Squier Tele Custom II

Well, I've owned this guitar for about a month now and I can't say enough about it. As I've posted on serveral guitar discussion pages, my new found love of P90s and my love for Telecasters prompted me to buy this fantastic guitar. I also own an Epiphone Casino which also has P90s and is really responible for me buying this particular guitar. The sounds I can get out of these pickups, and both my Casino & Tele Custom II are simply amazing. I can't get some great Zeppellin to Hendrix tones as well as B.B. King, Freddie King, Muddy Waters tones. Just fat, dirty, smooth, and these can growl. Awesome for slide work too.

The guitar itself weighs in around 7lbs. I purchased it as a scratch-n-dent from americanmusical.com for $185. Even though I recently finished my dream Telecaster, this one may see more playing time. Don't get me wrong, both guitars are great, but I'm starting to feel this one is a bit more versatile. It also has more output than my other Tele which is to be expected since the Custom II is equipped with P90s. Normally I would upgrade the pickups in any Squire, but these are great and are staying. At least for a while.

All in all, I would definitley recommend this guitar. You can't beat the price. You get a great guitar new for $230. Here are some pics for your enjoyment.
