Product Description

Squier's Classic Vibe Telecaster '50s puts classic "blackguard" Telecaster vibe into a gorgeous Vintage Blonde-finished pine-body guitar--you'll be hard-pressed to tell whether or not you are holding a premium ash-body instrument. The vintage-tint gloss-maple neck on the Classic Vibe 50s Telecaster has a maple fingerboard with 21 medium-jumbo frets and a modern 9.5 inch radius. Distinctive Telecaster tone rings from the custom alnico III single-coil pickups--giving the Squier Classic Vibe 50s Telecaster clear note separation even when distorted, strong midrange dynamic response and plenty of solo high-end bite. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Squier products.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (25 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "The only blonde allowed in my bed room....."
Sound: Sounds like a deeper, huskier voiced tele.....the kind of guitar sound you want to hear in a smoky blues bar! I like the middle position and neck position best although the bridge is great for cleaner sounds. It everything I had hoped for for the style of music I enjoy.....blues rock, classic rock, southern rock...even some progressive. It sounds good acoustically and amped. Feature: Allen wrench. A better nut would have been nice but I am thinking about installing a brass nut anyway(to go along with the brass bridge pieces). Knobs and switch feel solid....good response from turning the tone knob. I can get any sound I need from it. Overall I am impressed with all of the hardware. Some have mentioned replacing the black pick guard, but I don't know....a dark tortoise shell might look pretty bad ass! These are alnico 3 pickups...not 5's.....they sound great!! Ease of Use: The tone knob works great like I said. I love the neck and bends are easy enough...I may get a pro set up done to lower the action a bit...but very nice as is. I unpacked it, tuned it and it plays extremely well believe it or knot....intonation is great. Quality: The butterscotch blonde is gorgeous...I was not able to find even the tiniest flaw....and I looked hard!! The neck joint is tight and clean....frets are seated nicely and finished well...I can't find any thing wrong with this guitar!! I was a little hesitant about buying a Squier but I am very glad I did...this guitar is under-priced period. Value: I know there are alot of 400 dollar and under guitars on the market...but I don't think this guitar has much competition in quality until you get into the higher priced MIM's or even made in USA Fender tele's....yes...I said it....and I believe it. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had to deal with Fender but I am sure they would be fine. ZZounds has been very good to deal with...this is my third purchase from them and there will be others. About to buy an amp from them. The Wow Factor: It's the only blonde in my bedroom right now!! Beautiful guitar....I love the butterscotch blonde....perfect finish and the neck is down right pretty. Squier did a great job on this guitar. This one is definitely a keeper. Overall: I am keeping it as long as I can play...then I will pass it on to someone deserving....many years down the road. I will probably buy another of the Squier CV series....one of the Strats. It is fun to play and makes me want to play more...a very good thing. If lost or stolen I would buy another one and hope it was every bit as good as this one. Get a hard shell case for this guitar...it deserves it.
Style of Music: blues rock, southern rock, classic rock

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Totally floored!!! It's a Squier!!!???"
Sound: This guitar sounds really great. If you're looking for that true "tele" sound, this guitar will definitely not disappoint. I was expecting the single-coil pickups to be noisy while playing through my distortion pedal (Fulltone Full drive 2) but the buzzing was very very minimal. Country, blues, rock, this guitar sounds great in all situations. Feature: The glossy neck is straight as an arrow. It's a seriously beautifully made and good looking guitar. Ease of Use: Plays excellent. The action and fret height was great right out of the box. No fret buzz what so ever. Quality: Cosmetically superb. I am surprised this is a Squier. I will totally take this on the road. I played it for 3 hours today and it barely went out of tune. The tuners are very decent and seem very durable. Value: GREAT bang for the buck. I would choose this over a MIM Tele any day of the week. The Wow Factor: Super sexy! I love seeing the wood grain through the finish. Overall: I expect to be satisfied with this for a very long time. If this were lost or stolen a would buy another one just like it right away. I have no complaints whatsoever.
Style of Music: Indie rock

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.
