Squier Classic Vibe '50s Telecaster 2025 - Butterscotch Blonde

When I tested this guitar I found myself asking how did Squier make a guitar this good at this price point!  It sounds just like a Classic Telecaster should, and the neck is so easy to play your fingers go up and down the fretboard like they  are on butter.

About this guitar:
Weight: 8.2 pounds
Model Year: 2025
This guitar came directly from Squier to my supplier, it has never been sold retail, the protective cover is still on the pick guard and neck pickup.  It was tested by factory authorized technicians and no issues were found, all electronics work as designed, the neck is straight with no fret buzz.  When we polished the guitar we did not find any blemishes, dings or cracks, it is in like new condition.
Per agreement with Fender/Squier because this guitar was not distributed through the dealer network there is a tiny used stamp on the back of the headstock and the last two digits of the stamped serial number have been removed and a sticker with the serial number has been placed over the stamped number.

Here is what Squire says about the Classic Vibe Telecaster '50s:

A celebration of the birth of the Tele® in the early 1950s, the Classic Vibe '50s Telecaster creates incredible tone courtesy of the Fender-Designed alnico single-coil pickups. Player-friendly features include a slim, comfortable "C"-shaped neck profile with an easy-playing 9.5"-radius fingerboard and narrow-tall frets, as well as a vintage-style Telecaster bridge with barrel saddles and string-through-body design. This throwback Squier model also features 1950s-inspired headstock markings, rich-looking nickel-plated hardware and a slick vintage-tint gloss neck finish for an old-school vibe.

FAQ, frequently asked questions

Why are instruments sent to a refurbisher?  The instrument could be a discontinued model, have a finish imperfection, or need a minor repair.

Who refurbishes your instruments?  All of my instruments come from the largest and best refurbisher in the country, where any issue found is corrected by a factory trained and authorized luthier.

Does a refurbished instrument have the manufacturer warranty?  No, any instrument sent to a refurbisher, regardless of the reason it was sent there, no longer carries the manufacturer warranty. 

Will I need to set up my instrument when I receive it?  All of my instruments have been set-up before shipping, so most are ready to play out of the box.  However some instruments may need a minor adjustment after shipping due to changes in temperature, humidity, and  getting bumped around during shipping.  Also some players like to set up a new guitar to their own personal preferences.
