Squier 40th Anniversary Telecaster, Gold Edition, Black
GAK Overview
Celebrating 40 golden years of accessible, high-quality, stylish guitars.
Over the years, Squier has become renowned for their cost-effective substitutes to the Fender range, without lacking in sound quality, classic design and premium hardware. Celebrating 40 years of accessible entry-level guitars, the Gold Edition Squiers add an extra amount of glam and style to your playing, featuring matching gold hardware and a gloss body/neck finish.
Flawless Construction
This Squier Telecaster Gold Edition features a solid Nyatoh body, a tonewood that’s similar to the warm and mid-rich sound of Mahogany. Joining the Nyatoh body is a Maple neck, carved to a classic “C” neck profile, a smooth Indian Laurel fretboard, 21 frets and the iconic Telecaster headstock. Combined, these tonewoods deliver a balanced, resonant tone and superb playability. No matter what style you play, you’ll be able to glide your hand seamlessly across the frets as well as perform powerful and flexible bends.
Fender Designed Pickups
The Squier Telecaster Gold Edition comes equipped with two Fender Design Single-Coil pickups with Alnico 5 Magnets, providing the bright and snappy tone the Telecaster is known for. The volume and tone control together with the 3-way switch lets you easily adjust your sound and give you full control over your tone, whether you want the classic Tele “Twang” or cleaner, lighter tones.
Quality Hardware
The Squier 40th Anniversary gold Tele is built with a 3-saddle string-through-body bridge that provides rock-solid performance and authentic style. The sleek vintage-style tuners ensure exceptional tuning stability whilst visually complimenting the stylish golden hardware.
Other features include the Gold Anodized Aluminum Pickguard, a 40th-anniversary neckplate, and a vintage-inspired headstock logo.
With an exceptional look and sound that’s addictive to play, the Squier 40th Anniversary Telecaster Gold Edition offers a classic tone and design that is reminiscent of a vintage Fender - with all modern hardware to ensure reliable and high-quality performance.
