All user reviews of 5/5 for the Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster '50s [2008-2018]

First of all hello = p, on the characteristics t everything more or less say, I'll just point out that this guitar has brass saddles, rare I think for that price.

10/10, I find nothing to say = p

Ps: this guitar is pine, and pine is fragile, not particularly carefully I have some small poc '. But do not get excited, and you me, the fact that there have two impacts of 1cm in diameter does not prevent me from sleeping ...

UTILIZATION

The handle is enjoyable trs, APRS must love this kind of key that has the default to be a bit "sticky" because of sweat. But I am fully satisfied

APRS for ergonomics, it is a tl. But a heavy sacrment tl = p. Personal drang has me not because I like heavy guitars, not out of masochism but because a lot can be felt on the sound I think (as a comment Previous emphasized elsewhere = D)

In gnral, I think you get a good sound but you can easily obtain a number of crazy sounds tampering the knobs (which are firm).

Only BMOL, over time, I have a problem with my jack that dvisse, but easily rparable must not forget the price of this lady! The State gnral trs trs is good.

9 / 10 because of the jack, but let's not forget that this is a made in china has 270! This is normal, almost reassuring to see that everything is not perfect = p

SOUNDS

Dj I want to say that even without amp it sounds! I think it shows a dj that violin making is quality (that's what I think and only my opinion of course = p).
Otherwise well qu'tant pluttmtaleux I play a lot of style blues gary more, I love funk and also play funk with a telecaster, a stepfather may be weird but I like to play with the twang.

Anyway j'arrte to tell you my life = p

I love the neck pickup, it has a trs her soft, warm, with highs that are anything but showy, I love this position really, one little BMOL, it lacks a bit of EHJV!
I love playing the blues in the neck position or style sweet song of stone sour bother ...
Now the neck pickup! It twang! but I think it is not typical tlcaster, personal trs INTERESTED I find a big fuzz distortion or, for that matter the trs are impressive two micro-level meeting of the disto = 0. It is trs aggressive but not loud, the sound is really INTERESTED trs. Similarly also in his clear, this microphone is also excellent, really nothing to say.
I like using the neck position, set the tone a bottom and push the play hendrix gain by attacking like crazy with mdiator lumberjack.
Just to tell me want = D
Otherwise, the sustain is good.
Voila voila, I was thinking of changing the micro buying but I still have not found my happiness because these are two small micro be so good on the violin it's not easy to find it to be aa height.

9 / 10 the lack of EHJV the neck pickup (just to give a history of default)

OVERALL OPINION

In short, I really like this guitar, if you like the telecaster and even if you do not like them specially, when even try this little lady, she probably will surprise you and you can sduira be.

For my part, I find the quality price report impressive violin making is good, the hardware has the luxury of being more than efficient.

We tend to forget that it is a squier, unlike the Mexican SERIES o we tend to forget that it's a fender ...

Otherwise upgrade level, some will want can be a bridge 6 saddle, I personally am not for, I find that the bridge 3 brass saddles very involved in his telecaster. Then the guitar MRIT receive better pickups but you intrta be patient because as the saying manson.reznor ( https://fr.audiofanzine.com/membres/a.play,u.39772.html ) all micro did not go because of his violin SPECIFICATIONS. Personal I head to try a little trick that I dmange, it will be a paste EMG. Because even if I usually SD, I really wonder what would give with the violin.
Following the next episode can be = p

A small average 9.3/10 as I round 10 for report qualitprix is ​​really crazy.
-> Try!

CHARACTERISTICS The Retailer is directly on the site of the manufacturer. In any case it is a guitar fabricaton Chinese trsrussie.

UTILIZATION

The neck of this guitar is really enjoyable to play. I possd a Fender Classic Player Baja Telecaster and I had trouble with the handle, while that of the Squier is really easy to play and bine. The base SETTING THE rception silent during his dj trs well. I by chang against the original string sets, a 9-42, 10-46 against one.
The weight is a standard Telecaster like Access in treble.

