General
In the early days of Fender, the versatile sound, playing comfort and great price of the Telecaster electric guitar immediately turned the model into a big hit. The Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster '50s faithfully recreates those characteristics, setting budding guitarists up with an affordable instrument, complete with that unmistakable Telecaster crystal-clarity, all wrapped up in a slick Sonic Blue finish. For those who want more than just an entry-level guitar, this dependable model might just be your new best friend.
The Classic Vibe 50s Telecaster
The body of this Squier Classic Vibe '50s Telecaster is made of nyatoh, a wood that shapes a slightly rounder sound without adding too much weight. Meanwhile, the vintage hue of the all-maple C-profile neck and the mounted pair of single-coil pickups make sure this model doesn't stray too far from the original. The Alnico 5 pickups give this ever-transparent-sounding guitar the necessary warmth and punch, making it perfect for country, blues, jazz, rock and whatever else you might want to throw at it. Together with the more modern 9.5" fretboard radius, the twenty-one narrow tall frets support your left hand with a nice-and-light feel.
