Exploring the Squier Sonic Series Telecaster Models | Fender

Description

The Squier Sonic Telecaster electric guitar is an innovative take on the legendary Telecaster. This revolutionary instrument fuses the timeless Telecaster silhouette with modern enhancements for powerful, versatile tone and slick playability. Its solid alder body sports a stunning finish and is outfitted with a black pickguard. The slim, fast playing C-shaped neck is crafted from maple and topped with a 12" radius laurel fretboard for comfortable chording and silky bending.

Sonic Pickups Unlock a Plethora of Tones

The Sonic Telecaster lives up to its name thanks to a pair of Sonic pickups that provide dynamic, articulate tone with enhanced low-end. The bridge pickup yields punchy twang and articulate chime while the neck pickup produces warm, balanced tone perfect for rhythmic playing. A three-way blade switch lets you access a multitude of tones from each pickup individually, both pickups together in parallel, and a special middle "strangle" position that produces a hollow, "cocked wah" tone.

Modern C-Shaped Neck and 12-Inch Fretboard Radius

This Telecaster's fast-playing neck features a slim, comfortable C profile and a 12" fretboard radius for effortless chording and silky string bending. The 22 jumbo frets provide ample room for expressive lead work. The synthetic bone nut and vintage-style tuners offer exceptional tuning stability for consistent tone and intonation.

Other Highlights

A three-ply pickguard, knurled flat-top control knobs and a string-through-body hardtail bridge complete the authentic vibe. Available at Guitar Center, get your Sonic Telecaster today.

    Hard to believe how good this Telecaster is. It's the only Tele I own because I just can't justify the small upgrades you get for spending a lot more when this one feels great and sounds great. The only critique would be the pickups which are comically hot, but still decent.
