Squier’s Value-packed Tele Deluxe

The Squier Classic Vibe ’70s Telecaster Deluxe will float your boat. This hot-rodded Tele sports a toneful poplar body and a fast maple neck. You get two Fender Designed Wide Range humbuckers that deliver truckloads of tone. Playability is top-flight, with a 9.5"-radius fingerboard and narrow tall frets for comfortable chording and fast leads. Grab Squier’s value-packed Classic Vibe ’70s Telecaster Deluxe and make some music history.

Classic styling for unmistakable feel

Not deviating too far from the mold, the Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster Deluxe is still a Tele at the core. The classic maple neck and fretboard give your notes presence and bite while still feeling comfortable and fast. Reliable vintage-style tuners keep your axe in tune bend after bend. And the traditional-shaped body is familiar and instantly recognizable. The Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster Deluxe is all Tele.

Rockin’ pickup duo packs plenty of punch

When Fender originally launched the Telecaster Deluxe model in 1972, they set out to create a rock guitar that would appeal to a new generation of more aggressive guitarists. That’s why they outfitted it with two hot humbuckers. To capture that same spirit, Squier equipped the Classic Vibe ’70s Telecaster Deluxe with a pair of rockin’ Fender Designed Wide Range humbuckers. The neck delivers warm jazz tones and beefy overdrive with serious impact, while the bridge pickup delivers the fat, snarling tone you need for searing leads. Top that off with a full set of volume and tone controls for each pickup, and the Squier Classic Vibe ’70s Telecaster Deluxe makes dialing in the perfect sound a piece of cake.

The magic of Squier’s Classic Vibe series

Since its introduction, Squier’s Classic Vibe series has been the go-to source for affordable takes on original-era Fender guitars. From the Fender-voiced pickups and reformulated vintage colors to the modern neck profiles, fingerboard radii, and narrow tall frets, Squier has gone back to the drawing board to bring you a vintage-inspired guitar with the smooth playability and tonal versatility today’s guitarists demand. Take it from Sweetwater: From its cool vintage visuals to its great tone and playing feel, there’s pure magic — and tremendous value — in the Squier Classic Vibe ’70s Telecaster Deluxe!

Much more than expected!

I have been looking for a Telecaster Deluxe for some time now. A while back I purchased a more expensive version which ended up with quite a number of issues and had to be sent back. Ordering this my expectations where not high. However upon arrival I was amazed at the quality, especially for the price.

The one I received is a stellar example of how a much more expensive guitar should be out of the box. It has a bone nut which is cut correctly and smooth. There were no high frets and all the frets were polished to very high degree. There is no fret sprout and the edges are rounded to the point I doubt it will ever happen. Finally the relief on the neck was correct as well.

I did lower the action on the guitar once I got it because it was high for my taste but that is just personal preference.

The pickups sound really good as well. The bridge is not as bright as a normal telecaster but there is no hum due to the wide range humbucker. While not actual CuNiFe wide range they sill sound very nice and will work well for classic rock, country or P&W. I found the neck pickup to be warm while still retaining some clarity as well.

Bridge is nice but could be better, for the price it's solid and works so no need to replace or upgrade at this time. The tuners, while not period correct, work great and that is what really matters.

Shout out to my Rep Jordan for getting it here quickly, I'm very happy with this purchase and couldn't have asked for more at the price... it's better than many guitars costing 4 times the price or more.

If you are looking for a Telecaster Deluxe, give this a try, you won't be disappointed!

Love it

What a fine piece of Art well Done Squier!
Thanks to Cory Medina for all his Help! I had Sweetwater install Ghs Boomer custom light strings 9-46 and do a set up(i recommend this) The intonation was Perfect! She Sings Like an Angel from Heaven the neck is comfortable no fret sprout and even being glossy it doesn't feel sticky.The switch and controls are Flawless the finish on guitar is perfect the humbuckers have alot of tonal capabilities that i am still exploring.
This is my first guitar purchase online and was a little worried but the Communication,The incredible Packing job,Overall service has made me a customer for the Long Haul!

Needed work but great budget guitar

Out of the box, this guitar had old strings and way too much relief in the neck. After tightening the truss rod, changing strings, and setting intonation, it is a total keeper and the low price certainly helps. The quality of fit and finish is pro. The pickups sound great and the electronics work well. They have a honking mid range focus. I wanted a Tele Deluxe bad and the Am Pro II was out of the budget at the moment so this guitar was a pleasant surprise. I am in no rush to do any mods or upgrades as it is completely usable as is. I knocked off one star due to the lack of proper me set up and old strings.

Classic Vibe Deluxe

There was a minor issue with the first telecaster deluxe I ordered. Thankfully, my sales rep Drew Foster got me over to the service department right away.

The service department was able to do a rush delivery at no cost to me which was a complete surprise to me so THANK YOU so much!

Then, the moment of truth. I opened my guitar and oooh is it beautiful. However, I was a bit disappointed in that there was no 55-point inspection card included (seriously). My 3 way switch was like about to fall out and while it came to me pretty well in tune, the strings look pretty bad as do the last few frets.

Overall, sound has much more texture to it than my Classic Vibe strat. I'll probably have to change the string tree and no doubt have it immediately restrung. I guess I just expected too much when I ordered this guitar (idk). It's a keeper though. And I can't thank my sales guy and Sweetwater enough for their patience. Their customer service is unparalleled by that other guitar place which is why I will continue to get my things from them.

As for you, if you're wanting one of these, I believe they are no doubt worth the money. I really like the neck. Feels a bit beefier to me than my strat necks. I love the gloss. Pickups sound amazing but be prepared to make some minor adjustments.

Excellent online guitar buying experience

Was nervous to buy a guitar online unseen and unplayed, but the guitar was set up nicely right out of the box. It arrived quickly and well-packaged. No regrets buying through Sweetwater.
