I’ll tell you I’m not much on the squire fender series. I was just on ebay and saw a Fernandes early strat (who make Tele too)and if you could find one of those it would be much better. The one I just saw from Music 123 wanted $150.00 for it. I was amazed at the price. It was a Retro Rocket and looked just like a strat. If you don’t want the fernandes try the Mexician Tele’s. I believe it would be a better buy for the money.
