Description

The Squier Classic Vibe '70s Telecaster Thinline electric guitar is a tribute to the iconic semi-hollowbody design of the 1970s Telecaster Thinline. This limited-edition guitar combines the unmistakable look and sound of the original with modern enhancements, making it perfect for players who want vintage vibes with updated playability. Featuring Fender-designed Wide Range humbuckers, a lightweight semi-hollow body and a sleek slim C-shaped neck, the Squier Thinline Telecaster offers a versatile tone and comfortable playing experience for guitarists of all levels.

Classic Tone With Fender-Designed Wide Range Humbuckers

The Classic Vibe '70s Telecaster Thinline is equipped with two Fender-designed Wide Range humbucking pickups, delivering the warm, full-bodied tone that defined the '70s Telecaster. These pickups provide plenty of output for rock, blues and funk, while retaining the clarity and brightness Fender is known for. The 3-way pickup switch allows you to select the neck pickup, bridge pickup or both, offering a range of tonal options for any style of music.

Built for Comfort and Playability

Designed with players in mind, the Squier Thinline Telecaster features a slim C-shaped neck profile that feels comfortable in your hands, making long playing sessions easier. The semi-hollowbody design not only reduces weight but also enhances resonance, giving the guitar a lively and open sound. The vintage-style bridge with barrel saddles and string-through-body construction provides solid tuning stability and precise intonation, making this Thinline Tele a joy to play.

Vintage-Inspired Details

The Squier Classic Vibe '70s Telecaster Thinline stays true to its roots with retro-inspired appointments. The vintage-tint gloss finish on the neck gives it a slick, aged appearance, while the nickel-plated hardware adds a touch of authenticity. The 1970s-style headstock markings and vintage-style tuning machines complete the look, ensuring this guitar captures the essence of the original '70s Telecaster while maintaining rock-solid performance.

Excellent guitar at most price points

I saw this guitar at the local GC and loved it immediately. I love black on maple fretboards and white with black guards. The only thing that could makes this guitar look better, IMO, is if it were a trans finish like a 50s CV. The bigger headstock would have been cool, as well. I do love the vintage style tuning machines though. The guitar I purchased is incredibly harmonic both plugged in and unplugged. Snappy and smooth. The pickups have girth but remain articulate. Very versatile. Plays nicely with overdrive as well. The neck and frets feel great. Very nicely set up. I'm not sure what this "milk white" color other reviewers are referring to is, but it looks Olympic white to me. Of course, original Olympic white was barely off white. People seem to think it was creamy. It wasn't. The clear coats discolor with age giving the finished a yellowed patina. I have a few "white" telecasters. This one may be the whitest of them, but it is definitely not stark white like Arctic White. I love mine and it makes a nice addition to my small Tele collection.

I love this guitar. The tone is fantastic, neck feels smooth. Wiring isn't bad, doesn't need upgraded unless you really want to. The one I purchased does have a ton of uneven frets. Because of this i do have my action much higher than I'd like and not all of the buzz is out on the higher frets yet. If you're planning on just strumming and having fun. No worries with this guitar. If you're a little more serious, even as a hobbie. Plan on doing some fret work or finding a good luthier. If it weren't for the frets needing worked on this would be a 5/5.

  • Hits WAY Above Its Weight Class

    I went in to GC to play on a few instruments. I tried some Fenders, a couple PRS SE models, and some other Epiphones and Squiers, but found myself coming back to this over and over again. I got the Black model and the neck, intonation, everything was perfectly setup. The pickups are a bit lower in output than desired, but I play through an HX Stomp XL so I put a compressor in my effect chain and that made all the difference. I may eventually upgrade to a solderless EMG passive system or just upgrade to the Fender pickups, but so far I've played it live now a few times and it's having no trouble cutting through the mix. Considering setting it up for 10ga strings, but overall for the money, and I got mine on sale for 100$ off, it's absolutely fantastic. Way lighter than other Telecasters, and the sound is exactly what I'm looking for.

    Played it and loves it. I did do a 10 to 42 set up as well some minor fret work especially between freta 8 thru 12. Also antonated as well chanhed the pick ups which I do recommend. I installed some pearly gates from Slash 2.0, also addrd flat chrome adapters for the pickups to fit and what a difference

    The only issue I had was that it needed to be setup right away. It played bad at first when I took it out of the box. BUT it felt nice. About the same as the fender. Just sounded rough. Once I had it setup and all dialed in it was amazing. Love it! Can't stop playing it.

    I love the inlays and the smooth neck, love the pick ups, put in tome 500k pots and a push pull coil tap and not have a tone of tonal options, This is the guitar I pick up the most. Looks great, plays smooth.

    I bought this on sale at a price I couldn't refuse. This guitar is a treat. Looks like a Fender. Plays like a Fender. Sounds like a Fender. And it is made by Fender's subsidiary, Squire. I am very happy with my purchase.
