Classic Tele style. Clear single-coil tone. Let’s play.

The Squier Sonic Telecaster in California Blue brings an iconic guitar design into an approachable, comfortable instrument that’s ready for your next musical adventure. A thin, lightweight poplar body and slim “C”-shaped neck make it easy to settle in, while two ceramic single-coil pickups deliver clear, chiming tones for chords, melodies, and punchy rhythm work.

With its bright California Blue finish, white pickguard, and chrome hardware, this Tele has plenty of personality before you play the first note.

Find Your Sound

A pair of ceramic single-coil pickups gives the Sonic Telecaster a versatile voice. Select the bridge pickup for bright bite, the neck pickup for a rounder sound, or combine both for another tonal option.

The three-way blade switch and master volume and tone controls keep everything straightforward, so you can spend more time playing and exploring.

Comfortable from the First Chord

The maple neck features a slim “C” profile and smooth satin urethane finish. An Indian laurel fingerboard with a 9.5" radius and 21 narrow-tall frets provides a comfortable surface for learning chords, developing your technique, and finding your way into lead playing.

The thin, lightweight body adds to that inviting feel, whether you’re practicing at home or standing through a rehearsal.

Simple, Practical Hardware

A six-saddle top-load Tele bridge with block saddles allows individual string-height and intonation adjustment. Die-cast sealed tuners provide smooth tuning, while chrome hardware completes the classic look.

Whether it’s your first electric guitar or a fresh addition to your collection, the Squier Sonic Telecaster offers familiar style, accessible controls, and plenty of room to grow.
