Squier Limited Edition Classic Vibe '60s Telecaster SH, Black Overview
The Squier Ltd Ed Classic Vibe '60s Custom Telecaster is an homage to the past, incorporating vintage-style elements to provide an authentic retro experience. That includes a popular mod from the period: Swapping the neck pickup for a humbucker. This leads to rich, creamy alnico tones at the neck - perfect for delivering a bluesy punch or thick overdriven tones. Additionally, this guitar offers modern player-friendly attributes, such as a comfortable "C" shaped neck, a 9.5" radius fingerboard, and classic narrow-tall fret wires.
And while the sounds and feel are both modern, its aesthetics boast a refined Fender character. A vintage-style bridge matches with '60s tuners to complete the old-school vibe, while providing excellent tuning stability. The limited edition all-black finish with matching headstock, complemented by the vintage-tint neck and nickel-plated hardware, adds an elegant touch to this instrument.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionFender-designed alnico pickups
What makes this guitar sound so good? It's the Fender-designed alnico single-coil pickups. These pickups use Alnico V magnets, which are designed to produce a clear, balanced tone with plenty of sweet highs and tight lows. You can expect excellent clarity and definition when playing chords or lead lines, making it perfect for country, blues, or rock genres. These pickups are also versatile enough to handle high-gain distortion, making it suitable for a variety of playing styles.
Modern playability
The Limited Edition Classic Vibe™ '60s Custom Telecaster® not only boasts vintage-inspired features but also offers modern playability. The "C"-shaped neck profile provides a comfortable grip, allowing for smooth movement up and down the fretboard. The 9.5"-radius fingerboard is also a great feature as it provides a more modern feel, making it easier to bend strings and perform techniques like vibrato. And with narrow-tall frets, you get the perfect balance between vintage and contemporary playability.
Nickel-plated classic-style hardware
Adding to its vintage appeal, this Squier model comes with nickel-plated hardware. The bridge, tuners, and control knobs all feature a classic Fender design, giving the instrument an authentic retro look. These pieces of hardware are not only visually appealing but also practical in their functionality. For instance, the vintage-style string-through-body Telecaster bridge provides excellent sustain and resonance, while the nickel-plating adds a touch of elegance.
