Black and Chrome Special Edition Tele Electric Guitar : You won't find this in a Squier pack.

This, friends, is the definition of Squier Telecaster Custom. With sleek, sexy chrome, and a to-die for black finish, this is what your friends are drooling over. With gloss black finish, and shiny chrome pickguard, let's just say you won't be going home alone after gigging.


This Squier telecaster is a special edition from 2004, NOT made in China, and it shows. This quality is far above that of the Squier Bullet Strats. The special edition Squier telecaster goes for $229.99 on Musicians Friend, similar to the standard tele. This is really very similar to the standard Squier telecaster, just with a slight upgrade in electronics and finish.


All of the reviews you'll find are nothing less than stellar. Squier has really gone above and beyond with this line. You think it's maybe cause they gave production to someplace other than China? Hmm, maybe.


The Squier telecaster comes with the standard body components:



-Agathis body
-Rosewood fretboard
-Dotted inlays
-Maple neck.


Thing is, because these are special edition, you better get your hands on 'em fast. Who knows when they'll run out? The internet has that lovely habit of making things disappear when you hold off on them.


If you've been looking for a new, cheap Squier, then this is the Squier telecaster for you.

Squier Standard Telecaster

The Squier Standard Tele is a beautiful guitar. Period. If you like that old vintage guitar look, then you're going to love this guitar. With it's fast-action neck, agathis body, and rosewood fretboard, it's a beauty to behold.

Now, it isn't just beautiful, it's also one of the best sounding Squier guitars you can find on the market today. With a price point of $299 new, it's also not going to break the bank.

Many long time guitar players have vouched for the excellence of the Squier Standard Tele. It's a great budget guitar, and Hillbilly Rock on Musicians Friend posted:

"I just recieved this guitar today, and I was amazed at the high quality and playability. I actually compared the tone of this instrument with an american standard tele in a local music store and my ears(with 22 yrs experience)could not tell any real difference. The sound of the squier, mim, and am standard are surprisingly very close. The main differences in these guitars is obvously where they were made. Sure the squier has cheaper electronics but you could never tell this by the way it sounds. People can say all they want but real musicians and collectors alike will tell you that mexicans were making Fender guitars as early as the 1960's in Fenders factory in california! All that being said, this is a great telecaster guitar regardless of nationality. I just can't see shelling out $1,000 or more when you could have one of these beauties in every color for that kind of money. So, all-in-all,a very good quality instrument, I am very pleased."

I'm not sure I'd say it's comparable to a USA Tele, but alot of others compare them to MIM Telecasters, which is still quite a feat for this cheapie. The cheap Squier Standard Telecaster comes in 3 distinct colors: Cherry Burst, Vintage White, and Black.

I've handled a couple of these bad boys before, along with a Made in USA Tele Thinline. The thinline definitely had nicer action and a little more crunch, but these cheap guitars still sounded fantastic. If you're a fan of the telecaster sound, you'll definitely want this over the Squier Standard Strat. They're both great guitars, but nothing beats that clean, bluesy Telecaster sound, if you ask me.

You can find these at any music retailer about, but Musicians Friend has great shipping times, great customer service, and all in all, great products. You can find a link to the Cherry Burst Squier Standard Telecaster here.
