The Squier Standard Telecaster is the top of the line among the Squier Series Telecaster. This guitar is patterned after the Fender Telecasters but in a lower price with lower specifications. It is manufactured by Fender in its China or Indonesia factory. The Squier Telecaster has the following models.

• Standard
• Affinity

• Classic Vibe Telecaster ’50s
• Vintage Modified ’72 Telecaster Thinline

Features

The Standard Telecaster guitar is fitted with a fast-action “C”-shaped neck profile patterned on a late ’60s Telecaster. It has a hot single-coil pickup in the bridge position which provides all the bite you want for stinging leads while in the neck position, the Standard Telecaster’s warm-sounding chrome-covered single-coil pickup helps you find your own voice.

Squier Standard Telecaster – Vintage Blonde

Pros

• Good Price
• It has 22 frets
• Parts availability for upgrades and repairs
• Made by Fender
• Fixed bridge which is good for beginners

Cons

• The body is made of Agathis which is a cheaper alternative to Alder which is standard among Fender guitars.

Conclusion

This is a good Telecaster guitar for beginners and for those who cannot afford a real Fender. The fixed bridge is also good for those who are still practicing to avoid detuning problems inherent to tremolo bridges. Fixed bridges will also produce more sustain than tremolo bridges. I would recommend this than the Telecasters made by other companies with the same price range.
