All user reviews for the Squier Vintage Modified Telecaster Custom

see precedents posts, shielding the body with a good layer of insulating paint and wiring rather well done although I think here must be different from one room to another)

first prize.

assembly full hard (I had to add some wood filler holes in the heel of the neck which 2 were virtually stripped and no rights, I also had to re-center the plate that supports the pickups, I have the opportunity to flush down the bridge)

so you have to get your hands dirty

she has a good mouth

USE

heavy enough,
access to acute rather good considering the "neck socket"
efforts must be made to find a sound that goes well (not bad settings)

SOUNDS

by-against, there just has a good range of usable sounds
for any style I find a sound,

for me, it is necessary that my guitar is of the character and it's done.

I must specify that I am a "riffeur"

NOTICE GLOBAL

bought last Christmas
it's a good guitar for a beginner who does not have a Swiss account and is not confined to one style in particular (although ...

except for the pure metalheads

the handle is made for lumberjacks, too thick for me at first (I have a sl400g marlin and the handle is highway-land, nothing to see), but we made it
Change the outset strings and opt for the 11-52

after as I said above, it is still déstinée to scratch-mechanics (it will not be delivered in a box velvet that one but in a beautiful cardboard)

will see the test Chatreeo on youtube to the sounds, even if it's just limited to the position selector

m.à.j: for a beginner, put a little more and take a hagstrom (good cash scratches and cheap)

Made in Indonesia
2 volumes and 2 tones like all custom TV 72 and a 3-position selector
the neck is maple including key
Easel TV classic single microphone
humbucker Fender "Wide Range" in the neck and Duncan Design TE-101B
microphones excellent for this price range
the only problem on the board, the selection of the wood body, Coles 4 pieces to each other without any logic assembly to harmonize the grain, the aesthetic is made to kick in line with the price of this guitar but a sunburst that not forgive, we are very far from a U.S. finish that makes perfect sense ..

UTILIZATION

the neck is maple with a one room with a superb vintage honey glaze
profile is identical to my 40th anniversary stratocaster U.S., a little more
bigger and rounder than on my TV SQ classic vibe 50. the accuracy of the shaft is perfectly straight along its entire length, no strip (after a good adjustment) even in the extreme treble, planning frets is perfect, worthy of much more expensive violin

SOUNDS

Customers who bought this guitar used, the previous owner installed a humbucker in the bridge DiMarzio Tone Zone in simple format, so I express myself not on the bridge pickup .. quality duncan TE-101B design is apparently found in all reviews I've read even if you do not really know if these pickups duncan design really come from a production Semour duncan
However I am surprised by the performance of wide range, I was expecting a humbucker lambda lacking clarity and precision but this is not the case, nice surprise! very nice microphone that has heat and shine with a good potato and a nice crunch from that teases gain. I further tested the DiMarzio which seems to defend himself in saturated but sorely lacking dynamic clear sound for my taste, the intermediate position has not really convinced me, it is not impossible that I go back to the duncan place to confirm ..

OVERALL OPINION

I've just acquire this guitar so it's still a bit early to be totally definitive and categorical on the machine but a priori as often with Squier series "vintage modified" and "classic vibe" have a price extremely quality report Interestingly, these guitars are much more than instruments for beginners, and are an excellent alternative to more expensive Fender. if the price is an important criterion that you not be too fussed about the finish (wood graining and contour of the pickguard) and you already own the upscale but want
diversify your guitar set cost, have no hesitation, jump on these shovels will give real pleasure!

I therefore looked exactly the same skyscraper (origin, etc.) that I had the opportunity to buy a deluxe Telecaster pickups with fender ...
this second model was bought used, the seller had installed humbucker Bare Knuckle, the output level was too strong for my taste, so I handed the microphone origins (without any label)

UTILIZATION

The handle is it enjoyable?
it feels comfortable immediately

Access to acute (recent freight) is it easy?
I go there quite often, but do not do special tricks ...

Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
all elements must fall or (selector, controls, bridge)
it is not lightweight, but it is much lighter than a les paul ...

to get a good sound, just plug and play ..

like the first, I modified the mail: Wiring paul 50's wiring and capacitors (oiled paper NOS)

I also placed strings d'addario chrome Oct. 48)

I set the harmonics and height of bridges .. a bit of a fender product and cleaning lets go!

