4.5 out of 5 (107 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
"This guitar is one of the best out there for the price."
Sound: It has great tone and sounds great with almost any effect used on it. It sounds great playing it clean or using distortion. It only slightly lacks when trying to play heavy distortion (like metal) but it can still be used fine for that purpose, it just won't sound the same as a Gibson or ESP when it comes to playing metal. Still retains that nice telecaster tone. Feature: The tone nobs and volume nobs allow you to control any sound that comes from this guitar. The neck is also nice and thin to allow for speedy solo's. Ease of Use: Just plug it in and play, it sounds great in its factory setup and I didn't have to do much other than tune it to make it sound good out of the box. Quality: This guitar feels very durable and its paint is flawless. This guitar is easily one of the best that I own and will be used in all my upcoming gigs. The only problem I had was to be expected, and that was the strings that came on the guitar were pretty low quality but a quick change of strings fixed all that. Value: For $230 this guitar is a great buy. Sounds like a Fender, not a Squier. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had to use it. The Wow Factor: A Telecaster body with chrome, covered pickups. Need I say more? Overall: This guitar will last through all the gigging I throw at it and more.

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Squier Custom Telecaster Review."
Sound: Once tuned it sounds great. Humbuckers are fantastic. Individual volume and tone pick up controls allow for a vast area of sound combination. A great concept. In my case, the bridge pick up would not function when the pick up selector switch was put in the combination position. Played separately, the pickups produce great sound. Feature: The only accesories included were the truss rod and saddle allen wrenches. A gig bag would be nice but at $249.00 I can't really complain. Ease of Use: Tune it. Plug it in and you're ready to go. Quality: Here is where the product let me down. This was a new guitar and as such should have worked perfectly out of the box. The bridge pick up would not work when the selector switch was placed in the combination position. It worked fine in the bridge position. One must assume that whoever installed the pick ups and the pick up selection switch didn't take the time or effort to perform a continuity check (at the least) on this components and the final quality assurance sound inspection (Is there one?)was rudimentry at best. In this occurance, the installation of the switch and quality inspections for sound rate an "F". Also, the frets have a rough finish to both sides and will be an unpleasant surprise for anyone who is playing fast. Value: The price is great. Manufacturer Support: I called Zzounds for support and they offered to: (A) Replace the guitar or (B)Issue a refund. I found the representative to be very helpful. As far as repair support with this problem, I called two music stores in my area and neither would do warranty work for the switch. One of these businesses was an authorized Squier dealer. I think that you should be able to have a defective switch under warranty repaired and not have to send the guitar itself back. The Wow Factor: It's a good(The two defects on mine aside)cheap axe and fun to play. The Fender goes for a whole lot more. Overall: I'll keep it even when I buy the Fender. I like its humbucker concept. I would replace it if lost or stolen.
