Feels like an actual Fender
This is the first guitar I've purchased for myself, though I've played other Fender and Squier guitars. This telecaster feels the most like a Fender compared to any other Squier I have ever played. My singular complaint is that the neck pickup is very muddy, but the bridge pickup is beautiful. Recently took apart and restrung the guitar, and I will say opening it and looking at the electronics, they are very messily put together, and due to that it was slightly difficult to put the pickguard back on. Everything else about this guitar is near perfect.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unexpected Versatility
Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2021
I bought this guitar simply because of the beautiful finish. My intention was to make a project out of it and upgrade all of the components. After a week with the instrument, I don’t dare change anything other than the pots. I have completely fallen in love with this instrument, and cannot put it down. The neck is slim and super comfortable, with nicely dressed frets and no buzzing. The set up was playable out of the box and only took a few minutes to adjust to my liking. I can’t believe the sound from these pickups. They are bright, crisp, and very articulate. They have a gorgeous chime when played clean, especially in the neck and middle positions, but also really bite in the bridge position, making it an incredibly versatile instrument. This is 100% a keeper and is likely to remain my go-to instrument for quite some time, beating out other more expensive guitars.