SOUNDS

when I changed the wiring "50'wiring" she gained impetus and clarity (with the same microphones ..)

properly adjusted (neck, bridge harmonics), this guitar sounds just already, which is a very good thing, the neck is thin and comfortable

Once connected, the issue provided humbucker sound both warm and defined, the maple fingerboard is not there some foreign-Thee ...

if you want to play metal, go your way or buy EMG ...
with overdrive or a Fuzz Tone Bender, this guitar will give you great sensations,

what attracted me to this custom telecaster is that it is unique (no single coils) Gibsonnien the controls ... the concept

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?
6 years the first two weeks the second.

Have you tried many other models before buying it? 5

How would you rate the quality / price?
very respectable, they are better finished than the Chinese ...


With experience, you do again this choice? ...
I did it a second time, so yes

ps: the 50 'wiring is the mod to do before changing anything ... I publish a photo of the Modified

Little to moderate an opinion on the quality of this guitar violin ...
made in Indonesia ... with wooden crate, the agathis. this wood has two interesting for manufacturers of guitars features, this is simply one of the cheapest and most available on the market, and its acoustic properties are interesting (not far from mahogany, purists will bite me. ..). on the other hand it has a major flaw, it is extremely soft, so tinkerers should be very careful. After two or three unscrewing screwing the screws into the wood will no longer hold, and an error is very hard to catch up, finally, it marks very quickly and not a little ... It is unfortunately the type of wood on more expensive guitars (Rev. example ...) a joke on you?
Squier handle base, I love it, shrink quality handle aging well. Junction poor body handle ...
The hardware is minimal in terms of quality (it begins to oxidize at home), mechanical hold relatively good agreement, I do not ask them more ...
Overall, the level of finish is really insufficient in view of the price. basecoat with default (seen on many models), paint ugly and minima, a fold pickguard too thin and ill-fitting (that curls ...).
The or is the cat is in the mail, it is very simple to redo everything and change. The pickups have no potato or personality, the knobs can be replaced by switches so they are not progressive and unreliable when wiring and soldering, my 11 year old daughter is better ...
Short enough for the new price and even the score on occasion ...

UTILIZATION

Good to handle, I am very fender, and it gives me the right of this guitar.
Ergonomics and access to acute, it is a TV, we like it or not ...
When to get a good sound with honestly with electronics and the original pickups, I've just never reached ...
on the other hand after modifications, it's just become one of my main guitars ...

SOUNDS

Well I'll talk to her after the changes. This guitar was given to me by my wife, and long unused. I needed in another project and had a lot of parts waiting: 490R and 498T pickups gibson knobs CTS condo paper oil and good braided cable. The idea was to upgrade the guitar and sell it at a good price. So replacement pickups by Gibson, complete change of electronics and wiring to the old Les Paul ... I also painted and customized pickguard.
THE slap!! Even my luthier was on my ass. It has been compared to a Mesa other similar guitars store, gibson, hagstrom, vox, esp ... she exploded all ...
Great for rock music and other saturated, but also superb in its clear (casseroles, arpeggios, picking ...), I even played jazz with ... A very precise and articulate sound, less dark than on a standard guitar LP, but warm and with a soul ... Versatility is extreme (I myself am very surprised, I'm quite single coil ...), especially with real knobs.
So finally I have not sold, I sold another great, I never thought I'd sell (77 custom locket love the violin better mounted fender wide range) and this is the guitar I first unsheathed now ...
There is surprising is that Gibson pickups were far from sound both on the standard SG they were from, they seemed very bland where change ...
So I now have to put a real hardware and real pickguard ...

OVERALL OPINION

What I like most about this guitar is the great surprise I had after amendment, I did not really expect and I was betting not a Kopeck this shovel, even after mod .. .
What I like least is that we can sell more than € 300 as a low-end guitar and ended badly ...
I've had 3 years and 6 months since the electronic change. It has been 30 years since I played the guitar, and I have seen happen or had a bunch of shovels of all kinds (check my profile).
The value for money is way for me (although it was offered to me). For 340 € in new one can find much better guitars (better wood, better finishes, better electronics ...) and I would never have made that choice (my wife and I did in the thanks). Below 150 €, given the potential for an upgrade, it can be interesting, but it's still a little Lotto and it can be expensive in terms of initial quality of the guitar and its ability to resell . So an investment thinking.
In any case it is still became one of my main guitars with a wonderful sound ...

