General

This Vintage Modified series Squier Telecaster Deluxe is based on the double-humbucker Fender Tele from 1972, but doesn't cost nearly as much. At first glance, the Telecaster Deluxe bears a striking resemblance to the Telecaster Custom. The main difference is that the Deluxe has a Wide Range humbucker pickup in bridge position. Also, the slender Tele headstock has been replaced with a larger sixties-style Stratocaster headstock with an accurate vintage logo. Adittionally, the back of the body has been given a more comfortable contour, and the neck features a flatter 12-inch fretboard radius for more comforable playing.

Squier Vintage Modified Telecaster Deluxe: original Fender looks

As far as appearance goes, Squier did an excellent job emulating the original from Fender. by providing this guitar with a one-piece 21-fret maple neck with a yellow-tinted vintage finish. The lightweight, authentically-shaped basswood body features a large black pickguard and a set of chrome-plated Wide Range pickups with an engraved Fender logo. Of course, the essential four black Fender-style knobs and the chrome hard tail bridge with six adjustable saddles and strings-through-body construction are all there too. Thanks to the flatter fretboard you can effortlessly press down on the strings along the entire neck without losing or muting notes.

Fat humbucker sound with single-coil definition

In the late sixties, Fender decided to compete with the popular contemporary humbucker guitars. The results were the Telecaster Custom, the Thinline and this Deluxe version, all three of them equipped with the new Fender Wide Range humbucker. It is a pickup with the full, warm tone and output of a PAF-style humbucker with the clarity and definition of a single-coil. The pickups on the Squier Vintage Modified Telecaster Deluxe were specially designed by Fender to accurately emulate that authentic sound. The electronics of the Tele Deluxe lean more towards that of an LP-style guitar with four knobs, 1x volume and 1x tone control per pickup, plus a three-position pickup switch.

The Squier brand

Ever since Fender introduced their first electric guitar in the fifties, many competing manufacturers have produced cheaper imitations of variable quality. To offer you the same reliability, sound and playability of the original at a reasonable price, Fender started a subsidiary in 1982: Squier (not to be confused with the Fender Esquire!). Squier's guitars and bass guitars are built under supervision and by specifications of Fender itself, assuring you purchase an authentic, quality instrument.

Snel kopen deze rocker voor dat hij duurder word!

Echt een aanrader met super pick-ups en geweldige houtkwaliteit!

Mooie getinte hals en goed lakwerk!

Hals speelt als boter en door de vlakke radius zijn bends beter te doen als bij de 7 inch toetsen!

Super voor ultra highgain gebruik en erg stil qua brom!

Deze moet je als pro erbij hebben!

Fijne gitaar. Intonatie is goed. Wel waren van de 1e, 2e en zesde snaar de zadels in de brug iets te laag afgesteld wat hoger op de hals een licht kletterend geluid opleverde. Dat was simpel op te lossen. Als je de gitaar uit de doos haalt zit er ter bescherming een dubbele folie laag op de slagplaat. Als je dit wilt verwijderen ben je wel even bezig want de moeren van de 3-standen schakelaar en de potmeters zijn pas aangebracht nadat de folie op de slagplaat is geplaatst. De potmeterknoppen zitten enorm vast dus die trek je er niet zo eenvoudig vanaf. Dit is dus iets wat je niet overhaast moet doen. Al met al ben ik erg tevreden over dit instrument. Het is geproduceerd in Indonesie onder toezicht van Fender en zit er gelikt uit en speelt heel soepel. Toppertje. De levering door Bax is uitstekend uitgevoerd. Complimenten.
