Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? These Squier Classic Vibe Series guitars are unbelievably great! I have one of each, now, and the fit, finish and quality take a backseat to no one! Better than MIM Fenders and stand toe-to-toe w MIA Fenders! Reliability How has it stood up over time? I've only had this one for a couple weeks, but all of my others have given me absolutely no problem. Just pick it up and play, it's that good right from the box! General Your general opinion of this product. Absolutely THE best deal going for "Fender" strats and teles. If people would get over having "Squier" on the headstock, Fender USA would lose ALOT of business. I love the fact that it's a Squier Classic Vibe, and show it off! People cannot believe how sweet these are! Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Feels just right. Every Squier Classic Vibe Series guitar I've purchased has come set up perfectly to my liking. Low action and fast neck - just tune up and go! This particular Tele Thinline is nice and light in weight, for obvious reasons. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? This guitar sounds like a Tele should, but just a bit rounder in tone - not quite as bright and snappy as a standard tele, again, for obvious reasons. And I like it just that way. The bridge pickup is not ice-picky or tizzy like most teles. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Outstanding. Poly gloss finish is flawless, and mahogany grain shows thru beautifully. I cannot find a flaw anywhere, which I can't always say about much more expensive Fenders. And the pearloid pickguard is slinky and sexy as heck! Action How was the action out of the box? Perfect! Very low, just the way I like it. Just tune and go! (And NO fret buzz at all, same as every Squier Classic Vibe I own.)

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Very well made and substantially dependable as with all the Classic Vibe Squiers. Reliability How has it stood up over time? It can be set up for a variety of preferences to any style and upgraded to suit and be considered a real Fender issue not a outsourced knockoff. General Your general opinion of this product. It should a model listing not a subordinate issued model Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Once its been set up to your personal tastes you'll wonder how you ever got by without it. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? The tone can be made to suit several nuisances..setting the volume and tone in different arrays will answer you back in spades...my issue played like and sounded like a piano..but I changed the saddles with an inexpensive set of a compensated variety. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Gorgeous predentation. Action How was the action out of the box? Needed some tweaking...I personally set up several models and no two the same...but once there it held its own.