SOUNDS

I am a lover of blues and believe me, this guitar can play without any worries. But this is not limited and can also be used for other style.
The pickups are well balanced and trs I have a small preferences for the neck pickup for its warmth and depth. The micro acute as it is clear and trs prcis on the clean channel of a apli lamps, it makes sounds really limpipdes.
These microphones have an output gain trs lev it will adjust the volume on your amp from the gutar a Les Paul for example (requires humbucker). But it is true that microphones were SingleCoil Alnico type III, and who says so vintage vintage said output gain relatively low.
I play this guitar in a combo Blackstar HT5 and Marshall JVM205H and got married very well.

OVERALL OPINION

It is true that I possde that for one month, but I had a sort of love at first sight when I tried it at the store and the lightning strike persists.
I will not change the pickups as some prconisent because I assume that when designing the guitar, the designers have made a wise choice by putting in the balance all that composes CHARACTERISTICS.
Anyway if you are looking for a Telecaster, for it is a legendary guitar possder without blowing your budget will, well try ...

The Squier Classic Vibe 50s Tele is made in China as an affordable version of the much coveted 1950s blackguard model Fenders. It is an extremely good value for money, and is highly impressive overall. It features a pine body (noteworthy because that was actually the body wood used on some of the earliest Fender Teles), a maple neck with 21 frets, vintage style tuners and bridge and a standard Telecaster electronics setup with two single coils and a control layout comprising a volume control, a tone control and a 3 way selector switch. It all adds up to being a great instrument for sure. It's available in a white blonde finish and a butterscotch blonde as well, both of which are very 50s.

UTILIZATION

The design of this particular Tele is really stunning considering the price point that they build it to. It's not the lightest guitar in the world, but the body feels SOLID and well constructed. The neck has a thick gloss finish that is well applied. Some (including me) think that it's a bit too thick a finish that inhibits hand movement, but that's a minor issue as the neck is very playable as is. The out of the box setup is great and it's really a dream to play.

Getting a good tone out of this guitar is dead simple. Teles are some of my favourite guitars to play because of the variety of tones you get from not many options. The neck pickup offers some stellar jazz tones, the middle pickup gets fairly funky when you want it, and the bridge pickup is just what the doctor ordered for your country and rock prescriptions.

SOUNDS

I've tried this guiitar with various Fender, Marshall and Mesa Boogie amplifiers. I'd say the Tele excels at clean and lower gain tones. The pickups (disputed to be made by Tonerider Pickups) are EXCELLENT. They're very dynamic and response to pick attack and use of the volume and tone controls. You can really approach it with a light touch or you can dig in hard and it will respond very well. To me that's a mark of a great instrument. It does everything from jazz to country well on clean sounds, and to me it parallels the sound of the $1,000 American Teles with ease. As you add gain the guitar still sounds great too. Dialing in a great hot rod British rock tone gives room for some blues, some classic and hard rock as well as some scorching, paint peeling country/shred hybrid licks from beyond... so much fun!

This guitar is definitely a killer sounding Tele. Tele's are great and this one lives up to what a good one should be tone wise.

OVERALL OPINION

All in all I'm very impressed with these guitars overall. Every Classic Vibe I've tried has been top notch as far as the quality goes, and it's shocking that they can build them to feel and sound as good as they do for the $350 they sell for new. They're definitely worth checking out by all means. If you prefer the sound of a rosewood fretboard they also offer it in a 60s Tele Custom model, which is great as well. You can't go wrong with a guitar with such an awesome Classic Vibe to it!

everything was already said .. see below

UTILIZATION

the handle is a killer, really a pure joy!

I find it not so heavy as that! vacuum and it sounds great! I play at night without an amp and have a blast with ... super sustain.

The neck pickup is very bluesy, and his middle is really good for small rhythmic and dynamic mic is super horse he goes really well in the mix! crisp and precise.

