Excellent condition featuring figured pine body with gloss polyurethane Butterscotch Blonde finish, two Fender designed Alnico single coil pickups, one volume control and one tone control with steel knurled flat top barrel knobs and three way toggle switch mounted to elongated metal electronic control plate, single ply black pickguard, Fender style ashtray Telecaster bridge with three barrel saddles, maple C shape neck with walnut backstripe and tinted gloss finish, maple fingerboard with narrow jumbo frets and black dot inlays starting at the third fret, maple peghead with vintage gold and black Squier and Telecaster logos, single round 50s style string tree, six in a line vintage Kluson style tuning machines, four bolt neck fastening plate with Squier engraving, string through body construction with six metal string ferrules, two metal strap buttons, and nickel plated metal hardware. The serial number of this guitar has been stickered over and there is a faint USED stamp on the back of the headstock, but this guitar shows no signs of play wear and still has the plastic film on the pickguard and neck pickup.
This Classic Vibe 50s Tele is in excellent cosmetic condition and is set up in very good playing order and the nut is nicely cut. The C shaped neck profile feels very comfortable in hand and the lacquered fingerboard makes this guitar fun and snappy to play. The pickups sound good plugged in and the guitar is pretty resonant unplugged. All in all, I really dig this guitar and think the Butterscotch Blonde finish is super cool and attractive. If you're looking for an inexpensive Telecaster to pick at gigs or an instrument to customize with your own pickups, tuners, etc, I highly recommend this Tele.
