Up for grabs is a beautifully played-in Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster in a vintage-style sunburst finish, part of the earlier Classic Vibe series known for its superior build quality. This model features the coveted brass saddles, offering that unmistakable Tele twang with added warmth and sustain.
This guitar has been thoughtfully upgraded with a Fender Texas Special custom shop pickup set, delivering a bold, articulate tone with enhanced clarity and punch—perfect for blues, country, and rock. Hipshot tuners for added tuning stability. The controls have also been upgraded for smoother response and improved reliability.
Originally purchased from a seasoned country-blues player in Knoxville, TN, this instrument has been well cared for and is in excellent condition, with only light signs of honest use.
Whether you’re looking for a reliable stage guitar, a studio workhorse, or an inspiring instrument for your collection, this Classic Vibe Tele punches well above its price point.
Here’s what really sets this guitar apart:
Elite-grade brass saddles — from the older series — deliver deeper sustain and richer tone.
Fender Texas Special pickup set — a professional-level upgrade that enhances clarity, warmth, and responsiveness.
Upgraded Hipshot locking tuners — a valuable nicety prized by gigging players for tuning stability.
Well‑maintained condition, purchased from a working country-blues musician in Knoxville, TN.
These premium mods are often what push resale prices up into the $650 range, especially because we all want “ready-to-play” quality without further upgrades.
Excellent condition – clean and well-maintained
