If you want a cool Tele , it makes sense to go straight to the original source . As luck would have it , Fender ’ s broad and impressive assemblage of Telecasters has something for everybody , and at every possible price point . The Squier line in particular is better than ever , and for an astonishingly small amount of money an exceptional guitar can be had . The Squier Classic Vibe ‘ 50s Tele is just such a guitar , exuding tons of vintage “ blackguard ” swagger and bite , with thoughtful modern appointments like a fast maple “ C ” neck and 9.5-inch radius maple fretboard . Its pine body hearkens back to
Leo Fender ’ s original prototype Tele , which was also made of pine , as well as the early pinebodied Esquires , making it historically relevant as well as great sounding , lightweight , and wicked
fun to play . The Classic Vibe ‘ 50s Tele comes in Butterscotch Blonde or Vintage Blonde and sells for around 400 bucks . Get one of each !