Indonesian manufacturing, handle and maple fingerboard, two hambucker, style three position selector les paul, a volume and tone micro

UTILIZATION

very good violin, really amazing! The handle is perfectly fine and very comfortable, varnished or too thin or too sticky, good overall balance, a Telecaster quite honest what ...

the pickups are a bit cheap and electronics too, this is where they are making savings, but it is not very serious, it is easy to change ...

That said, base it sounds great, nice well rounded bass and treble sparkling is the violin that does everything and see how it goes through the mail we said we would like to hear it through other mics ...

SOUNDS

I play with loops, so I need a good guitar can pretend to be low, while ensuring its compact and precise rhythm, and finally that would do well to spend her little solo over it all ...

I must say that I am forced to admit that this guitar "low end" comes out with flying colors ... and yet I have not changed anything in the electronic

I mainly play on a HotRod Deluxe, wah-dime-DL4 before the amp and ME-50 effect (accounting vibrato-delay-NG) loop
miro handle is heavy but a bit fuzzy, the pickup is a bit too tinny but it does its job ...

we feel that the violin to desire to give, without plugging it already sounds very plain and ample, it is precise and generous, we feel that it is not constrained by the electronic

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this guitar when I started in the "tuning" guitar, I bought it for my hand, it was cheap and I expected to remove quickly to get into testing painting ... I had not even tried both agreement at the time of purchase, only if the handle was looked right
And then ... I still connected to see, saying, well, it was a Squier and it should not be terrible ... and then she showed me her little sounds, and I was impressed to the point that it is the stroke which I play all the time, you can not bring myself to disassemble the paint ...
she will, for sure! but for three years I play every day, and I do not get to do without ... this is my guitar bedside!

Branded fender, manufactured indonsie. has 2 doubles each with its micro regulation of tone and volume (ugly buttons), we choose one or two microphones with a 3 position switch very well placed.

UTILIZATION

The handle is fine and pleasant, easy guitar to play, overall the guitar is beautiful but too heavy!

SOUNDS

Its level is really not good if ampicillin base, because of micro base, I recommend taking the above model with Seymour Duncan (50 th)
cons by a great amp with such blues junior (I play the blues) this problem has caught up.
the microphone is not always pleasant sharp, and tones zeros gives its weird!
On mine are sizzling when I touch the buttons while playing.

OVERALL OPINION

At the beginning guitar it does not know anything, so I bought it for the look! and I regret it. this guitar with me everywhere
certe I have a little sore but not the guitar for the general view is 8 / 10 for unbeatable price, really for a first guitar is the top for concerts and even a little warm. and yes the price of a coward I was back. more I saw the singer of imperial crowns (first part of rolling stones) play in concert, ca drives, bravo squier! because a friend in the same stratosphere, the quality is much worse.

and unlike the first epiphone price, this guitar is not at all coarse and much cheaper, so why not with a low budget, is the best! and if you have a little more money to take the model above.

Everything is already said.

UTILIZATION

I was looking for a telecaster type guitar to use an old Warmoth neck rosewood fingerboard TV lying to me since QLQ years. I found this model of opportunity for € 130, I jumped on it, especially for the custom look.

The original handle is excellent for a guitar of this price, I keep it in a corner FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

The guitar is very heavy! to believe that there are pieces of lead in the body, but in fact not.

Qualitée the paint is poor, it flakes off in large pieces at the slightest fart.

The microphones are simply ignoble origins.

SOUNDS

I set up a sph90 1n (phat cat, seymour) in severe and I changed the bridge for a custom standard telecaster with vintage STL1 54, which gives me an incredible his telecaster and a sharp grain p90 I was looking for have long been serious. the mix of the two microphones is very interresting.

Originally, the sound is palichon, the pickups are really sucks, I have already said above.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall it is a skyscraper next to the interresting price that want to have fun tinkering. Originally, it is beautiful, but it sounds pretty bad, for against the Luter is good.

Squier Telecaster but with two humbuckers and 4 potentiomtres rgler individuelelment for volume and treble-bass dj says it all t and is no longer manufactured, now is the telecustom 2

Look may be on the Fender site to see if there is still information
I wanted a guitar "style telecaster" because it is the "Mre" all the guitar look fabulous years its simplicity and I did not want to dig too much brains to buy an electric .. .

In fact I'll have me scratching my head !!!!!!!!

UTILIZATION

I do not want to write too much to speak ill of a guitar !!!!!!!!