OVERALL OPINION

It's a wonderful guitar.
From scratch, I've had a few. I'm not a guitarist out of the ordinary, far from it, I just itches for fun and for my songs, but for the first time I love the feeling of the instrument on which I play.
It's weird feeling. My old guitars were nice, but she had finally no personality. I took them versatile, pretty, but I tired very quickly and I ended up selling them.
The telecaster is another matter. It sounds incredible, cutting to perfection, a fishery that gives you wings. Should we compare it with guitars more expensive? In fact I do not care, I do not care whether or not it is superior to the model it is supposed to emulate. What I know is that when I take it, even without the plug it will come out something good.
A guitar that does not ruin her man and has a soul, it has become rare nowadays. I just wanted to emphasize, that this notice.

UTILIZATION

Channel ultra comfortable.
but easy to learn and slides alone.

SOUNDS

The microphone handle is a bit "soft" but I play one so it does not bother anyone.
The microphone stand is punchy and crystalline.

OVERALL OPINION

This will be a year.
I tried a few and do not regret my purchase.
It is a bit heavy but it quickly so it is compulsory to play nice.
I tried a Telecaster Mexico and I have not found any difference to the touch. Only the microphone handle is clearly different.

See other reviews. I put 9 for the jack, which sometimes tends to loosen a bit, but nothing really annoying.
Special mention to the brass saddles, giving a big plus to the sound and style compared to the Tele bridge with modern-type 6-jumpers. Oh, and the mechanics take very well the agreement to have no fear about that.

UTILIZATION

<ul>

The neck is great, and has nothing to envy the Fender that I had the opportunity to test, and I do not speak that Mexican standard! It slides alone, it is comfortable, neither too fat nor too thin.

</ul>

<ul>

The guitar weighs his weight, but we made it quickly (though I do not look like Arnold Shwarzenegger!).

</ul>

<ul>

Access to acute, meanwhile, is the same as for any other Telecaster: not bad, but could be improved (if that's your main selection criterion, it is better to choose a Start 'or superstrate, but it is not the same sound or the same face ... = p

In terms of getting good sound, nothing more simple: a 3-position selector (rather flexible, but I do not think it's embarrassing, on the contrary), a volume knob and one tone, to control the two famous singlecoil microphones that fit the beauty. The bridge pickup is very punchy, clean AC Twange in dry and saturated sound you get angry very acidic and one would expect from a Tele, riffs punks out on their own, it is enjoyable. One can even go up to push the vice in the big distortion, cash it very well the shock ... for riffs that metalheads going very well; on the other hand for frenzied solos I think it lacks the level of output, a humbucker seems to me more appropriate (a short video as an example ==> http://www.youtube .com / watch? v = J6YLqnHo _n- ( ) ) As for the neck pickup, it is true that it lacks a chouille fishing but overall it is very very simpa, warm and bluesy to perfection.
AH, and no background noise like "buzz", I just wanted to point out is a very good place for singlecoils!

</ul>

SOUNDS

<ul>

I play a little bit of everything and follow me beautiful in all my delusions, either of blues, funk, rock or even metal (yes, really!). However, as stated above it lacks a bit of output level over a skyscraper of humbuckers equipped, so guitarists will prefer something more muscular, or they will add a hot track and everything will be fine (I really hesitate to do so, but I really love the sound of microphones that I can not bring myself to!)

In terms of sound, as stated above is what is usually expected of a Telecaster: rather crystalline and slamming.

I mainly play a Fender Vibro Champ on xD, and obviously it goes very well with this amp ... the sound is very good.

I love all the sounds, so I do not hate (yeah, obviously ...= p). But I use a lot less intermediate position, although it is very nice too.

