Trusted musician and artist reviews for Squier Telecaster
Based on 13 Reviews
Don't know the exact specs of mine, but I got it from ebay. It's black-on-black, and Korean from the mid-80s to early 90s as far as I know. Pretty solid guitar that actually plays and sounds better than most new 'proper' Fender Teles I've encountered.

its early to mid 90s if its Korean... I'm pretty sure all or most squiers were Japanese in the 80s, the changeover came when I was learning guitar, I remember I started on a used MIJ squire strat and some of my friends got new ones around '94ish? they were Korean and felt and sounded totally different than mine causing much consternation to kids who based their Christmas requests on my guitar
Great guitar for not a lot of money
nice and playable. constructed pretty well. decent paint job. pickups and electrics are ok but could do with replacing for better parts.
Solid guitar!
It works well, the strings that come with it are a bit slack but they work very well!
Don't run at the sight of Squire!
Many people see the name "Squire" and think "cheap." This is not always the case. My Squire Tele was $400. Yes, it's cheaper than a Fender, but is it worse? There are conflicting opinions. Many will comfortably compare this guitar with the MIM Fender Tele. I decided to save $200. You choose!
Pretty good guitar
this is a pretty good guitar, just like the summary says. two single coils. does what it says on the can. stay in tune great. very nOICE
Good starting guitar.
This was the first guitar I bought. Got a second hand Made In Japan 1994-95 edition. Good guitar for the price and it still plays well despite many years of abuse.
Never really used but still in my possession
I own a Squier Telecaster in a burgundy finish from (trying to be accurate) the mid-1990s. Whilst |I've only used it a few times at home it seems to have a solid construction, decent sound, and an adequate ability to stay in tune. However, having acquired it around the same time as my Squier Strat, it is safe to say I prefer the latter.
Tele-twang all the way
Pinewood body. I changed the original pickups with Lollars (Tele 52) and that makes this fairly cheap guitar sound aweso e
Telemonster....
Bought a cheap squire to mod, quiet a nice guitar for the price. Currently rewiring with new pots after a recent pick-upGrade. Still wondering why I didn't buy a 2nd hand Fender one now as I'm becoming a telecaster convert. Maybe if I get a pay rise....!
Teles are so bullet-proof and fun. I like that pick-upgrade contractin. I am going to steal that.
Ha feel free, was a typo but it seemed to fit :)
