Squier by Fender Sonic Telecaster Electric Guitar, Maple Fingerboard, Black Pickguard, Butterscotch Blonde, Comes with Free Virtual Lessons

Straight out of the box, no damage, just needed a tune up, no fret-buzz and it feels just like my high end guitars Squier has a great budget guitar making team I don't know how they do it? I did buy the debut version but sent it back because it had fret-buzz... and I think for the extra £15 this is as good feels like my Squier Contemporary telecaster and not much difference in weight but I have humbuckers on my Contemporary tele... but I own a high end Stratocaster and this Sonic tele fits right in intonation is great and the only difference is that it has one fret less though not an issue for £149 I have bought new bridge saddles (copper) and will be getting some nice Fender or Danny Gatton style pickups (in time) first I'm sure going to enjoy this one how Squier do such good work for this price? Wow frets are smooth, I think they saved a bit on the body as it is a few mm (5-7mm) thinner than my Contemporary tele. But it's definitely a bargain!!!

I bought this guitar after about 20 years of regret from selling a Squier Silver Series Strat Japanese build! The guitar is really well made and sounds very nice. All the switches and knobs move nice and smooth and feel solid. Some people have reported blemishes and marks on the guitars they have had but mine was flawless. At first I thought there were marks on the pick guard but then realised there's there were two layers of protective film covering it. One thing I would point out is that my neck doesn't have the skunk stripe that is shown in the images of the guitar. After reading up there's divided opinion. Some people think a guitar with a skunk stripe is a sign of better build quality but others say that if there's a solid maple neck and fingerboard then a skunk stripe isn't needed (apparently it's just there to cover up where a router has taken out a strip of the neck to attach a fixing bolt). Just something to be aware of if you have a strong opinion on this as I've heard some people when looking at a guitar will turn it round, see there's no skunk stripe and immediately discount it

It came in good order and well packaged but the set up was not good. It’s playable. Great for a starter guitatv

I have been playing 43 years. I own cheap electric guitars and expensive ones. Never owned a Telecaster in all that time so I thought for £145, what is there to lose? Don't get me wrong, when I was young £50 was a lot of money! So negatives first; no gig bag or case. Not a problem for me but you must factor that in if you are a young player/beginner. You have to transport it somehow! Action was a little on the high side so go online and check out how to set things up or take it to someone to set it up if you are unsure. However, it was playable and the intonation was spot on! So the positives: Everything! I was quite stunned at the quality of finish. Not a blemish on the paintwork. The neck is perfect with a standard 9.5 inch radius just like my USA Strat! The frets are well dressed. After a few minor tweaks, it plays as well as any guitar I own. The pickups give a full tone, just like a Telecaster should have and the neck pickup is sublime! I have just removed a second layer of pickguard protection and to be honest I simply do not know how they do it for this price! I would happily pay another £100 for this guitar. Leo Fender would be so proud! Yes, the Chinese have arrived! Just like the Japanese did in the 70's! Now I wonder what their Stratocasters are like?

Lovely Squire telecaster, great sound from it good action, the colour is beautiful, arrived on time, I'm well pleased with it.

Exceptional guitar regardless of cost. Set up and intonation is superb straight out of the box. Sounds and plays as hoped for - it's a proper Telecaster, no excuses required. Absolutely recommended. This 67 year old guitar nerd is chuffed.

I bought it for my husband's birthday present. He loves it. It's everything he wanted. It feels good to hold and it sounds amazing. Very good buy for the price 👍🏿

Always wanted a tele but for some reason I never bought one. Straight out of the well packed box it plays really well. I only tuned it and plugged it in. The neck is comfortable which you expect from fender and there are no sharp frets. I didn’t set it up yet but it sounds and plays great. I’ve always used Squier guitars at home because they come setup and ready to play. I love the way you can see the wood sections through the paint but this might not be for everybody. Can’t wait to set it up properly and get my strings on it if I works this well from go.

OK. Bei Amazon eine Gitarre kaufen macht man nicht weil es genug Online Musikhäuser gibt die davon leben. Aber ich habe es nun einmal getan weil diese Tele in meinem Musikhaus nicht verfügbar war und Amazon schnell liefert und falls es zu eine Retoure kommt es kaum Probleme gibt. Ich wollte schon immer eine Telecaster haben und nachdem ich vor über einem Jahr einen Affinity Jazz Bass von Squier gekauft hatte und völlig geflasht von der Qualität und dem Sound war, suchte ich nach der billigsten Telecaster von Fender. Wollte wissen wo das die Qualitätsunterschide sind. Gut sie entspricht nicht genau den Bildern. Der Halsstab von der Fräsung hinten fehlt. Der Hals sieht eher auch wie der einer 54 Telecaster, was aber egal ist da andere Hersteller einfach einen schwarzen Strich auf die Rückseite malen. Was m.E total affig ist. Die Hardware ist OK auch wenn die Saiten nicht durch den Korpus gezogen werden wie bei jeder anderen Tele. Die Bridge ist dafür für jede einzelne Saite einstellbar. Bei der Classic sind immer 2 Saiten zusammen einstellbar. (Leo Fender war ja bekanntlich ein Sparfuchs) We eine Classic Tele sucht sollte von dieser die Finger lassen. Sie ist aus 70 Jahren telecaster-Erfahrungen zusammengebaut und kann keinem Modell so richtig zugeordnet werden. ABER! Ja Es ist ein super gutes Instrument was nicht nur für Anfänger gut ist sondern auch genau so gut mit einer deutlich teureren Fender Telecaster von der Spielbarkeit und dem Sound mithalten kann. Die Saitenlage ist ab Werk erstaunlich gut eingestellt. Für mich etwas dünne Saiten aber das ist ja leicht zu ändern. Sie spielt sich wie jede andere Tele und klingt Tele mäßig gut. Standard Pickups sind verbaut was aber dem Sound nichts nimmt. Wer sich an der verbauten Toploaderbridge stört sollte ein anderes Modell nehmen oder das Gerät entsprechend umbauen. Denke das dann die Gitarre noch etwas spitzer klingt. Der Hals ist unbehandelt und der Body soll aus Pappel sein was bei der Lackierung sehr gut aussieht. Vom Gewicht ist sie wie eine normale telecaster. Fazit: Wer eine günstige Gitarre sucht, sollte zuschlagen. Die, die ich bekommen habe ist absolut gut und kann durchaus mit den teuren Fender mithalten. Der Rest ist Image :-)

I’m honestly loving my Squier Sonic Telecaster in Butterscotch. It looks classic, feels super comfortable, and the tone has that perfect Tele twang I always wanted. For the price, it plays way better than expected. Simple, lightweight, and just fun to pick up every day. Totally worth it. 🎸

El sonido y la facilidad para tocar esta guitarra me ha sorprendido mucho. Estoy muy satisfecho, es mi guitarra favorita. La única modificación que le hice fue cambiarle las cuerdas, pues traía unas muy delgadas para mi gusto, pero fuera de eso, todo perfecto.

Item is good, Only issue is not yet set up from the shop.. better to make a basic set up before sending it. action is little high that it needs to be set up first.
