Squier Vintage Modified Telecaster Deluxe Electric Guitar, with Maple Fingerboard
A pair of Wide Range humbuckers gives this Tele its fat tone, while a C-shaped neck gives it its comfortable playability.

"Sounds awesome"
Verified Customer

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.

"Vintage Modified Tele Deluxe"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Once again I'm totally satisfied with Squier even after owning many US and Mexico Fenders. I have a Classic Vibe tele which is as good or better than any Fender I owned and thought I try a Vintage Modified model and once again I'm totally impressed and love the guitar. IMO Asian Fender's are the best bang for the buck with Epiphone as runner up.

"YESS SQUIER!"
Verified Customer

This guitar is amazing for the pickups alone! Than get to the guitar itself and is almost flawless. I bought a blemished version and I don't even know why it was because I can't find any blemishes on it. This is far better than people think. They see the name and automatically assume it sucks or is a beginner not professional guitar. It totally is a professional and totally tourable guitar. Take the gloss off the back of the neck and this thing is my favorite guitar I own now.

"Great guitar though may need a little setup and finishing"
Verified Customer

Bought a blemished model and got an excellent deal on it. Got it and it looked beautiful not a blemish to be found, finish was excellent (paint/poly finish) plugged it in everything felt solid and it sounded heavy and great especially with some distortion. Problem is while playing noticed about half the frets were rough on the ends, the frets themselves are fine, just in need of some slight sanding or filing to smooth out the ends so you're not roughing up your hands when sliding on the neck. This is pretty common on guitars made outside of the states, and isn't a big deal to correct provided you're careful and have a jewelers file.

After Seeing This Guitar And Hearing It I Just Had To Get One For Myself. And I'm Glad I Did. Right Out Of The Box I Didn't Have To A Thing. It Plays And Sounds Great. And It Looks Awesome. It Is So Comfortable To My Body Thanks To The Strat Like Cut A Way. The Basswood Body Is Lightweight. I've Been Playing Fenders And Squiers For Years Now And This One Is A Keeper.!
