3 of 3 people found the following review helpful Main guitar feel for backup price!, By duojet (Decatur GA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Squier by Fender Vintage Modified Tele Custom II, Black (Electronics) This guitar has an amazing sound and great features, regardless of its price! I would give it five stars, but the neck when I got it had horrible fretwork.The ends were rounded nicely, but the tops were not level, and I had to take it to a luthier to get it up to speed. Having said that, after $80 worth of work, it feels and sounds as good as any $600 - $700 guitar! Usually when I buy a guitar in this price range, the first thing I do is to ditch the stock pickups and tuners, and here I was pleasantly surprised.The Pickups are, in a word, amazing. Buttery, rich and punchy with just the right hint of chime. I've previously owned a Gibson reissue Melody Maker with the stock dogear p-90. That was brighter and a bit harsher. A little more punk rock, if you will. This guitar is a more versatile animal, and almost certainly more of a crowd pleaser. They're wound a bit on the hot side, I'd guess the bridge is somewhere close to 11k, but with more complexity than some of the crazy...

I've owned one for about a year and have used it for doing home recordings and the guitar never fails to surprise me with the quality of tones I get out of it. Don't expect this to give you the classic twangy Tele sound as it has Duncan-designed P-90 humbucker pickups so it's more suited for rock than the standard Tele country-style sound, although it could be used for that as well. If you can't decide which Squier Tele to choose, go with this one...I don't think you'll be disappointed. For the money, you really can't go wrong because you can get tones out of this guitar rivaling instruments costing 4 times the price. Can't believe no one's reviewed it here before now! |
