to all the classic Vibe guitars I have) it is a very heavy guitar. Other than that I have no real complaints. For maybe $100 more dollars in upgraded parts this thing plays like a dream. I love it! I am totally a squier fan boy now. I would play this guitar on any stage with pride. I know some people will try to sand off the squier headstock logo but not me. Not only is that a fairly difficult job to actually get the logo off it ruins the look and finish of the headstock. I don't get hung up on brands anymore. Plug that baby in and play it like you own it! I can't recommend this instrument enough. If you're on the fence take the leap and buy this killer Tele, you won't regret it! ... show more
