Squier Classic Vibe 50s Telecaster in Black

The Squier Limited Edition Classic Vibe 50s Telecaster in Black is a stylish tribute to the very first solid-body electric that started it all. Channelling the look, feel and sound of early 1950s Tele models, it pairs Fender-designed alnico single-coil pickups with a comfortable modern playing experience, all wrapped up in a sleek black finish that looks at home on any stage.

With its slim C-shaped neck, 9.5 inch radius maple fingerboard and narrow tall frets, this Tele is built to feel instantly familiar whether you are a beginner or a seasoned player. A vintage-style Telecaster bridge with chrome barrel saddles and a string-through-body design delivers that classic snap and sustain, while period-correct details like 1950s-inspired headstock markings, nickel-plated hardware and a tinted gloss neck finish complete the old-school vibe.

Under the bonnet, a pair of Fender-designed alnico single-coils provide the bright, articulate tones that made the original Tele famous. From spanky country twang and chiming indie rhythms to gritty blues and rock, this Classic Vibe model covers a huge amount of ground with simple, intuitive controls.

Whether you are chasing your first proper Tele or adding a vintage-flavoured workhorse to your collection, the Squier Limited Edition Classic Vibe 50s Telecaster in Black delivers authentic Fender character, dependable performance and standout looks at a very accessible price point.

Vintage Tele Tone with Fender-Designed Pickups

At the heart of this Classic Vibe Tele is a set of Fender-designed alnico single-coil pickups. Voiced to capture the clarity and bite of early 50s instruments, they deliver tight lows, a punchy midrange and sparkling highs that cut through a mix. The three-way blade switch gives you classic Tele versatility, from bright bridge twang to warm neck tones and a balanced middle position that is perfect for rhythm work.

Comfortable C-Shaped Neck and Modern Playability

The slim C-shaped maple neck feels fast and inviting in the hand, making long sessions and big chord stretches far more comfortable. A 9.5 inch fingerboard radius and narrow tall frets strike a sweet balance between vintage feel and modern playability, allowing for easy string bending and clean chord voicings right across the neck.

Classic Tele Hardware and Construction

A 3-saddle vintage-style Telecaster bridge with chrome barrel saddles and a string-through-body design provides rock-solid tuning stability and that unmistakable Tele snap. Nickel-plated hardware, vintage-style tuners and a 4-bolt Squier neck plate ensure reliable performance while reinforcing the guitar’s traditional aesthetic.

Timeless Black Aesthetic with 50s Flair

The gloss polyurethane poplar body finished in black, paired with a 1-ply black pickguard, gives this Tele a bold, stage-ready look. 1950s-inspired headstock markings and a tinted gloss urethane neck finish add a subtle vintage warmth, so you get the feel of a well-loved classic with the reliability of a brand-new instrument.
