Vintage-inspired design
High-quality Squier Classic Vibe construction forms the core of this Telecaster’s tone. For the body, Squier chose nyatoh, a tonewood that’s prized for its mahogany-like tone. You can expect rich full-bodied notes and chords with exceptional sustain that complement this guitar’s lower range. Plus, the body also features double binding inspired by some of the popular vintage Teles. Rounding out the body is a sturdy maple neck with a vintage finish, an Indian Laurel fingerboard, and a comfortable "C" shape profile that ensures fretting is a breeze, even with the extended scale of a baritone neck.
Classic Telecaster tone
Two onboard alnico single-coil pickups designed by Fender ensure bold versatility with the same definition and clarity that’s made the Telecaster a tone anchor of so many different genres. Fender’s history with alnico pickups dates all the way back to the 1940s, so you can trust you’re getting reliable electronics that have stood the test of time. Alnico’s combination of aluminum, nickel, and rare cobalt is prized for its warmth and smoothness of response no matter the playing style. Time proves again and again that Telecaster pickups can not only handle roaring hot amps with tons of gain, but also maintain a distinct clean tone personality that you won’t find on any other guitar.