The handle is not bad, but I do not like the sleeves while stocky, accustomed to guitar "folk" can be ...

Ergonomics is not good either TRS, we can not adopt the position of potentiomtres

The weight is important because the body is agate !!!!!!!!

SOUNDS

I wonder what kind of music to suit this guitar!
The sound of the pickups is "indescribable" in the wrong direction ... and it hardly means a diffrence between the two types of microphones!
In addition, there is a maximum of parasites ...

there are 2 school for choosing a guitar, those who think that beginners can take anything and then after some time, buy a "good guitar"
And the other who think it must have a good hardware ds The beginning and then grow on the same machine
I am rather in the 2d case !!!!!!!!

OVERALL OPINION

I keep six months and almost no use of ... so I j'tais preque dgout the electric guitar ... I'll try again a few times in final test

Can be used by buying really expensive and by changing the pickups, they must get something, but I have a big doubt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A small indoniesienne of 22 boxes, a tonal and a microphone with a volume selector 3 positions
rguler for all

UTILIZATION

End and a handle that allows for super enjoyable dplacements fast along the entire length! with the flexible fingers 22 do not be afraid!

really a great face that always have small effect that the fate ds. around the neck of a super magic continues taken in hand by a strap prvoyez against "comfort" becaufe if they do not nglig the look, weight, either! she's small and weighs a whole with a strap Nilon leaves traces in it!

and yet it was not the quality of the microphones that justifies that! The pickups are simply poor, hollow sound fade excluding grsillement from time to time!

SOUNDS

For all that will be rock, pop and solo is a joy when you turn on a good amp e we changed the pickups! I go for my runs with two amps, a Vox AC30 Vox AD30 Valvetronix and the microphones have become micro John Suhr SSV (trs entrouve is little and it takes about 150 micro) and for radical change, it sounds like a ESSB and anything goes in the softphone, the Santana, Gary Moore dire straits, acdc, and even the manson!
brief few changes that make this guitar to violin making trs good quality but bad sound system, a true concert guitar! So I give 5 because without these amendments and an amp is really basic (but aprsc 10)

OVERALL OPINION

I have for over a year and I'm not at all due now that it is "prpare" c rgal real! then for all those who Veulettes have fun starting with a small budget and who know how to work on own custom bunker on the OCCASION! The report price is EXCELLENT quality, but still a prvoyez extension cord (at least for the pickups) and you'll be in seventh heaven

time I do not really regret this adventure and I ressigner in squier carefree to repeat this adventure! These changes have a scratch "unique" that the mouth and his dream of! Do not hesitate, run to buy it

Manufacturing indonsiennne ...
22 frets, two humbuckers type "vintage"
6 bridge saddles
2 volumes, two tones

UTILIZATION

Channel rather enjoyable yes! rgl trs is much fun, I managed to settle the action without trs low buzzer
in ergonomics ... the telecaster is a form that is 50 years old ... so must love the beefy guitars!
The settings are effective

SOUNDS

For blues, rock, pop ca can do it, but the pickups are really cheap .... I suggest a passage P90 in the neck pickup and a big fat humbucker in an acute or micro gretsch type: c ' is what I did and the guitar was finally able to speak properly, especially as the violin is correct.
RULES and we get a interesting alliance between the TRS and fender sound fatter Lespaul typ.

OVERALL OPINION

A guitar like this to chance it can do to test different microphones on it and see which ones stick it on the mieux.mais it will change

- Guitar factory in Indonsie
- A Telecaster neck (22 Medium Jumbo frets), with 2 humbucker pickups, a volume rglage and Tone for each, plus a 3 position switch.
- Telecaster Bridge type with through-string.
- Body Agathis

UTILIZATION

The neck is fast and enjoyable trs Access in treble is excellent. The guitar is lgre. When I had the strings buzzed a lot.

SOUNDS

I play mostly Rock / Metal. I use a Boss overdrive home without it, the sound does not suit me. Nanmoins it sounds good in clean / crunch I would not go up that is crystalline.

I changed the pickups and now all is well.

