The bound body and matching painted headstock highlight gold hardware for a touch of flash, while the comfortable C-shaped neck allows for slick playing. Visit your local Guitar Center today to experience the Troublemaker's rowdy yet refined sonic reputation.

Bound Body and Matching Headstock

A bound body and fingerboard give the Troublemaker an upscale look, while the matching painted headstock provides cohesion. Gold hardware, including vintage-style tuners and a fully adjustable bridge, adds a touch of flash against the black body. White pearloid block inlays decorate the fingerboard for a classic aesthetic. The Troublemaker's stylish appointments highlight its rowdy attitude.

Comfortable Neck and Reliable Hardware

A slim and comfortable C-shaped neck allows for fast, confident playing. Its gloss finish provides a slick feel that won't stick to your hand. Vintage-style tuners keep the Troublemaker precisely tuned, while the fully adjustable bridge lets you customize action and intonation for your playing style. The neck and hardware are designed with player comfort and reliability in mind.

Dual Humbuckers Provide Versatile Tone

The Troublemaker is equipped with a pair of Fender-designed alnico humbucking pickups that provide a range of tones from the bridge and neck positions. Push or pull the tone knobs to activate the coil-split feature and unleash single-coil bite. With two humbuckers and coil-splitting, you have four distinct pickup settings to explore. Dial in everything from bright and jangly to thick and saturated.

    I was looking at add a guitar to my collection which unique and this guitar with its splitable Anico humbuckers makes it unique for a Squire/Fender as this guitar was never made by Fender or Squire. it's a beautiful guitar right out of the box well set-up its versatile but still a telecaster!

  • I really like this guitar. Yes! (with new tuners)

    I like Teles. This guitar felt great and sounded very good. I did put Grover locking tuners on it but, I put new tuners on almost everything. WELL worth the money.

    Love it. Very light, coil splitting is very cool - bridge split tone at 7 w/neck in humbucker tone at 3 gives a neat twangy chorus to a warm fat low. A lot like LP but brighter and lighter. Overall look is superb, but I would like the gold aluminum pickguard if I could get one, but wouldn't change anything else. Only complaint (minor) - the poplar body is soft/easy to strip. Changed strap pins for locking strap pins and even being very careful had to put toothpick slivers in the holes to get things tight.

    The guitar needed a little help right out of the box, but once I set it up properly, this guitar bats waaay above its price point. Gimme this over an Epiphone any day! This plays just like the Fender Kingfish signature model for literally 1/4 the price, tough to beat. I don't feel like I'm playing a second rate guitar at all.

  • What a fantastic guitar!

    I am not a Tele guy, but man this guitar spoke to me, and I just had to buy it. It plays wonderfully and man does it look good! The black and white scheme and the gold hardware is striking, especially with the matching headstock color. Looks aside the guitar really sounds great with the Fender Alnico humbucker pickups. The push pull pots are an awesome addition too. Squier has really upped their game. The neck and fretboard feel really good. Fit and finish is certainly top notch.
