    The link hits another instrument now.

    Although that DuoSonic looks pretty darn tasty, too.

    Oh wow...that Tele is the bomb!

    Squier Teles have always felt good when I picked them up.

    Sam Ash must do something really weird with their URLs, because now the link Neo posted points to a Strat.

    Since that Classic Vibe pine Tele is on Squier's site, can we assume it's not a Sam Ash exclusive? I really hate how Sam Ash will claim something's in stock on their web site, take your order, charge your credit card, THEN tell you "it's not in stock right now, but we'll have more in two weeks...maybe."

    Good deal. Thanks for the info.

    This is a Tele I could see myself buying. I've got a late-model Squier Strat, so I know they're decent guitars. And that one's got a finish I really like, and a black pickguard, and a "real" Tele box bridge with three brass saddles.

    All good stuff. Plus, I'm intrigued by the pine body. And the price would mean I could have a Tele a lot sooner than if I waited until I could buy a Fender...especially one with that type of bridge.

    Please post a review when you get yours! And clips.

    Re: THis could be the coolest new Tele ever 50's Classic Pine Body Squier

    I've been following this guitar a lot lately, and came across a non-stock photo of one:



    Folks are sayin' that this is even better looking in person. And it feels great. Electronics are slightly under par, but it's a $300 Squier, after all. I also read it's a not-too-fat C neck.

    I think this is the first Tele for me...gotta wait for lots of them to get in stock though...oh yeah, and raise the dough.

    Might be my first Tele, too, TJ! But I predict these guitars are going to be hard to get for a while.

    This was way way better than I thought it was gonna be.

    The electronics are dead silent zero 60 cycle hum.

    The frets are like Gibsons lower than the 6105's they are reaally finished nicely. Air tight neck pocket and this thing plays so easy its unreal.

    best $300 I ever spent in my life.

    Wow!

    All this excitement over a $300 Squier!

    You'd never see this much action if you posted pics of an Epi Les Paul over on the LPF! That's what I love about this place...you all seem to know that a good guitar's a good guitar no matter what the name on the headstock...

    It looks awesome. Great phtots.
    Cripes!



    How does the neck feel?
    Does it have a chunkiness that gives it a "Classic Vibe," or is that attained more by the nice amber tint and spaghetti logo?

    Great looking guitar!

    I notice the end of the bridge pup route is just barely visible at the edge of the bridge. Is that fairly common with Telecasters?

    Thanks. I thought I'd seen that "feature" on Teles before, but I wasn't sure.

    Id say the neck is a standard size about the same as an American Standard not thick or thin. It plays really smooth.

    Do they come with the shielding paint on them, or was this done by your friend?

    I'm long past sold...gonna finish up the few projects I'm involved with and get one. Whom did you order through, Marcondo?

    I wouldn't be surprised if it came with the shielding paint. The Indonesian Squier Strat I bought a couple of years ago has the shielding paint inside. That Tele's route is a lot cleaner than my Strat's was, though.

    I thought my next guitar would be some kind of dual-humbucker, LP-type...but geez...I've been wanting a Tele, too, and and this one's going for $300 everywhere. Very tempting....

    Cool score! I bet it sounds reeeeeally good with those Alnico II PUs. I bought my drummer a used classic 50s ash Tele, put a blackguard on it and swapped out the tinny sounding alnico V PUs for a pair of overwound Alnico IIIs (Tonerider Hot Classics - $45 for a set!) and it went from ho-hum to WOW. I been dying to try some alnico II or III in my #1, but I'm afraid to change anything... :-)
