Classic styling for unmistakable feel





Not deviating too far from the mold, the Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster Custom is still a Tele at the core. The classic maple neck and fretboard give your notes presence and bite while still feeling comfortable and fast. Reliable vintage-style tuners keep your axe in tune bend after bend. And the traditional-shaped body is familiar and instantly recognizable. The Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster Custom is all Tele.





Rockin’ pickup duo packs plenty of punch





When Fender originally launched the Telecaster Custom model in 1972, they set out to create a rock guitar that would appeal to a new generation of more aggressive guitarists. That’s why they outfitted it with a humbucker at the neck and a hotter bridge pickup. To capture that same spirit, Squier equipped the Classic Vibe ’70s Telecaster Custom with a rockin’ Fender Designed pickup duo. First, there’s the Wide Range humbucker at the neck, for beefy tone with serious impact. To complement that, an alnico Tele single-coil bridge pickup delivers the classic, biting Telecaster lead tone you’ve heard on countless hits. Top that off with a full set of volume and tone controls for each pickup, and the Squier Classic Vibe ’70s Telecaster Custom makes dialing in the perfect sound a piece of cake.





The magic of Squier’s Classic Vibe series





Since its introduction, Squier’s Classic Vibe series has been the go-to source for affordable takes on original-era Fender guitars. From the Fender-voiced pickups and reformulated vintage colors to the modern neck profiles, fingerboard radii, and narrow tall frets, Squier has gone back to the drawing board to bring you a vintage-inspired guitar with the smooth playability and tonal versatility today’s guitarists demand.
