Boasting a nato body with a classic finish and top binding, an Indian laurel fingerboard, and a parchment pickguard, the Classic Vibe '60s Telecaster Custom harkens back to the Teles that launched a musical revolution, while two Fender-designed alnico single-coil pickups serve up legendary Tele twang.

The '60s Tele experience





Certain electric guitars are credited with shaping modern music, and the 1960s Fender Telecaster Custom is certainly one of the most iconic of them all. With this Squier Classic Vibe '60s Telecaster Custom, you can have a similar vintage tone and look at a price that any guitarist can afford. From the 3-saddle string-through-body bridge and vintage-style tuners to the bound body and 3-ply parchment pickguard, this Tele is a smooth performer with unmistakable '60s vibe.

Custom set of alnico single-coil pickups





The discerning guitarists at Sweetwater know that to get a real vintage sound from a guitar, you need to start with great pickups. The Fender-designed alnico single-coil Tele pickups in the Squier Classic Vibe '60s Telecaster Custom nail those classic tones. You'll love the clear, punchy sounds, which are perfect for playing country, blues, jazz, rock, or pop. Sonically (and visually), these pickups extend the vintage appeal of this guitar.





Vintage appointments with modern playability





The parchment pickguard, body binding, alnico pickups, 3-saddle bridge, and vintage tuning keys cover the vintage side of things. But the 9.5" fingerboard radius gives you a comfortable playing surface that allows for wider string bends than the 7.25" radius of vintage guitars. While being rounded enough for comfortable chording, this radius is perfect for double-stop bends, wide vibrato, and even bends over a whole step. And the modern C-shaped neck feels just right, smoothing the way for fleet-fingered fretting.
