    I'm a professional jazz guitarist; playability, neck profile and tone, are key for my selection criteria. This guitar has that and more. The belly cut is cool, and the slimmer shape, and build quality are better than Tele's at twice the price. Finish is beautiful as well.

  • Insane bang for the buck

    This thing is awesome. First off guitar looks sick. Kinda wished the flamed top was a little more pronounced, but still looks awesome. The binding looks incredible, and is one of my new favorite looks on a tele. But when it comes to playing its even better. sounds great, feels like an expensive guitar. This is my first tele with a belly cut, and i can honestly say i may never go back to one without it. it feels so good, hugs the body, and is super thin and lightweight. Squire killed it with this one, I dont care what anyone says

  • I would definitely buy this again

    The second I got the email announcement about this guitar being released, I knew I'd have to get it. When it finally arrived, I was not disappointed! The flamed maple is beautiful and is so detailed that it almost looks like it'd have a texture when touched. I had actually been looking at potentially getting a Deluxe Telecaster for a tele with humbuckers, but this satisfied that itch as well! The pickups sound just as good as those on my Fender tele and the humbucker in the neck gives a really warm fullness that the normal single-coil neck pickup on a tele just doesn't have. The belly carve as well is something that you'd normally only find on guitars over $1k like a Player Plus or American Ultra. The amount of bang-for-your-buck on this guitar is insane and I am so happy I was able to get one before they sold out! Only thing I'd say is missing is a rolled fingerboard but, again, that's something you'd normally have to pay at least double for. Would 100% recommend if you can manage to get your hands on one. Plays as beautifully as it sounds.
