Everybody has heard of the Fender Telecaster. It is one of the most famous electric guitar models ever to grace the rock and roll stage, seen in the hands of such legendary superstars as Keith Richards, Jimmy Page, and George Harrison. Vintage models from the Sixties and early Seventies fetch amazingly high prices in the collectors' market today.

If a collectible classic instrument is a bit out of your price range, this baby may be just what you are looking for. It plays like a dream, and costs a fraction of the price of its big brother.

The modern Telecaster guitar features a lighting-fast neck profile reminiscent of its late nineteen-sixties namesake. Two hot single-coil pickups deliver all the sound you crave, with enough dynamic range for screaming leads, melodic arpeggios and driving rhythms.

Maybe it is the choice of wood, Agathis for the body, Maple for the neck, and Rosewood for the fretboard, that gives this instrument its rich, vibrant sound. Still, equal credit should go to the classic design of the pickups and the overall workmanship.

There are twenty-two frets on the standard edition. The strings-through-body style bridge is sturdy and reliable. All the machines are die cast metal, with chrome covers, built to last. Adorning touches include an engraved neck plate, inlaid fingerboard, and the classic three-ply pick guard.

Coming in 2010, a couple of new vintage Telecaster reissues that are sure to please. Retro styling brought back to life again so that a whole new generation of musicians gets the to enjoy some of the best designs of the sixties, updated for the modern day use.

The Custom has a sunburst finish with a double-bound alder body and a mint green pick guard, the Thinline is a semi-hollow design made of mahogany with f-holes and a white pick guard. Both have a maple neck, rosewood fingerboard and twenty-one frets, custom alnico single-coil pickups, a three saddle bridge and vintage-style tuners.

So even if you are a rising star on a falling budget, you don't have to settle for anything less than a totally cool Fender-designed Squier Telecaster guitar!