</ul>

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a little over a year now and I tried lots of other models, Strato, the Tele, Fender and Squier home, and frankly, it has nothing to envy of her peers . It crushes the Squiers first prize, she also crushes mex 'standard, and as was said below, to find a sound quality equivalent must be put roughly 3 times the price Fender, except for the Baja, with which is about "kif kif," but I hate the heat, and I find the system "S1" does not add much (in any case, it's not worth the price difference with this Squier .. . Fender logo costs decidedly expensive).
I love this guitar, it is excellent. She has only two flaws in my opinion: the jack that sometimes get loose a little, and the neck pickup lacks a bit of potato, but is nevertheless very good ... nothing so annoying.

For 300 euros from a German website which shall remain nameless (lol), it is a very good value for money.
Obviously, this choice I would do without any hesitation. Try it, it's worth it. Really.

already mentioned above, Chinese manufacturing as we know today has little to do with the reputation it sucitait few years ago, the specifications require both a guitar and made that any or elsewhere in the world of jumpers .. brass finish and very good overall, varnishes etc. .. alnico pickups of very good quality, excellent violin, potentiometers are progressive and big! no comparisons with lower-end Squier, I will not comment on the quality of the frets (alloy) because it is too soon to tell, the guitar is only one year.

UTILIZATION

the handle is really a treat, a little thinner than my Start U.S. and faster, the varnish can interfere with nine moving for those who have sweaty hands, it's not my case .. its lightest weight is reasonable that a stratum, but we still feel we have something on épaules.l access to the treble is clean that we can therefore expect a telecaster ..
for sound, it's also surprising is that this guitar, whatever the position, the quality of the two microphones and their differences are that you get a pallet of its super interesting, see below.

SOUNDS

the telecaster is a very typical quitar with sounds obvious but a singular contrast to what one might think, although very typed it may be necessary in any style of music, for blues it is a refference for the funky, too, for reggae is the top in both rhythmic solo, is like the big rock and punk .. no comment! that's really the value of a Telecaster, a guitar truly distinctive and yet so versatile, which was different from a Stratocaster sometimes too flexible at the expense of a little singular personality.
the pickups are ALNICO the magnet are built based on aluminum / nickel / cobalt, making it a configuration Vintage, with a little less powerful magnets as ceramics but suddenly it delay the vibration of the string and thus sustain, which in itself is not the highlight of a telecaster .. I plugged in my two amps that is, a roland cube30X (transistors) and a head 18 Watt All Tube epiphone valve senior coupled to a speaker eminence blackheart 112.
on the neck pickup many said was missing fishing, I'm more reserved on this point and I think the bridge pickup is the cause, it is indeed so powerful when you pass the bridge to handle ago actually a difference in level, it's just the balance of the two is a little lag, the clarity of the neck pickup is really good, very serious indeed less powerful than my Start, do not forget that it ' is a lipstick .. but when you turn the volume and gain on the amp you do not feel any weakness of this microphone.
The intermediate position is extremely interesting because it combines precisely these pickups really different, with a bit of twang to delay it all is finally the bridge position is really surprising, it is true that the output level is high and the rock in posibillité Solicitating are high, the crunch and saturation to suit him perfectly, very focused on those mediums that fans will love it!
I could note 10, but given a relative imbalance of pickups I put 9 ..

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a short week and it did not seem necessary to wait to give my opinion, it is legitimate in any case more than doing it after you try to store a few minutes as I ' I have read here .. in my case I played every day at least 1:30 every time, it seems sufficient to me, knowing that unlike a test store, my guitar is perfectly set (height cords, microphones, and also quality ropes, tie appropriate etc. ..) I try to store a standard mex tele and although I obviously did not play after 10h and the finish was as good, j I found that micro unquestionably lacked personality, I had even resigned to not buy American telecaster as too expensive ..
yeah, to summarize, I paid € 210 for this opportunity very good guitar and what I say without shame plays in a yard close to my Start U.S. 40th! at that price, i was close to pass on any defects and to this day, I have not really found luien ..
