Could anybody tell me experience about Squire Telecaster??i cant afford to buy Fender's Tele, considering Squire's instead..
anything bad about this model??

suddenly i find myself attracted to teles now..
first it was lespauls..
then ESP forest..
then ESP reindeer
then tele.. =((((

own a fender tele, played the squire version(standard). truthfully, if you dont have a good amp system or something like that, its actually hard to differentiate the tones from the 2 guitars. but of course if youre good, u can actually hear the difference. play wise, it is still a Tele so the feel is about the same although i do say that the fender has a 'smoother' neck or someting. one thing though, if you have the money, try to get the standard version. affinitys are not really that good. and of course, having a fender makes you fell good!

Obviously, be warned that your single coils will constantly pick up that annoying hum.

Some say, if you want to get a squier, get one that is an original squier design.

Maybe you could try checking out the Squier 51 ?

the 51 is pretty good from what i've read
but i don't think it shares the tele twang iirc

I gotta say the '51 looks pretty darn cool. Especially this:

i like my squire tele .. the sounds, the twang are pretty similar to the fenders one... and just like snipe_ex said, avoid affinity series and MIC squires...

wth a squire '51 with zakk wylde stripes?

Clearly photoshoped image lah

Anyway the teles are the bomb. But you better save enough for a good ones cause the lower ends has the looks but not the sounds.

this is a tele


took a pic from a book i got, cant seem to find a actual full shot of it online anywhere yet.

Frank Zappa once told Steve Vai..


The tone is in your hands/fingers, not your gears.

^I heard this a lot lately, and it's getting really dull Well it's partly true but the thing is I don't think you'll ever get the tele twang playing a stock Squire Cali with a lame ass pvssy sounding amp. Unless you got some magical fingers.. lol

Actually the cliche is true. Throw Eric Johnson a pair of Squier and Marshall MG and I reckon he would still sound like Eric Johnson. But on the other hand, throw a newbie guitarist Eric Johnson's gear, he or she would still sound like a newbie. It makes sense.

Btw, I love the Squier '51, but that bullseye is a no-no.

if im not mistaken schecter has something like that too. Very cool.

the idea of buying a tele or at least a tele copy is for the vintage single coil sound...? Having the triple humbuckers on that ibanez copy kinda kills the whole concept doesnt it.

Not necessary I think.There're a lot of people favour the Telecaster Deluxe with dual humbuckers. They have a unique sound to it as well.

since u say that...then its obvious body shape doesnt matter on vintage single coil sound rite.

one day someone will put vintage single coils into a warlock

we'l see...vintage tone from a hardcore guitar!!!
feels abit weird haha

espesciali with at a party with uncles and aunties for old-skul songs
WARLOCK!!!! haha
