Squire Sonic Telecaster Electric Guitar, Butterscotch Blonde, Maple Fingerboard

Plays great, after tuning, looks beautiful. I will add more after I use it on a gig. Of my 5 telecaster copies, this is one of the best. Maybe because it is a Squire by Fender or that it is a special version of a Squire by Fender Telecaster, but it is as good as the 70's and 80's brand new Telecasters that I bought off the walls of music stores when I was a traveling musician. According to Amazon, this was the last red one they had, but I bet they are all good no matter what color they are painted. So far, so good.

Good guitar

Great guitar, plays well sounds great, just didn't get my skunk stripe like in the photo but no big deal

I tried out some sub-hundred dollar Telecaster copies, Glarry and a few other knockoffs, but I have some history with Fender, having purchased a 1966 Fender Mustang in the mid-70's as my first "real" guitar as a kid, so I eventually decided to fork out the extra hundred bucks and change for the Fender quality and name. Boy, did I ever make the right decision. This guitar is awesome. It was well packed and set up perfectly right out of the box. I own a 1999 Mexican made Stratocaster and a 2024 Fender Sonic Stratocaster as well, but I wanted a Telecaster for its signature Tele twang and bite. This beautiful butterscotch Telecaster with blonde maple fingerboard delivers in spade. It feels terrific and it plays exquisitely. Great job, Fender.UPDATE: I was offered the Glarry GTL tele replica for $50 by an EBay seller and I couldn't resist. I bought that one, too. It's a surprisingly great guitar. The finish is beautiful, just like the Fender and the maple neck is as straight as can be, though a bit thick. It sounds awesome and plays beautifully. I was going to replace the bridge pickup until I opened up the Fender and saw that both guitars have the same ceramic pickup. I replaced the old style tele bridge with a $10 modern telecaster bridge, so I can tune each saddle individually and I did order a telecaster replacement neck for $35. I now have an exact twin for my Fender Sonic Tele, with one exception: the Glarry body is made of Basswood, which is a lot lighter than the Maple/Poplar body on the Fender, so, even though they look the same, the Glarry is quite a bit lighter. I've ended up spending under $100 total for the Glarry, plus parts, to get the guitar that I wanted, but I had to expend quite a bit of time to get there. I easily did over $100 worth of work on it, so I still have NO regrets about buying the Fender Sonic for $199 as it was great right out of the box. If I ever purchase another telecaster, it will be a Fender.

Very good condition no issues out of box ready to go

Guitars incredible for the money and I think just in general. I am a professional full-time guitarist and for some reason I like these cheaper squire Sonic and classic vibe guitars more than expensive American guitars. I'm sure the Americans have fancier finish and look prettier and whatnot, but I don't care about that stuff. I also like these cheaper guitars because they are much lighter in weight, which I prefer. I was very surprised about how good the pickup sound. Also, I have bought other squire sonics I liked them very much but they did need a little help with the fret ends being sharp. For some reason this one was just about perfect out of the box.

I was skeptical until the guitar arrived in perfect shape ready to play. Amazing tone and feel...classic Tele sound. Fretboard very smooth ...guitar plays like butter...ran it thru a Fender amp and I was in Fender heaven. A great replacement of not better guitar than my 80's strat....plays just like it in many ways. Love that guitar is light as a feather...fits my body size perfectly...I am in ❤️.

Maple neck has 0 finish on it. Feels like playing a nightmare. Avoid AT ALL COSTS if you have any experience on guitar.
