Love the guitar overall but the bigsby on this guitar kinda kills it.the strings rattle badly over the saddles as there is not enough tension on the bridge becasue of the way the bigsby is set up.the tv jones style pickup is nice but just a bit too warm for my taste.the bridge pickup is nice and no complaints.The neck and fretboard made this guitar attractive to me with that vintage coated fretboard and feel.Nice guitar but wished i would have got the non-bigsby version

I like it! Ready to go out of the box, at least for my level of expertise. Nice neck, set up comfortable. Single switch makes it easy to figure out what sounds can be wrung out of it. Would have liked a cooler color, but basic black is always appropriate.

Musical Background:

Long time, lots of instruments, none of them good enough.

Musical Style:

Jazz, blues

This is a cool guitar and has tonal variety.
Sound
The fideletron pickup is very brassy and tonal difference from the single coil bridge pickup and the Bigsby adds a vibe
Features
My concerns for this is the pickups are weaker than my other guitars and the neck pickup is limited to raise up, it needs more height. I would consider an upgrade on the pickups for more powerful ones. I wish that the Bigsby had a string through holes that would make string changes easy vs the pegs that make string changes tedious and time consuming. I wish the guitar had tradional Tele controls to be able to adjust tone as well as volume
Ease of Use
I can get good sounds and plays great but had to lower the bridge for better action
Quality
It's a cool guitar and Squire is coming up wth more ideas than Fender is
Value
Very affordable
Manufacturer Support
No I havent, but I feel they could make this even better
The Wow Factor
The features and the Bigsby make it cool

Musical Background:

Playing for 50 years, play guitar, bass, keyboards and mandolin

The product is well made especially for the price. The neck was nice and the frets smooth. The Bigsby was of good quality and worked well. The Gretsch style pickup did give it a different sound. I returned it because I want a lighter weight Classic Vibe thinline Tele with a hollow pocket as I think it has a little more versatile sound..

Musical Background:

20yrs Gibson guitars at home as a hobby

Musical Style:

Standards from 40's through 70"s
