Squier by Fender Classic Vibe '50s Telecaster, Butterscotch Blonde

A great sounding Tele fore those that don't want at to pay for the Fender. Bouil and sound is good. No complaints everything works perfectly and plays well

An excellent-sounding Telecaster, with a lovely neck.

needed a bit of a basic set up.but is a wonderful bit of kit for the price,every bit as good as the mexican strat/teles i have!!

My custom vibe 50 butterscotch telecaster is awesome! Just needed tuning. Sounds great unplugged and when I plugged it to a spark mini it was a joy to play. Feels great, looks great, plays great.

This guitar was so cheap on Amazon that I couldn't stop myself buying it and I don't regret it at all. I do already have a Squier CV 50's Telecaster. This one feels and sounds similar but not the same. This guitar looks fantastic, with nice grain and nice finish. The frets were perfect, both in height and length, so no sprouts and no high points. The tuning machines are really good. The F hole edges were a bit rough with excess lacquer which I quickly smoothed out with an emery nail file. The electronics seem fine with precise control and no crackling. The sound is a bit darker than my single coil Telecaster as I expected and it distorts more easily with the humbuckers. All good! The guitar was set up pretty well but the nut was suspect as I was getting a sitar sound on the B string and the strings were sitting in very deep grooves. The guitar needed a twist of the truss rod and when I changed the strings to 10s I decided the not slots weren't right so I replaced the nut with a Tusq one which made it all good. The only thing I might consider changing in the future (see how it goes for now) is the bridge which is probably fine but could be a bit more robust.Overall it's an amazing buy and better in every way as compared to some cheaper Fenders I've seen.

Guitar arrived as expected and I can’t fault Amazon for their customer careThe instrument was awful. The top bit was wrongly cut making the guitar impossible to play. How the heck can fender allow this instrument to be dispatched without any quality check?But of course as it’s Amazon returns are a breeze

After a few days of research for which Tele or Tele-type guitar to buy I chose this classic vibe 60's thinline at £286.My final choices had included a Vintage and a lower tiered Squier to modify to my own spec.After unboxing I gave it a provisional set up (the frets did not require any attention beyond a quick wipe to get the claggy stuff off and no truss rod adjustment was required either).The pickups are nicely expressive on both clean and overdrive settings. I haven't tried it on a full distortion or heavy fuzz as I don't intend to play those styles on it.The neck is beautiful albeit a touch thicker than I was expecting but felt familiar and Fendery in the hand.Quality wise the only comment to make would be on the inside of the F hole where the spray job hadn't quite got the inside profile of the cap.There's a touch of neck dive too but that'll be sorted with a grippier strap.Otherwise, in a blindfold test I think you'd be hard pushed to distinguish this from a Mexican Telecaster.As with any guitar, this guitar is suitable for all levels once it's been set up to the player's preferred specs.

For the price point, this is a lovely guitar. The one I got was well setup out of the box and just needed tuning. I know some people like to replace the pickups, change the strings and fiddle around with the action etc, but for me this was just right. It sounds great, plays well and apart from the Squier logo, looks just like a Telecaster. Very happy with it.
