Squier Classic Vibe 70s Thinline Telecaster Electric Guitar, with 2-Year Warranty, Natural, Maple Fingerboard

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!

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...

These Indonesian and Chinese Squiers are so good these days. I have three and couldn't be happier. I did get a 70s Thinline that had bad fretwork, and the replacement had a bad tone pot so I kept the loaded pickguard from one and the neck from the other, put them both back together and sent one back. The risk is zero due to the return policy, and the chances of getting a bad one are low. However, if you don't know how to play with shimming the neck, adjusting the truss rod and saddle height, you might want to buy one from a store and make sure you get a good one. I have probably 15 guitars and one of them is a Squier Strat. It's such a great guitar that I bought a 70s Thinline Telecaster and that turned out to be really great too, so I figured I'd go for the trifecta and get a single coil Telecaster. These Squier guitars are so much better looking than Fender versions in my opinion. Yes, the pickups aren't as good, but the bodies, necks finishes and headstock logos are better. Plus, is fun to do upgrades...but they don't need them. Squier headstocks are so much nicer looking than Fender, the font is this gorgeous gold flake, the clear coat is so much better than the Fender satin finish, a thousand times better, plus they're half the price of Mexican and 1/3 the price of American Fenders. The fretwork on the Squier telecasters I've bought recently is beyond great, they're so clean that they'd pass Phil McKnight's stocking test. Plus, if you get a bad one, which is possible, you can return it for a different one. So good!!

its a very good quality tele guitar the finishing is good and tenability is stable and even the even the intonation was spot on direct from the package fret work is very very acceptable tuners are good quality the only problem was receiving the guitar with a curved up pickguard and maybe due to hot weather and storage , but it is not a major problem and pickguard can be changed easily

This is the guitar you want in your life if you love classic rock. Smooth fret board! Awesome tones!! Neck pickup is my favourite!!
