This is my 2011 Squier
Classic Vibe Custom Telecaster which I purchased new. Being a 2011, this is one
of the Chinese ones that are generally considered superior to the current
Indonesian offerings. IMO the guitar is a good one and has always played very
nicely. Obviously there are the numerous usual tiny scratches that show up when
you shine a torch on the finish and look very closely but additionally, since
these photos were taken, there are 2 new visible dints in the finish on the
front of the guitar near to the bridge and I will photograph these later today
and add them to the post shortly. A few years ago, I had the stock steel bridge
saddles upgraded to Wilkinson compensated brass saddles, I had an
electro-socket jack cup fitted and I also had the guitar modded for 4 way
switching using a quality Oak Grigsby switch if I remember rightly. This work
was carried out by a well rated local luthier in Leicester as well the guitar
being given a general set up. Because I'm completely anal, I also upgraded the
control plate to a thicker one to match the thickness of the pickguard! I will
include the original control plate and steel saddles in any transaction of
course. I also replaced the original strap buttons with Schaller strap lock
buttons but in this case, I unfortunately don't have the original buttons so
will leave the Schallers in. The guitar has been used with 10-46 gauge strings since
new.
I think the guitar is in great condition minus its
2 dints as mentioned. I don't gig and the guitar has barely ever left the house
which has no doubt helped preserve it. The guitar has not been played much in
recent years and as such, the fretwork appears to still be very well preserved
at this point and IMO, while it was good out of the box anyway, it still plays
as well as the day it was professionally set up. I love this guitar, for the
price of these it’s an amazing thing IMO, but the reason I’m thinking of
shifting it is that it comes in second to my old Blackguard style Tele and as
such, doesn’t get played much and lacks purpose.
What I’m most looking for is some sort of trade or trade+cash deal for something with humbuckers. I’m mainly looking to be tempted by an Epiphone SG, Dot or Les Paul. Alternatively, I'll sell for £280 or possibly take a good offer.
If you're interested, my preference would be to
work out some sort of pickup or dropoff deal at this point. I've never posted a
guitar as I’m not a serial buyer/seller and I don't feel particularly
enthusiastic or confident about the prospect but may be talked into it. I'm
based in Leicestershire. Pictures are below. Thanks for reading.
