Fender Squier® Classic Vibe '50's Telecaster® - Left Handed Electric Guitar, Butterscotch Blonde

Product Description

In the early years of Fender, the Telecaster quickly became an everyman’s guitar because of its versatile sound, ease of playing and reasonable cost. The new Classic Vibe Telecaster ’50s in Butterscotch Blonde delivers on that original promise. Features include a gorgeous new Butterscotch Blonde finish on a pine body, and a vintage-tint gloss fast-action maple neck with 21 medium-jumbo frets and modern 9.5” fretboard radius. Setting this guitar apart from its Classic Vibe Telecaster ’50s Vintage Blonde brother is a custom set of AlNiCo 5 single-coil pickups that provide warmth and clarity and enough punch for country, blues, rock and jazz. This versatile guitar is now available in a left-handed model.


  • A custom set of alnico V single-coil pickups provides warmth and clarity fitting for all styles of music.
  • Vintage looks meet modern playability by way of an easy playing 9.5" fretboard radius and medium jumbo frets.
  • The tinted neck gives this model and upscale appearance beyond what you'd expect for the price.

This review is from: Fender Squier� Classic Vibe '50's Telecaster� - Left Handed Electric Guitar, Butterscotch Blonde (Electronics)
This is nicer than a Standard Tele (MIM) for less money.

Overall first impression - it's nice!

Body looks to be 4 piece. I have to look hard for the seams. More-so I can tell by the interruption in the grain pattern. Weight is about average. Maybe on the heavy side. It's not a light one. Color is nice and the grain shows through just right.

Neck is a modern C like most-all imports. Vintage style split post tuners look great and work well. The fret work is excellent! Frets ends have been finished. Not like a lot of imports.

Setup needs a tweak or 2. But its playable out of the box. Nut is cut correctly so I won't have to work that. Pots are righty wired lefty. The volume pot works like that but the tone pot does not. If manufacturers are going to wire lefty guitars lefty they need to use reverse-taper pots. I will flip the control plate and rewire those righty.

Pickups sound excellent. Bridge pickup ohms out at 5.83k and the neck... Read more

I started playing about 8 months ago with a starter pack that costs about $120. After learning a few things, I wanted to take the next step to buy a real guitar with finished frets that don't buzz and stays in tune. I became a fan of the Tele style after realizing that it is a true guitar player's guitar. It is versitile and simple in design.
I just got my new Squier Tele today and I couldn't be happier. I was recommended this guitar by my teacher who also owns one that he carts around for teaching lessons. He said that they are a great find because it's about the best "cheap" guitar you can buy. It has all of the craftsmanship of the Standard (MIM) Teles for about $150 less. This is not in the same class as other Squier lines like the Affinity (which is about $170-$190). This is a real instrument that can match up with much more expensive Fender versions. Being a lefty, it's hard to find a wide selection of instruments let alone a selection of quality guitars that are... Read more
