  • I LOVE this guitar.
Color: Butterscotch
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. ... show more

  • Great value. It’s a Fender!!
Color: Red
Wonderful Tele that plays and sounds as good as my American made Fenders. The action makes this guitar very easy to play and there are no dead spots all the way up the neck. It’s a Fender no matter where it’s made… and beautifully finished.

  • Fender Tele worth it?
Color: Blue
It arrived within 3 days, in a very dusty box. I was concerned. The old box was difficult to open, but then; it’s a beautiful guitar! I checked the neck and no problems! Tuning keys so far, aren’t holding a tune over night like my Strat that stays in tune with locking keys, of course, it could be the Fender strings: cheapie. How does it sound? Great! I’ll have to buff the frets as they are too high and a bit tacky, but very little. They made a good guitar for under $200.00. I’ll make it a great guitar!! Well worth the money for beginners of pickers! JGL ... show more

  • Buyer beware! Overpriced and low quality/lack of quality control
Color: Red
I highly recommend not purchasing this guitar extremely letdown. I don’t know if it’s the Amazon or if it’s the drivers or if it’s just fender is not checking quality on these squires but honestly, I played several of these Squires a guitar center of the last several weeks, they felt pretty tight and responsive and decent for the price range. This one in Torino red caught my eye. I was planning to do a full build upgrade on it with all gold hardware, tortoise, guard and really give it a lot of power so it could punch above its price tag, but I can’t even touch it. I plugged it in once and just almost vomited, the hardware itself is just subpar the knobs looking feel like tin can material. The volume knob is so wobbly. It looks like it’s falling off when it’s supposed to spin uniformly. The tone knob was so broken that it spun fully in a 360 in the box was so torn up that the staples on it gouge scratches all over the fretboard customer service gave me the option to return and wait over 30 days to get my money back or to refund me $50 and keep the item both of which leave me with a guitar that doesn’t work and is supposed to be brand new. The best and most functional thing on this guitar was the Torino red. I’m not gonna complain about that but every thing else I should’ve went with my gut and ordered one of the Leo James TL series with the locking stock tuners and flame top maple I should’ve just gone with my gut and order that it’s a no-name guitar but the quality of the parts in the build and the reviews seem to me like it’s probably done right this squire sonic telecaster looks and feels and is in the shape of if it was you know class pet of the fifth grade rugby team. I’m sure that people out there get better ones than this, but if even one and 100 are like this, I would be careful. This guitar is embarrassing to even be in the same room with buyer beware ... show more

  • Fret buzz
Color: Blue
Guitar sounds ok, but there is fret buzz where the 2nd fret is too high. I know it is a low end but it does go through inspection. How did it get missed

  • Amazing Tele for $200
Color: Butterscotch
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 ❤️. ... show more
