Best HH Fender electric guitars

Top pick: Squier Classic Vibe '70s Telecaster Deluxe — two proper humbuckers, a 25.5" scale and a hardtail bridge, so it stays in tune under heavy riffing and cleans up nicely for indie and blues. It's the most guitar you get in this family.

Who the others suit:

• Squier Sonic Mustang HH — the cheapest real HH Fender-family guitar; short scale makes it easy on small hands and beginners.
• Squier Classic Vibe '70s Stratocaster HT HSS — if you want Strat feel but only need a humbucker at the bridge.
• Fender Standard Jazzmaster HH — a wider, offset body and dual humbuckers for players who want something less ordinary (the one listed is pre-owned).

Skip the HSS and single-humbucker models if you truly need two humbuckers.
