The FSR Classic Vibe '50s Telecaster in White Blonde with gold hardware is a head-turner. It's the kind of guitar that makes people stop and ask about it, and fortunately, it plays as good as it looks. The Classic Vibe '50s Tele captures that original Telecaster magic -- alnico single-coil pickups deliver the snap, twang, and bite that made the Tele a country and rock standard from the very start.

Maple fingerboard on a Telecaster is the traditional spec, and it contributes that characteristic brightness and percussive attack to every note. The gold hardware against the White Blonde finish gives it an almost custom-shop feel at a fraction of the cost. As a Factory Special Run, this configuration won't be around forever. The Classic Vibe series is already the best value in Squier's lineup, and this limited edition takes it up another notch.
