The Squier Classic Vibe '50s Telecaster captures the timeless look and feel of the original "blackguard" Telecasters while adding a unique tonal twist thanks to a pair of premium aftermarket pickups. This pre-owned example combines vintage-inspired styling with upgraded electronics, making it an outstanding choice for players looking for something beyond a traditional Telecaster.

Finished in the iconic Butterscotch Blonde with a 1-ply black pickguard, it delivers classic Tele aesthetics while offering a much broader tonal palette than the stock model.

Premium Pickup Upgrades

This guitar has been professionally upgraded with two highly respected pickups that give it a distinctive voice.

The neck position features a Gretsch-style pickup, producing warm, open cleans with exceptional clarity, chime, and vintage character. It's perfect for jazz, blues, indie, country, and articulate rhythm work.

The bridge position has been upgraded to a Seymour Duncan Mini Humbucker, adding punch, sustain, and thicker mids while retaining excellent note definition. Compared to a traditional Tele bridge pickup, it delivers a fuller, more powerful sound that's equally comfortable handling classic rock, blues, and higher-gain applications.

Together, these pickups create a remarkably versatile instrument that blends Telecaster snap with Gretsch-inspired sparkle and humbucker warmth.

Comfortable Vintage-Inspired Playability

Built with a resonant pine body, the Classic Vibe offers excellent sustain and lively response. The comfortable Modern "C" maple neck, 9.5" fingerboard radius, and 21 medium jumbo frets make it easy to play whether you're performing on stage or practicing at home.

The traditional 25.5" scale length provides the familiar Fender feel, while the synthetic bone nut helps ensure excellent tuning stability.

Classic Tele Hardware

A 3-saddle vintage-style string-through-body Telecaster bridge with brass barrel saddles delivers the attack, resonance, and sustain that have made the Telecaster a legend for over 70 years. Vintage-style tuners complete the classic look and provide dependable tuning stability.
