Squier Standard Telecaster Electric Guitar 

Comments about Squier Standard Telecaster Electric Guitar:

I am a professional drummer/singer and started playing guitar about a year ago. I started on a Squier Strat and got frustrated because of the location of the volume knob. I kept hitting it and consequently, I didn't enjoy playing, which slowed my progress down. I thought that a Telecaster might be a better way to go.

With a particular budget in mind, I spent hours researching and comparing new and used Fender, Mexican Fender, Squier Classic Vibe and off brand teles and I kept coming back to the outstanding reviews of the Squier Standard Telecaster.

I decided to go ahead a buy the Squier Standard and I couln't be more pleased with my purchase. The guitar's finish and neck are flawless. The action and intonation seemed great out of the box. I was correct to go with the Tele over the Strat and I love playing and practicing now. It made a huge difference in my enjoyment of learning the guitar.

I am always pleased with my purchases at Musician's Friend and the customer servivce is outstanding.

When I unwrapped this thing and held it, it reminded me of many real, old, very expensive tele's I've played over the years. It's very light and very comfortable, just like the old ones. It has 42mm width at neck, just like the old ones. It has vintage frets and a 150mph neck, just like the old ones. Alnico pickups, just like the old ones. It's fine dimensions and weight makes the competition feel like bowling balls with strings on them. Though you may have to replace a cheap jack or pot over time, this is a great instrument. These [*]are getting GOOD. You won't be disappointed.

Providing that the quality control is on the ball, this is not a guitar to shy away from. Musicians Friend has wonderful customer service and stands behind their products 100%. Even used guitars have a good return policy accept level 4 wich is as is needs work. Even then, you get them so cheap that you can afford to fix them if you have the know how. Keep in mind that every guitar has it's own personality and voice. This can be adjusted to your taste to some degree. I own 4 Tele's and each one is distinctive in sound. All are unmistakably Fender Tele with a personal twist. If you have $6000.00 for a vintage guitar, play it beside this one and be amased. I'm keeping this one.
Every thing a Tele should be. Straight grain wood. Tele sound unmistakable.
Good quality. Finish is even and high gloss. Neck is smooth and satin finish. Plastic cover still on pick guard. Strings are fender, but poor quality. I changed them to .009 and adjusted truss rod and pup hight. Now I would put this guitar up against any Tele out there. The switch and pots are smoothe. The fret ends are a little rough but will break in with use. There was 1 stripped screw in the bridge plate wich is easy to fix with a tooth pick and Elmers woood glue. The tuners hold much better after I re-strung them properly by pulling the string tail up and winding over it. This way , the tighter the string gets, the harder it bites on itself against the peg. It just can't slip, period. The tuners themselves feel smoothe and positive. I get true Fender Tele sound in all positions from neck to bridge once I figured out the cant angle for each pup. This is a matter of playing style and taste. this model Tele has the adjustable neck pup without removing the pick guard.
I got this from the good people at Musicians Friend on a smokin' deal. It was used in mint condition level 1. It was half the price of a players edition , or a MiM. Tele. I would play this guitar against any USA Tele. I prefer the old school 3 saddle bridge and maple fret board for my twang, but this 6 saddle bridge with rosewood fret board really gets it. I just had to junk the strings and do a set up to get the fret buzz out. I suspect that it was returned to M.F. for that minor reason. That was a perfect oportunity for me to pick up a great guitar at a great price.

I Posted a review on this guitar a little bit back ( I am the BASS PLAYER Who needed a Guitar for Recording ) Just wanted to post a little up date, I Recently had a Very good friend of mine ( And a GREAT Guitar builder Kip @ STARR GUITARS ) Install a SD LIL 59 For Tele and a push pull ( on the Tone pot ) and all I can say is WOW!!!, I could care less about the name on the head stock, This is a GREAT GUITAR, A friend of mine ( who is a die hard LP PLayer ) LOVES my Tele . Pick one up and drop what ever p/u you want in the bridge and you will have a guitar you will LOVE for a VERY Long time, Mine will be with me for ever. . .

These higher priced Squiers are ( Standards etc.) are of far better quality.
I have owned my Squier Tele and also a Strat for 2 & 3 years respectively and quite honestly I wouldn't trade them for anything. I own a music store and I am a guitar tech also. The problem with Squiers is in the pickups. You might get one with great pickups but the next will be thin or muddy. I put decent pickups on both of mine and if you can't see the headstock you couldn't tell the difference between them and a Fender. I have to say that the Asian factories are getting better at winding the pickups the last couple of years. The newer ones are very close. The QC guys at Fender are doing their job better when they come into the US. The Indochinese are are very good craftsman, I hate to say, but that is the way of the guitar world right now. Unless you have the big bucks you can't by American....

I love it
Sounds and plays great for me. I have a few other more expensive guitars and usually pick this one up first
Great finish and shine. Smooth neck and comes with very good strings
Looks and sounds as good as the Tele that's costs six times as much

Overall very pleased. Best place to do business with and delivery a great product at a unbelievable value.
I ordered from Musician's Friend on a Monday and recieved it on the following Thursday. Thank you for the great service. I was scared at first because apparently during the shipping process the end of the box had came open. I picked up the box and the guitar slid out of the bottom end. The box had a few dings in it, but luckily the guitar came out without a scratch. The set-up was very good. All it needed was to be tuned. I got the vintage blonde and it is awesome. I have a Les Paul and a Fender acoustic electric, and a Yamaha acoustic. I love my LP and was wanting a good beater. I know after only 3 days I made the right choice. If you are looking for a keeper without spendiing a lot of money, buy it. You won't regret it.
This seems to be a very well made guitar, Great finish, The chrome seems of very good quality, as well as the tuners. Sounds as good as any high dollar Tele ! The strings seem be have a slight bit of a larger gap between them. I like this for my fat fingers. Easier for me to play. Very fast neck after a good coat of wax.
Was already a great deal at regular price. Thanks to MF specials you can get a fantastic deal.

First off let me say that I am A Bass Player, I recently started doing some Home recording and I needed a Decent guitar to track with, I have always wanted a Tele but like many I couldnt afford a USA Made, I Thought this would be an ok Guitar to use for now. . .Man was I WRONG! ! ! This is a GREAT Guitar, Has the classic Tele sound, Nice bright crunch, The neck is dead str8 , Frets are nice, P-ups are better than expected, Body/neck is weighted great. I Picked up the Metalic Black and like the others the picture does NOT do it justice,
Great craftmans ship all the way around
If you are looking for a backup or that great Tele sound and cant afford the USA Model DO NOT BE AFRAID of the name, If you were to take the logo off and show it off Not many would be able to tell, Great quality , Low cost , what more do you need to know . BUY THIS GUITAR
