Squier Classic
Vibe Telecaster '50s
Electric Guitar in excellent condition with little to no playwear
just a small chip on the top edge by the strap pin. Cool Vintage Blonde finish with
a Black pickguard and chrome hardware. The guitar has a nice action and the
one-piece maple neck with a shallow "C" profile has a comfortable feel. The
medium jumbo frets are in excellent condition. The Custom Alnico 5 Telecaster
pickups have a great vintage tone with good output plus are humbucking when both
used. This guitar lives up to it's "Classic Vibe" name. From the select pine
body like on the early Esquires, the alnico pickups, vintage style tuners and
three brass barrel bridge, we're talking "vintage vibe". Once you play
it, you'll notice the mojo. This guitar is a lot of bang for the buck. It looks,
sounds, feels and play fantastic.
Includes a Fender Gig Bag..

OVERVIEW
Classic vibe with modern refinements.
The Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster
'50s is an electric guitar with a look to die for and plenty of '50s
'blackguard' Tele vibe. The Vintage Blonde or Butterscotch Blonde over pine body
totally resonates and you'll be hard-pressed to tell whether or not you are
holding a premium ash body guitar. Of course pine is not a foreign wood to
guitar making or to Fender history for that matter. Early single and dual pickup
Esquire guitars were made with pine bodies.
Featuring a 21-fret vintage
tint gloss maple neck with the modern playability of a 9-1/2" radius and medium
jumbo frets, and outfitted with a custom set of Alnico 5 single-coil pickups on
the Butterscotch Blonde model and Alnico III on the Vintage Blonde, this Squier
Tele has tone that can really hang with the big boys. You get clear note
separation even in distorted modes and dynamic response with a strong midrange
and high end bite for leads.
Classic Vibe
Back in
1982, the very first Squier by Fender guitars and basses came ringing out of
Asia. Known for their excellent vintage-quality look, feel, sound, and
construction, those early Squier instruments and their Fender-branded
counterparts are now highly sought-after collector's items revered by guitar
enthusiasts as models of "getting it right" while aiming at value-conscious
players. The Squier Classic Vibe Series reflects that simultaneous commitment to
excellence, value, and vibe. Mirroring classic Fender designs, the Classic Vibe
offering is not intended to be era or vintage correct-but rather imparting the
vibe of a classic Fender design. Each with distinctive feature set
combinations-all adding up to one classic-looking instrument.
