Squier Vintage Modified Telecaster Deluxe Electric Guitar, with Maple Fingerboard

No longer available at zZounds
A pair of Wide Range humbuckers gives this Tele its fat tone, while a C-shaped neck gives it its comfortable playability.

For the first time ever, Squier introduces a Vintage Modified Telecaster Deluxe guitar armed with Fender-designed Wide Range humbucking pickups. An acclaimed and time-honored Fender innovation, the Wide Range humbucking pickup delivers incredibly full tone and lends even more vintage-style authenticity to this model.

Other great features include a "C"-shaped maple neck with vintage-tint gloss finish, 12"-radius maple fingerboard with 21 medium jumbo frets and black dot position inlays, three-way toggle pickup switching, four black skirted amp knobs (two volume, two tone), string-through-body bridge with six stamped saddles, and vintage-style chrome tuners.

It was set up poorly out of the box, but it sounds awesome
Sound
It sounded way better than I expected it to. I'm running it through a Vox Nt50 head, and a Jet City 100w cab. I am a recording musician, and I was totally prepared to have to replace the pickups before I could use it in the studio, and I will definitely be using it in the studio as it is.
Features
The pickups sound fantastic. The 4 knobs let you dial in the exact tone you're looking for.
Ease of Use
Super easy to use, just plug it in and play.
Quality
This is the only part of the guitar that is lacking. The fret ends are sharp, and need to be filed down. Out of the box, the action was really high and I had to lower it. The string tree that the high E string sits in has a weird groove in it and it makes a creaking sound when I adjust the E string. The pickguard has a few scratches and divits in it.!
Value
It's a really good value. I bought this because I wanted that tele deluxe feel without spending $800+ on it. I was impressed
Manufacturer Support
Luckily I haven't had to use this yet.
The Wow Factor
I love this guitar. I have no problem putting a little work into it to set it up properly, but I wish that it was set up properly from the factory. I will definitely be gigging and recording with this guitar in the near future.

Musical Background:

I play professionally, also a college music major.

Musical Style:

Rock, alternative, pop punk, church music.
