Guitar Master Jon. As usual those melodies that flow from your soul are like the melodies that i hear in my head! And most times they wake me up and i go to the computer and record them before the dream escapes. Bluesy and spacey, most beautiful licks i have ever heard. As far as the guitar, you were spot on with your review on this wonderfully crafted instrument and i don't care where it was made! Master craftsmanship is not exclusive to any one country. As with your assessment of the pickups, I totally agree with you, they are not the best as far as clearity and volume. So i did order some better ones. Thank you so much for your review and sharing your knowledge with us. You are much appreciated!

Great review and great playing as always my friend. It is odd that this video came up today, I just found one of these Telecasters earlier today and will be picking it up Saturday.

I have the vintage edition of the 40th anniversary telecasters. The neck and everything on it are fantastic. Though the neck pickup is a tiny bit muted. Loved it so much over all I bought two more.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Awesome!

[@rickylakemusic]

I have a red one. Instead of changing the pups, just take the neck pick up out of the tone circuit to cure the muddiness. I like my 40th anniversary squier a lot.

[@senseiruss]

Thanks for the excellent demo and review! I mostly agree with your assessment of this guitar. In my experience, right out of the box, it was stunning visually, ready to play, and just needed minor intonation and a little lower action for my preference. The bridge pickup was great, but the neck pickup was not just "warm" but I found it to be muddy. Both pickups, as you mentioned, are fairly low output. I had this guitar for a year, and played it enough to get a good sense of it. I decided to sell it, because in my estimation, it didn't sound as good as the $150 Squier Bullet Telecaster that I have. It is quite beautiful to look at, though, and it was comfortable to play, but when you have LOTS of guitars, like I do, some don't get played enough. After a year of trying it out, I realized it was never going to be a go-to guitar, so it had to…go!

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

[@Lean6]

Always great demos! That Tele is beautiful! The only thing that worries me is the headstock finish. I had a black Squier CV 70s Stratocaster with that glossy headstock, and the headstock finish was very brittle. Out of nowhere, there were cracks. I'm pretty soft-handed with my instruments too. So, for now, I went with the satin vintage Tele 40th anniversary model.

[@nohero178]

Just a small note of correction, technically the first instruments to bear the Squier name were made in the 1890s as Jerome and his son Victor Squier were famous fiddlemakers long before the company was sold to Fender. The 40th anniversary refers only to Squier as a guitar manufacturer.

This is actually my first electric guitar that I ever bought, I love it, still learning how to play on both acoustic and electric, but the aesthetics were too nice, and when I purchased it fender was having a 40% off sale, so I got it for 349, I could not pass up on the price and it plays beautifully.

after seeing this review i said to myself, no way this is still in stock, i go on thomann, and its literally the only 40th anni model of the Telecaster they had left and not only that but also at a reduced price at 330 euros and not a B-stock, either not that i would had minded if it was B-stock in all fairness. I couldnt resist buying it, thanks for the amazing review of this beautiful guitar Jon.

Quick Question ---- what is the red device that you have on or near the first fret while you are using a Slide? Thanks....OH, the reason I bought it was that I ordered a Certano G & B Bender for it, and it's now with a Luthier for installation of that device!

[@_Teo__]

I ordered the green one from Thomann and i have to say that was the last time buying a guitar from there. The guitar came with a big cut on the binding next to the 4th fret. Probably done by a screwdriver. I just wonder, Thomann is checking the guitars before sending them? It is very disappointing if fender put them in boxes in such condition. Furthermore i have to ad that compared to the Classic vibe series, the specific one felt more cheap in my hands.

There`s nothing affordable about these 40th Anniversay Squiers. They cost more than the Mexican Fenders used to cost just a few years back and they have the same terribe electronics in them as the Bullets and the Affinities and I belive the same pickups as the Classic Vibes. They seem like fine guitars but at this price there are much better options like the Sires, Harley Benton Fusion or EART or just save a bit more and buy a Mexican Fender with better hardware.

You are right..Its affordable depending on different perspective.
