I have always been a Strat/Les Paul...
Posted by Anonymous Musician on Nov 24, 2009
Experience w/product: I have heard about it
Reviewer's Background: Working Musician.
Reviewer's Play Style: rock
I have always been a Strat/Les Paul guy. I thought tele's were twang and uncomfortable to play. I got a gig in a country band for laughs and I thought I would indulge in the twang of a tele. I went to my favorite guitar shop with the intention of buying my first tele. I was on the hunt for something in the affinity series due to the positive reviews and the low price. The shop was out of stock and I stumbled on this.
I played it through a blues junior and it compared well to the fenders that were three times the cost.
I then plugged it into a Marshall 2000 dsl 100 like I have at home and I was sold. Talk about twang up the ying-yang, it had it. I like the mellowness of the front pick up. It give a great "stringy" sound for the intro to "The Wind Cries Mary".
My only draw back is that after I got home I could see an imperfection in the grain of the wood through the finish, but I like the guitar so much I will chalk it up to character.
If you can spend a little more on a inexpensive tele, don't mess around. BUY THIS ONE. If you don't like the color, paint it.

i could not be more pleased with this guitar, the only thing that i might want to change is the neck pickup, because its kind of weak, but i plan on getting some fender scn tele pickups as replacements for that anyway. that is the only reason i put 4.5 on quality.

Love My Squier Tele

I had been looking for a Tele for some time and really did not have a $grand$ to get the one I thought that I wanted. I saw this Tele and read the other reviews. For the major part they were stellar in describing this guitar. They influenced me to go ahead and purchase the instrument. I thought if the guitar did not live up to its reviews I could always send it back and keep looking. Estatic to report that the reviews posted here are actually restrained when describing this Squier Tele's attributes. Like calling Stevie Ray Vaughan a pretty good guitar player. I am blown away especially since I have been around the block more than several time with my music. This guitar actulally EXCEEDS its hype-a real rarity. Right out of the box I couldn't believe how well made it was. No finish blemishes, no frets that needed deburring, no set ups needed for the strings, everything matched exactly. Amazing. I have played this puppy hard! through several studio sessions so far and it has performed flawlessly. It has that pure bell like clarity of the best of the Teles. I play Blues and even with a little distortion it gets even better. I think even the late great Albert Collins would have loved this Tele. I know that I do. I love the silky feel of the polyester coated neck. I can sweat and not get stuck on the fret board. I enthusiastically recommend DO BUY this guitar. You will not be disappointed. Other reviewers were correct in saying that this guitar is better out of the box than the lower priced American made Fender Strats and Teles. I say bravo to Squire. They have it made it right with this guitar. Well done.

my dream came true

Reviewer's Play Style: classic rock, whatever sounds good to me
having shopped for more than 2 yrs for the right guitar, I knew this classic vibe tele was the one. The quality and workmanship are evident at the out set, and once you plug it in-instant classic fender tones at your fingers. I recomend this to any one looking for quality and affordabilty. can't wait to get home from work and play some more.

My Beloved Little

I bought this & the Placid Blue Strat CV a few months ago & must say I am having an extremely difficult time deciding on which one to play, because they are both that good. I was rockin' them both straight out of the boxes. All I had to do was a minor tuning on each one. After 40+ years of playing & owning a myriad of Gibson & Fender guitars, I've never had it so good. No matter if I run them through my Crate FW120 Full Stack or my Fender FM212R clean or via my Digitech RP350, I am in Heavenly, Musical Bliss. So if anyone cares to listen to a Classic/Blues/Hard Rocker, these axes will definitely fit the bill. BTW - They are also terrific for Metal-Heads, ie...Rammstein, Metallica, Megadeth, etc... In other words, they both will sound as sweet as Carlos Santana playing "Moonflower" to as nasty as Angus' "Dirty Deeds". I strongly advise getting one or both before Fender wakes up & raises the prices, because presently they are a true bargain.
