Squier FSR Classic Vibe '60s Telecaster Thinline MN Sonic Blue
Telecaster electric guitar with resonance chambers and Alnico single coils
The Squier FSR Classic Vibe '60s Telecaster Thinline MN Sonic Blue pays tribute to the first Thinline Teles of the late '60s and accordingly convinces with a strong character sound. Squier uses a Nato body with generous resonance chambers and F-hole, which characterizes the sound of the electric guitar with a warm timbre. The bolt-on maple neck with its slim "C" profile furthermore lies comfortably in the hand, so that every note plays as if by itself. On the guitar amplifier, two Fender Designed Alnico single-coil pickups provide distinctive sounds that combine the typical twang with the timbre of thinline construction. High-quality Hardware in the form of the classic 3-saddle bridge and precise vintage-style tuners completes the Squier Classic Vibe '60s Telecaster Thinline.
The Squier Classic Vibe '60s Telecaster Thinline impresses with characterful sounds and comfortable playing characteristics.

Squier FSR Classic Vibe '60s Telecaster Thinline MN Sonic Blue
For the price, this is a fantastic guitar, looks great and plays very well, I coupled it with a Fender Mustang modelling amp for use at home, and it is a great pairing. Very happy with the purchase, price and service were great.

Sounds great. Looks good. Strings had corrosion on arrival and jack socket was a tad loose! I also gave the truss rod a loosen to relieve string buzz on the g string. But easy to tighten and will replace the strings in time. Good service from dv27 arrived swiftly and well packaged. Best price online at the time of purchase

Chose this guitar because I'm an old guy now and was finding the weight of a standard Telecaster just too much to make the experience of playing pleasurable; the Thinline is considerable lighter (25-30% ?) and has the additional benefit of producing a good enough sound without amplification, to be able to just pick it up for a brief play or sofa lounging. Amplified it has all the Telecaster tone, ring and 'quack' expected from this iconic model. I never really noticed much difference between my standard Fender Telecaster to the Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster sold recently on account of its weight.....while I'm sure the Custom shop models are honed to a more sophisticated finish, I associate a Telecaster as a working mans tool, and a good one. The build and finish on this new Thinline is really good utility quality in line with its forbears and I'm really enjoying the lighter weigh more resonant feel of it (somehow it has a feel that reminds me of the Hofner Verithin I bought my son years ago). Ok, you get the picture I'm loving it...... and truly amazing that it only cost £329. Delivery as advised and excellent packing. Many thanks.
