Our take on the Classic Vibe '70s Telecaster Deluxe

The Squier Classic Vibe '70s Telecaster Deluxe is a budget reissue of Fender's 1970s twin-humbucker Telecaster. It pairs a poplar body with a maple "C"-shape neck, 9.5-inch radius and 21 narrow-tall frets, and runs two Fender-Designed Wide Range humbuckers through a vintage-style string-through bridge. The $529.99 new price at Guitar Center as of November 4, 2026 is the best of three stores listing it new and sits near the low end of its recent range.

Best forPlayers who want a Telecaster with humbuckers, not single coilsFans of 1970s Fender styling on a budgetBeginners and intermediates wanting a gig-ready second guitarRock, blues and indie players who need thicker tone
Pros
  • Two Wide Range humbuckers give a fuller, warmer sound than a standard Tele
  • Slim "C" neck and 9.5-inch radius feel easy for most hands
  • Bone nut and narrow-tall frets are unusual at this price
  • Vintage-tint gloss neck and nickel hardware look the part
  • String-through bridge with individual steel saddles stays in tune and intonates well
Cons
  • Poplar body rather than the alder of the original '70s model
  • Pickups are Fender-Designed, not true Wide Range units
  • 21 frets and no belly cut, so it feels more vintage than modern
  • Gloss polyurethane finish and heavier body can feel less refined than US models

About the Classic Vibe '70s Telecaster Deluxe

The Classic Vibe '70s Telecaster® Deluxe is a faithful nod to the 1970s evolution of the Tele®, creating massive tone courtesy of the dual Fender-Designed Wide Range humbucking pickups. Player-friendly features include a slim, comfortable "C"-shaped neck profile with an easy-playing 9.5"-radius fingerboard and narrow-tall frets, as well as a vintage-style Telecaster bridge with a string-through-body design and individual steel saddles for precise adjustment. This throwback Squier model also features 1970s-inspired headstock markings, rich-looking nickel-plated hardware and a slick vintage-tint gloss neck finish for an old-school vibe.
