Squier has teamed up with Joe Trohman of the Fall Out Boy and The Damned to create the Joe Trohman Telecaster, which is loosely based on the early ’70s Fender Telecaster Deluxe.
The Joe Trohman Telecaster guitar, like the other artist signature series of Squier was designed to provide inspiration to guitar players by making great value guitars that have the approval of great artists, ensuring quality workmanship and superb sound.
The Joe Trohman Telecaster is a looker with it’s alder body in two tone Sunburst finish. It has a C-shaped maple neck with rosewood fingerboard and it sports a 12″ radius neck with 22 Jumbo frets adorned with white clay dot inlays. Hardware includes a three ply black-white-black pickguard, chrome/skirted black amp control knobs, vintage style hardtail bridge, die-cast tuners and all the hardware are chrome detailed.
To capture the sound of the wood and strings, it has two open-coil humbucking pickups on the neck and bridge, and a single-coil Stracoster middle pickup, controlled by a five position rotary pickup selector switch and an upper bout 2 way kill switch.
Finally Joe Trohman signs on the back of it’s large circa 1968 Stratocaster headstock, signaling his approval of the guitar.
The Joe Trohman Telecaster has an MSRP of $599.99
