The limited-run Squier Tele Custom Electric Guitar features design elements from one of the most popular Telecasters ever. Agathis body, maple neck with maple fretboard, 25-1/2" scale length, medium-jumbo frets, and 2 humbuckers with independent controls.
I bought this guitar after not playing for about 6 years and wanted a nice inexpensive guitar to jam with on occasion . After playing it and seeing the price I just had to have it . Playability it just fantastic . I even compared it to the original 72 Deluxe and kinda liked the sound of the Squier better ( opinion) . After having it over 6 monthes and getting to know the guitar you'll see some of the flaws and corner cuttings. Some crooked screws ( no biggie ) and such . Simply replaceable thing that won't kill the guitar . After a while the 2 hums though are great ( neck humbucker is great when both clear and distorted but the bridge is lacking, need more power IMO) but will still leave you wanting more . I will be replacing them soon with some GFS Retrotron Liverpools . Even thought the negatives I still cannot knock this guitar . A great value for the money . Truly a cool guitar and would recommend it any day .
I've been playing this guitar for the last year or so and it has been wonderful. One would be hard pressed to look for a guitar with such great playability and tone for the money. The neck has a wonderful feel to it and the pickups are quite decent. My only problem, which seems to be somewhat common, is my input jack has become loose and causes some static while playing. The volume knobs are also kind of screwed up but that is only because I took the plastic parts of the knobs to try and fix the input jack and i kind of stripped the teeth on the inside of the knobs. Other than the input jack, the guitar is super reliable and sounds great.
I'm a jazz/blues player and I have been looking for a Tele with a humbucker in the neck position. I test drove a couple Tele models (Fender 72 reissue thinline and the solidbody) and then, I randomly tried this Squire model. Admittedly, I was not thinking of buying a Squire guitar, but the sales guy suggested I overlook the name and try it out. I'm happy I followed his advice. I was very surprised at how good this guitar played and sounded. It has good tone - deep and warm with the neck pup; punchy and crunchy with bridge. Its weight and density give it plenty of sustain. The action is low and the maple neck was straight (after a minor truss adjustment). I really prefer all maple necks to maple w/ rosewood fingerboards, but that's just me. The only thing I may do to upgrade the model is replace the tuners - really, everything else is fine. And for the price, it is an amazingly good value.
