New Squier Artist Series Deryck Whibley Telecaster

Squire has a new Artist Series model, the Deryck Whibley Telecaster. For those who don't know (and I didn't) Whibley is the leader of Juno-winning Canadian punk-pop trio Sum 41. Okay, so I know Sum 41, my little sister is a fan, just not any of their members. I'm not completely out of touch afterall.

I have a pet hate of guitars with the following graphics: The letter X, A red hospital +, and the anarchy A.

Squire says "His new Squier signature model nails the vibe of a classic ’70s Fender Telecaster Deluxe model, with features including Whibley’s signature red X graphics, a single ferocious Duncan Designed humbucking pickup and retro-cool 'blackface' amp control knobs."