OVERALL OPINION

This is my guitar and Premire, without the problem of micro Fully satisfied I am.
I try other models APRS. I remain neutral as compared to 200 qualitprix whether to change the pickups APRS ... other guitars least Chres can do the trick.
Exprience with this choice I would do, yes. =)

Good to go see the features on the site or in any Squier dealer it, it will be more accurate than my description <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt="mrgreen" />

UTILIZATION

The neck is super fun to play, very typical telecaster what! So a handle end and the handle speed issue is naked real highway! <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt="mrgreen" /> The ergornomie overall the guitar is rather better than average for a guitar in this price range, it is not too heavy and is well balanced, handy for those like me who plays the beginning lol
Good access to the acute head is like the telecaster .... super easy!

SOUNDS

this guitar sounds very pop rock, it has a super clear sound and is great for playing rock a bit quiet, kind beatles, phone etc. etc.. However I advise against it for those who want to play metal or hard to go your way.
The sound is super lens that allows for quick and easy sound you search!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it less than a year, I would do without hesitation that choice in this price range I try for a 20th of the guitar and that really stands out! and far more.
The violin and guitar of this great, allowing those who want the walk to evolve to change the pickups that propels this range in a price range I think of 600 € (with a good mic it does wonders)! !

I recommend it to all who have limited budgets a bit, the look is more allucinant! no problem!

Everything has already been said!

UTILIZATION

The handle to false airs lespauliens I think! Big enough, but still nice and you get used easily.
Weight level I was quite surprised because it is quite heavy in fact.
Access to acute is easy, what's a telecaster.
Sound level, I will discuss below

SOUNDS

To begin I must tell you my story, initially my plan was to buy a Squier Telecaster custom, repaint it in white but keep the microphones origins .. However, contrary to what I saw and play, the pickups are not good at all, I found them empty, with no personality and especially when there is whistling a lot of gain distortion! So, I decided to change it, I started my research and that's where I'm falling on the GFS brand. I was a little hesitant, but given the price (25 € the mic) I told myself that I would lose not much the worse. Finally they are very good, I know it's hard to believe but true! (I'll leave a notice on the microphones) Anyway, here for the story! All this to say that I did not appreciate at all the original pickups but I do not want to go down the guitar because it has huge potential and with some modifications it has everything a great!
I return to the sound, I tried it once in rehearsal, I think the clean and crunch to defend well, especially for this price range, for the cons distortion sounded a bit disgusting and she hissed.
In my opinion, changing pickups, this guitar has everything a large and easily rivals much more expensive guitar.

PS: For those interested, the pickups are GFS Fat Pat and they sound serious, indeed I will leave a notice.

OVERALL OPINION

I have the past few months, however the changes were completed recently and so I do not really use it for a few days.
Basically, my goal was just to have a model telecaster classic 72, the white paint in and change the pickups if needed so I did not really try a lot of models before you buy.
What I like most is the look and quality of the violin, it is well done and the mechanics are good.
The quality is very good price considering the quality of the violin.
In short, in summary I bought this guitar used for 120 €, I repainted in white, I changed the pickups with GFS Fat Pat and the result is brilliant: a guitar that sounds great and monster has a face for a little over 200 €! What good is spending huge sums of money when you can have a very good guitar for cheap

Well, sorry, but for features, check out the other com's.


UTILIZATION

The handle, a real Telecaster neck is really good to start: not too thick or too thin, it easily marries the shape of your hand, it is happiness!
The shape is a classic telecaster, so easy to access acute. However, this guitar is heavy at the end of a good rehearsal (brief 3-4h) you start to feel well: provide a good strap!


SOUNDS

The sound of this guitar is quite surprising for a guitar that is low end: in clean, it's all good, clean, precise enough to crunch the microphones follow without too much trouble, whatever the sound becomes a bit messy when we begin to push the crunch (very) strong.
Only in large distal one feels the true boundary microphones: Here they do not really follow.
So pretty versatile guitar anyway.

I use this guitar for really clean, it has a "je ne sais quoi" that I like.


OVERALL OPINION

I have this guitar for over a year, when I bought it, I had not tried many models, I just started electric guitar.
However, even today, this guitar is part of the best at this price, in my opinion. Now, I can still quote another guitar the same price, but different sounds interesting: Lag Roxanne 100 or 200 (I know which is worth 250 €). If I had known this guitar, my choice would have hesitated between the two.
Warning, these two guitars are guitars for beginners, this is not the ultimate guitar!

What I like most ... the clean sound, clean and well defined, and the telecaster in itself, I think this guitar is still beautiful, with black lacquered metal and microphones!

What I like least ... nothing considering the price.
Value for money 9 / 10 in my opinion (not 10, you can toujorus better ^ ^)
