Our Take:
Channeling the look and feel of the Blackguard Tele, this Left-Handed Classic Vibe ’50s Telecaster in Butterscotch Blonde features a lightweight, resonant pine body with two Custom Telecaster Alnico 5 pickups in order to produce tones reminiscent of the early Esquires, which predated the Telecaster. This guitar is a bang-for-your-buck instrument that looks and sounds fantastic.
Squier’s Take:
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.
