I received the Tele this morning. It was packaged well. I pulled it out, tuned it and started playing. I was very impressed. I own a 2011 fender Tele made in Mexico and so far I do not notice any difference in the sound. I played a few songs and the recorded a song on my Zoom 16 and the guitar recorded as well as my 2011 Tele. I played rythm a base line and lead on the new Tele. It worked great. I am not a performer just a hobbyist that records in the garage. I paid $149.00 for this on Amazon and this guitar is a steal for that price. I gave it 4 stars because frets are a little sharp on the ends. Other than that it is comfortable to play. The only other negative is they only come in satin. I like shinny. Update: I am changing this to 5 stars. This guitar is amazing.

I picked up the Fender Squier Debut Series Telecaster as part of a simple, affordable setup, and it has easily exceeded my expectations. This guitar delivers exactly what you want from a Telecaster: clear, bright tones with plenty of bite, plus a surprisingly warm and usable neck pickup. Whether I’m playing rhythm, simple lead lines, or demonstrating techniques for students, the Tele cuts through cleanly and responds well to dynamics. The neck feels comfortable and playable right out of the box—great for beginners, but not limiting for more experienced players. Tuning stability has been solid, and with a quick string change and basic setup, it plays far better than its price would suggest. What impressed me most is how practical this guitar is. It works well clean, takes pedals nicely, and handles overdrive without getting harsh. I use it regularly for lessons and practice, and it’s become my go-to rhythm guitar. For anyone looking for an affordable, straightforward Telecaster that still captures the classic Fender feel, the Squier Debut Series Telecaster is an excellent choice. It’s proof that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to get a guitar that’s fun, reliable, and inspiring to play. Highly recommended.

I bought this on sale for black Friday and it was a bit cheaper than regular price. Frets are super sharp. Like nipped and zero filing. Other than that it's pretty decent for the cheap price i paid. Expect to set it up and intonate it minimum as should be expected.

Was on the fence about this squier Tele or a firefly, firefly was more $$$$ and a great guitar, a real guitar player will understand this, I really didn't need another guitar, but I didn't have a telecaster in my Collection, 50 years of playing I've played and Collected just about every brand cheap and expensive and this isn't my first Fender Squier, anyway after extensive research bought this in Sea foam green, it arrived over night, let it sit a day before doing any set up adjustments, to my surprise it didn't need anything but low E saddle set up a bit, frets good, fretboard dark and pretty wood (oiled anyway) nut cut good (plastic of course) body and paint perfect no dents dings etc.... Neck had some rough spots, about 5mins with a Scotch Brite pad, Smooth as silk, tuners staying in tune after a beating, (upgrade later) sounds great, bridge PU 👍, neck PU seems a little low Volume and muddy, but ok, for the money you can't go wrong ( Your experience may differ) I got lucky received a really good one and it's Matte finish is pretty, looks great in the collection, honestly was getting it to mod if I had to, but at this point I don't see that happening, but a great Platform to do so, for the money, WOW !!!!! a beginner/expert will be satisfied with the sound and Play ability, just don't be a Guitar snob, those days are over, we've all seen these days especially cheap guitars sound and look great as some we've paid lots of $$$$$ for, let's face it, it's all about sound and play ability that's what will keep a player Interested, not brand names. I would recommend this for any level of player, my main purpose was getting something to take outside and take to friends to jam and not worry about a expensive guitar getting wrecked after a few drinks and letting friends play after a few, we players all know that feeling of babysitting our expensive equipment and friends on a jam night and drinks. Hope you get a good one like I did, very satisfied with my purchase.

For an affordable, entry level electric guitar. Going back to basics, this is the model that started it all. After all 2026 is the 75th anniversary of the Telecaster. I heavily modified the one I bought. Unfortunately it cane damaged. Looks like the Amazon courier or packers dropped it. The gutar was bruised by the output jack and had some minor finish chipping on the corner. Wasn't a big deal to me. Got reimbursed a portion of the cost. I swapped the pickups (I will use the Squier pickups in another guitar eventually, in my experience, always acceptable quality) with twin humbucker pickups and coil split them to make a Delux. I had to rout the body at the bridge to fit the humbucker. I replaced the bridge and drilled through the body to make it a stringthrough. The guitar resonates so much better. Two push-pull B500K CTS volume pots (split) and A500K CTS tone pot with an orange drop .022uf. I put a set of Fender ultra staggered locking tuners on it with a Guyker roller string tree. I had to level the frets and dive the frets from 12 down. There was rough fret ends and a few unstable frets that needed some super glue. I rounded and polished the frets back to a shine. Rolled the fretboard edges. Lowered the action and tossed a set of super stinky 10s on it. Adjusting the intonation and it plays as good as an American fender that's been setup the same. I only paid a fraction of the cost even after the upgrades. Anyway, glad to have this upgraded beast for under $500.

This is a review for the Squire debut black matte telecaster. I tracked it straight from Washington to Colorado. Packaging was in great shape. The guitar I received, is a perfect starter instrument for a beginner. It was cut correctly at the nut, intonation is good and the action only slightly higher than my preference. The strings are good and I won't need to change them out right away. Any beginner that receives an instrument like this one will be able to scan the code and learn to play. Now, for the nitty gritty. The pickups were slightly high towards the 6th string, so I adjusted those. The jack fit is slightly loose, but works for now. The switch and the pots are good. No grinding and the switch gives a solid click when it is moved between positions. The nut is plastic and cheap, but cut correctly. The bridge is top load. The angles are correct so that the saddles are about as high as they can go. (No floating saddles from lowering the action). This guitar has a plain neck, no skunk stripe and it is plain wood inside the truss rod hole. Very basic guitar. But it has what I wanted, the neck feels identical to my other Squire telecaster. I have the Squire Sonic in surf green. These are great modding guitars. I'm still finishing my Sonic mods, so now I have a guitar to play while I fix the paint on the other one. (I filed an armrest into it among other things.) I am an intermediate player, amateur wood worker and enjoy tinkering. I think Fender/Squire really did a good job of competing with the cheap Amazon guitars!

The good is it is inexpensive, it looks good and once set up it plays ok and sounds good. Now for the bad, unless you are looking for a project guitar, have the ability to experiment with and modify do not purchase. The frets were fairly level with one high. The fret ends were chopped and not rounded. Caution the ends will cut you! The bottoms stick out past the fretboard. This makes it hard to smooth them without marking the wood unless you remove the frets. The strings were cheap along with the plastic nut. It took several hours to set it up and make it playable. The tuning heads quality rate poor at best. I bought two for a music concert raffle, proceeds going to the US veterans. They will be playable and safe when I am finished before they are donated. I am very surprised that Fender endorses these guitars. If you don’t have the ability to modify and work on them, then do your self a favor and spend the money on a better quality guitar.
