squier tele custom II

alexpigment · May 19th, 2008, 06:08 PM

I saw a squier tele custom II (the one with the p-90s in it) on craigslist today for $125. Are these guitars worth buying? Let me know your thoughts (the quicker the better :) ) Thanks

simply.... yes. I had one but I modded the crap out of it. I really like the bridge p90 it came with. Add some distortion/fuzz and you're in Black Sabbath Iron man tone heaven

Yes. I prefer a glossier neck, but I think it's a great guitar that doesn't need any mods. It can twang and growl with a unique voice that makes it a great addition to one's guitar arsenal.

Snatch that bad boy up! I got mine as a blem for $180 and I can't believe how much I play it. Sounds fantastic for slide.

and.............here's a pic.

Get It! I had one,sold it ,missed it,bought it back a week later,,,,I won't sell it again! Squier really nailed it with the custom II.

Plus they look fantastic! Great tele variant.

I really love mine, it's a black one. Great sounding guitar. Duncan Designed P90s sound goot to me, plenty of mids, Tele/LP Jr-ish tones on the bridge, hum cancelling middle position with great sparkly jazzy cleans and a clear neck pup. Mod it if needed. Mine needed a lil fixing on the input bridge and tuning stability may not be perfect but hey...For 125 it's a no brainer IMO.

Yep! Do it!
Great guitar!

the bridge pickup on mine was free of any kind of sparkle.

I've always wanted to buy one of these in the Honey Blonde but have always walked with something else whenever I've had the cash. Someday maybe.
