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

I was actually thinking of buying another warlock just to do that.
But ran outta cash

old topic back up!

anybody saw tele deluxe selling here in malaysia?

ya'know...the one with the strat headstock

How about those vintage series squier? Are they worth getting?

-FaR

i heard that recently they will stop producing the squire tele california series that is cheaper previously about rm4xx instead they will only sell squire tele that will cost around rm7xx-rm1+++...try survey at any local music stores nowadays and it's quite hardly to find the cheap california series..

I saw a 2nd hand Mexican one - quite good condition for RM1500 or so. I think a mexican one is way better in terms of build, electronics, etc compared to the Squire. You'll appreciate the difference, espcially if you are an intermediate player...

i agree with bman..
