An immaculate example of Squier's gorgeous Classic Vibe 50s Telecaster in White Blonde.
The Classic Vibe is back in full vintage force. Squier have kitted the Tele out with cool retro features aligned with the hardware, woods and specs used to build the first Fender guitars.
Telecasters have always had an old school feel, but the Classic Vibe takes things to the next level. The black pickguard, ashtray bridge and plenty more pay homage to the ‘50s design.
Construction
As you’d expect from a classically styled guitar, the Squier Tele opts for a Pine body with comfortable Maple neck and tall narrow frets. This is super easy to pick up and play, no matter your ability or preferences. There’s nothing better than a guitar that feels familiar as soon as it’s in your hands.
Sound
This is where the Squier comes into its own. This Tele is equipped with Fender designed single coil pickups, pushing a low output smooth tone. It has plenty of grit when you crank the gain and a naturally nasal, twangy tone.
Hardware
What’s a ‘50s Tele without an ashtray bridge? The three-saddle construction is a true vintage appointment. Not only does it add plenty of aesthetic accuracy, but will help keep the guitar in tune and the intonation steady.
