Rockin’ pickup duo packs plenty of punch
When Fender originally launched the Telecaster Custom model in 1972, they set out to create a rock guitar that would appeal to a new generation of more aggressive guitarists. That’s why they outfitted it with a humbucker at the neck and a hotter bridge pickup. To capture that same spirit, Squier equipped the Classic Vibe ’70s Telecaster Custom with a rockin’ Fender Designed pickup duo. First, there’s the Wide Range humbucker at the neck, for beefy tone with serious impact. To complement that, an alnico Tele single-coil bridge pickup delivers the classic, biting Telecaster lead tone you’ve heard on countless hits. Top that off with a full set of volume and tone controls for each pickup, and the Squier Classic Vibe ’70s Telecaster Custom makes dialing in the perfect sound a piece of cake.
